Would there be, even by a slightest chance a book about Teddy? I know the only scandal he had was that whole betting thing a few years back, rubbish mind you. I also know that him and Cole weren't exactly the best of mates either. Thanks in advance.

Enjoyed this a fair bit as it gave one an insight into issues that were prevalent at a whole other time. It's been a while since I read it, but I do remember that there were many issues that were present back in the day that were still present today... like commercialism in the game and players' wages relative to other professions. Mitten was a very intelligent man! 2) A Strange Kind of Glory. Another Dunphy work, this one on Sir Matt. I read this almost 10 years back and have since misplaced the book! I remember that the sections devoted to Munich were very moving. A good read. There's a couple on my shelf that I'm planning to read shortly so I'll point out anything interesting from them. I'm curious about the Lost Babes book... anyone know anything about it? A very intriguing title and touches the subject most dear to United fans. I read the Frank Taylor book and there's not much to say about it that hasn't been said - a must read. Turab.
