  Why are Manchester United far and away Ireland's most popular team? This is the question addressed in Simply Red and Green, with the help of exclusive interviews with some of the game's top personalities. Stars such as John Giles, Jack Charlton, Eamon Dunphy and Paul McGrath take you behind the scenes to reveal the stories at the heart of United's greatest triumphs and disasters, offering startling insights into some of the most controversial moments in the club's history. An extraordinary marriage of sports book and social history volume, Simply Red and Green sweeps over two centuries to detail the rich and complex relationship between Manchester and Ireland. The Busby Babes, the Munich disaster, the European Cup glory and the Ferguson years are all revisited through Green-tinted glasses in this book, which both entertains and surprises. Compelling, perceptive and humorous, Simply Red and Green is the definitive book on the long-running love affair between Manchester United and Ireland.
