Cambridge United Football Club

This book contains over 200 images recording the remarkable history of Cambridge United Football Club. From the early days as Abbey United in the l920s, it illustrates the rise from village league football to the very edge of the top flight, then the ups and downs of the 1990's. Particular tribute is paid to the vision and ambition of the directors in the 1950s, including the astonishing signing of Wilf Mannion, the development of the ground, the building of the team into the finest non-League side in the country and election to the Football League. The selection includes team group pictures, action shots, notable and humorous events and favourite players. Great managers, such as Ron Atkinson, the teenagers who were developed by the club and who went on to become household names, the characters behind the scenes and the famous matches are all here. Many original photographs that have never before been published are found in this collection, featuring many highs and lows involving championships and relegations, Wembley triumph, giant-killing acts and FA Cup runs. Compiled by Brian Attmore and Graham Nurse, both Cambridge United supporters for over 35 years, this is an essential purchase for fans of all ages.
