70 years ago today Sir Matt Busby was given the job as Manchester United manager and the history of our football club was changed forever. His dedication to giving young, local players a chance set him apart from all other managers at the time.

To mark the anniversary, RoM has brought out a PDF which looks at some of the greatest players who have graduated from our academy.

All the profit from this is going to the Trafford Macmillan Wellbeing Centre which helps people who have been diagnosed with cancer and their family.

You can get the standard e-book version for your Kindle or download the PDF, which costs a minimum of £3, but you can pledge whatever sum of money you like for this good cause. Simply type your e-mail address here and the price you would like to pay, then press ‘Continue’.

 
 

You can also download it on Amazon if you would prefer it in a format suitable for your Kindle.
