Trinity a SCOTSMAN an Englishman, a Scotsman and an and an IRISHMAN Irishman Walked Onto a Football Pitch

Title information AN ENGLISHMAN, Growing Up With the Trinity A SCOTSMAN An Englishman, a Scotsman and an AND AN IRISHMAN Irishman Walked Onto a Football Pitch... WALKED ONTO A FOOTBALL PITCH By Brendon McGuire Key features • First-hand, dramatic account of a young boy from a TRINITY GROWING UP WITH THE troubled home, who found hope and motivation through watching Manchester United • A nostalgic recall for anyone who remembers the era of TRINITY Charlton, Best and Law, amidst the changing fashions and music of 60s Manchester • Written by Brendon McGuire, a respected researcher in the field of football, community and history • Sharp historical and social analysis coupled with enlightening interviews with key United figures • Colour photo section to tie in with the text BRENDON MC GUIRE Description Growing Up With the Trinity brings to life that unique period in 60s football when Manchester United had three European Players of the Year – Charlton, Best and Law – in their team. As the Manchester football scene blended with music and fashion, a young boy found inspiration watching these legends. As a child, Brendon McGuire was taken to Old Trafford by his mother, as his colourful, hard-drinking father had no interest in football. Seeing George Best make his debut, the Stretford End became a place of sanctuary while the music scene of 1960s Manchester provided the soundtrack for a road to be travelled. The awesome power of a Bobby Dazzler, the sight of the 17-year-old Best twisting a full-back’s blood, and the raised-arm salute of Denis Law created an alluring magic. As The Beatles rocked one end of the East Lancs Road, Manchester responded with its own top bands and Northern Soul, forming an irreplaceable moment in time for Manchester United, a fast-changing city and one young boy.

A 2020 Round-Up
NEWSLETTER A 2020 Round-Up A word from our CEO, Duncan Drasdo Some of you may remember the occasion, back in 1992, when the Queen famously described the preceding 12 months as an annus horribilis. It seems that 2020 looked back on its ‘92 forefather, rolled up its sleeves and said “Hold my beer”. This is a year that few will be sorry to see behind us. It’s hard to imagine how we’d have reacted to a prediction that 2020 would see the season suspended and then games resume behind closed doors with fans excluded from stadia. Worse still Liverpool seized the chance to break a 30-year drought with their first league title* since 1990. (*Historians with Red Mancunian sympathies will delight in applying an asterisk to this entry in the record books). More seriously though, the impact of Covid on people’s lives has been immense - millions have been impacted financially and many thousands have died. Sadly, when we finally do return, there will be numerous seats at Old Trafford permanently deprived of their previous occupants. That is quite a sobering thought. It’s no exaggeration to say that Covid has dominated everything and that includes MUST’s own activities - whether they be discussions with the Club, representing our supporters, or working to support our local community through our Foodbank initiative. It’s often said that adversity brings out the best in people and that’s certainly been true of so many in this pandemic. Manchester United itself has been no exception in that respect with tremendous support for the local community, and indeed our own Foodbank Appeal with a £50,000 donation the eye- catching headline, but many more activities going on behind the scenes.
