Born this day, Harry Gregg. A man who climbed back into a burning plane and rescued a baby and a mother. Plus god knows what else he did and witnessed at the end of that Munich runway. A special kind of hero.

I wrote a huge scene in Once Upon a Time in Manchester, when all the gang bosses met a cop in the Midland hotel discussing the Krays. Last day or so working on a similar scene with all the great underworld organisations together in Dubai. Now ten pages long. Very proud of it.

When i did this book i found it absolutely remarkable how many managers we went through after Sir Matt in just six years before being relegated. At times there was anarchy behind the scenes, but compared to since Fergie left, that period appears almost tranquil. Mad days...

21 years ago today my first book went into the shops. Took the day off work to go sign copies in town. Tuesday September 11 2001. We ended up in a pub watching what felt like the end of the world on telly. Always been lucky me.

Announcement from our house! (Always wanted to say that!) As from 6 o'clock tonight going live with CINEMATIC. All my books fade to black. Moving forward with a huge series of short, outrageous, entertaining (hopefully) stories, and the promise of never slowing down. On a roll!

Came across this looking for something else! Probably my favourite United book. Dedicated to my old fella at the front. Was thinking about doing a sequel, take the story on from 68 to Fergie's last game against them at Old Trafford. So much to write about.
