The Forgotten Legends

Let us take a nostalgic trip back in time to the age of Harry Stafford, Charlie Roberts, Sandy Turnbull, Joe Spence, Johnny Carey and Jack Rowley. These were the greats who made Manchester United great. They could lick creation then have a laugh about it. They were real men who could fight in wars for their country and even die if they had to.

They had two more things in common: all made their United debuts before the start of the second world war, and none of them have had their story told. If poor Ralph Milne could make the Top 100 Manchester United players’ list by default, then these legends really ought to make it on merit.
