Manchester United's Role In My Troubled Life

Any Manchester United fan with any sense of history should

download this book immediately. I can guarantee that this is

the funniest book you have read for years, Peter Morris was

a young boy from a single parent working class family

growing in 1960’s Salford. His frequent battles with his

family and school are both hilarious and touching, and his

survival tactics, although questionable, are a wonderful

mixture of cunning and slapstick. But when all else fails

and life is bleak, he always has his beloved Manchester

United and the trio of Best, Law and Charlton to turn to.

Peter’s dubious claim to fame is that he and George Best

both made their debut at Old Trafford on the same day!


His account of watching the 1963 FA Cup final on a small

black and white television will have you reduced to tears of

laughter. And the chapter on his interview with his careers

master at his school is destined to be a classic.


Peter also didn’t miss a home match during the famous 1967

championship winning season and his opinions of what the

young fans on the terraces actually thought of the football

superstars of that era are both enlightening and unashamedly honest.


Peter has written the acclaimed crime comedy novel,

‘The Murder Club’ also available on Kindle. He has also

written for the Guardian and the Sunday Mirror and appeared

on BBC Radio 4.
