The book is based on 10 chapters about 10 significant Manchester united games from 1909 to 2016. Chapters are typically 25-30 pages of a match report with context, significance and background to each match. The weakness of the book is that the match reports are written from newspaper reports – not firsthand eyewitness by the author. The most interesting aspect of the book is the context of each game, why it was so significant in the history of Manchester United. In a way the book charts the ups and downs of the united story over 100 years and more.
