AUTOGRAPHS INSIDE THIS BOOKTHE OFFICIAL MANCHESTER UNITED100 GREATEST PLAYERS BOOK SIGNEDBY 65 PLAYERSA remarkable piece of history - thelargest collection of ManchesterUnited autographs we’ve ever offered -this is a must for one luckyManchester United fan!We acquired this book from a dealerwho we often work with, and heobtained EVERY AUTOGRAPH INPERSON! Take a look at the list on the right - itreally is a who’s who of Man Utd legends. Many of theplayers have signed against their photo entries in thebook, but it was produced in 2001, so a lot of therecent players, i.e. Rio, Rooney etc have signed to theinside covers. Towards the end of the list, the players have full pagecolour photos, and the signed ones here must add tothe value: Mark Hughes, Denis Law, Roy Keane, Bryan
Robson, Bobby Charlton, Ryan Giggs and George Besthave all signed full page photos of themselves.
The book has suffered slightly from it’s travels - theres a few knocks onthe corners, but it’s otherwise in superb condition. A fascinating piece -one of the best items of Man Utd memorabilia we’ve ever had thepleasure of offering.
