I wrote books about Manchester United in the 70s, 80s & 90s. Thought it was about time I got stuck into the noughties one. I've been meeting the players and speaking to them about a remarkable time at MUFC. You can pre-order here.

I’m at Bala Town v Colwyn Bay. Welsh top tier. Is there a smaller town in Europe (Bala pop 3,000) with a top-flight team? .Watched my dad play at Colwyn Bay in ‘85. He marked Ian Rush’s brother who was their centre forward.
