Mark Nevin : A Deeper Shade of Red: Loving United...living with Liverpool before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised A Deeper Shade of Red: Loving United...living with Liverpool:

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. On That United v Liverpool RivalryBy Trevor BideMark Nevin was the son of two Liverpool supporting parents and furthermore went to primary school about 12 miles away from Liverpool, where 9 out of 10 supported Liverpool and that included the school teachers. During this period of time Liverpool were winning everything and conquering all before them.Ten years later Mark went on to the University of Liverpool to study for his degree and Liverpool were still winning everything. You would have thought that Mark would have been a very happy and lucky man, but unfortunately that was not the case. You see Mark Nevin was a massive Manchester United supporter... Shock...HorrorThis is not a book about Mark Nevin himself as such, but his recollections of growing up in the middle of the two biggest clubs in England who believed in totally different things.For me the book was easy to follow and the memories well ingrained in my mind. I was one of that breed of older United fans who had been through the pain barrier of Liverpool winning everything. I had been through having to settle for the odd F.A Cup final and even on occasions winning a few, but there was no league title. However unlike Mark Nevin I had not been a United fan living in the middle of massive Liverpool support.The author talks about how tall he felt in school on the Monday after the Jimmy Greenhoff goal (the goal Jim knew little about), had won United the cup in 1977 against Liverpool. He talks about how and when the rivalry was born.He remembers that superb Docherty side of 1976 - 77 comparing it to Johan Cruyff and Punk Rock for individual spirit. The author looks at music and especially the Manchester music scene. Whilst he was watching United and bands like The Fall, Joy Division and later the Buzzcocks I was watching United and falling out of The Clash, Stranglers, Damned and Ramones concerts after some heavy pogoing.Talks about the Dave Sexton days at United and how for the first time in a long time attendances started to decline at . Dave Sexton was the complete opposite to Tommy Docherty and was happy to shun the limelight, but the constant dropping of Gordon Hill and then eventually selling him did not please the Old Trafford faithful. With Hill gone and gates declining a 7 match winning run at the end of the 1981 season was not enough to save Dave Sexton from the sack.Gives credit to for the fine side he put together that included some marvelous players. Mostly though for the three absolute legends Atkinson introduced to the team in Robson, Whiteside and Hughes. These 3 were hated on Merseyside with a passion.Remembers fondly the game at in 1988 when United were 3-1 down and down to 10 men. With the introduction of that man Norman Whiteside coming on and putting in shall we say one or two tackles and then scoring through a deflected shot, we were back in the game. In those days Liverpool would just step it up and finish you off, but as waltzed through equalised and then motioned that he had a cigar on, man did we love it. Afterwards the adrenaline was still flowing as Liverpool manager Dalglish and United manager Ferguson had words. Just a normal United v Liverpool clash really.Looks back on the league game at Anfield on the last day of March 1985. A firm header gave United a 1-0 win against the run of play and finished off any hope of Liverpool overhauling Everton for the title that year. Three weeks later United knocked Liverpool out of the F.A Cup during a breath-taking replay. I can still see that goal from Bryan Robson in my mind now.Comments further about the Manchester band scene, the development of the two Cities, the differences in the clubs, puts pay to some long-standing myths especially to do with crowd attendances. To be quite honest there's a bit of everything in the book.Long time United fans will remember it all. I certainly did and enjoyed it thoroughly. The more recent United fans owe it to themselves to learn about the rivalry down the years. Although mostly about the Liverpool v United rivalry there is also much talk on games against other clubs. I certainly recommend the book it simply has a bit of everything. Thank you Mark Nevin for a darn good read.

Manchester United and Liverpool were born to be enemies. Both emerged in the cultural battlefield of the north-west of England in the late nineteenth century. One a team of railway workers, the other the plaything of a wealthy freemason, the two clubs emerged blinking into a period where the two great civic centres of the north-west were at each others throats over the construction of the Manchester Ship Canal, and whatever else they could find. When, in the late 1970s, the conflict as we know it today began to peak, Mark Nevin found himself smack in the middle of it. Born to Liverpool-supporting parents, Mark went to primary school a stone’s throw from the Merseyside boundary, grew up among friends who were all the wrong shade of red and even managed to find himself at university in Liverpool as Madchester was raving and the balance of power in football slowly began to change… This isn’t really Mark’s story. It’s more the story of two football clubs who grew up close to each other believing in very different things. It’s the story of two cities who experienced much the same cultural and industrial changes, but who viewed them very differently and whose values began to be reflected in the two biggest clubs in the history of the English game. It was a battleground, and Mark was right among the enemy bullets. All of which gave him a unique - and admittedly very one-sided - perspective on the rivalry: the result is A Deeper Shade of Red.

About the AuthorMark Nevin started reporting on football more than twenty-six years ago and now regularly writes for United website http://www.redmancunian.com as well as his own http://adeepershadeofred.blogspot.co.uk. Above all, though, he's a United fan. His recent book A Deeper Shade the Red tells of his experiences of supporting United who was surrounded throughout childhood and early adulthood by triumphalist Liverpool supporters...but who's since got his own back, and then some. Mark's book offers some interesting and often unique insights into the rivalry between the two clubs, much of which were gathered behind or close to enemy lines.
