Remembering That First Time - Manchester United's First FA Cup Success In 1909

Manchester United's recent history is extensively documented, and the current players all household names, while success is something that is practically taken for granted  But what of those players and events of a bygone era?

Here for the first time is the story of how United won their first major trophy, the FA Cup in 1909, taking you on a round by round journey from Lancashire to London, with individuals like captain Charlie Roberts, the burly Sandy Turnbull and the incomparable Billy Meredith.

Football over a century ago was an entirely different game, but the achievement was greeted with as much enthusiasm as any modern day triumph.
