About this book

Starting with their first-ever European Cup game in 1956, this personalised Manchester United in Europe newspaper book features genuine newspaper content from the past century, documenting the team’s top games and star players throughout their European tournaments. 

United have captured six major trophies on the continent. Three European Cups, a UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, the Europa League, and the European Super Cup, all of which are covered in this book.

The first triumph was in 1968, when Sir Matt Busby’s side came alive in extra-time, scoring three goals in seven minutes to topple a Benfica side led by Eusebio and become the first English team to win the European Cup. The most recent success was the 2016/17 Europa League, where Mourinho’s men swept aside Ajax in the final. But without question, the greatest night in United’s European history came at the Nou Camp in 1999, as Sir Alex Ferguson’s team, trailing Bayern Munich since the 6th minute, scored two goals in injury time via substitutes Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to not only win the Champions League but also complete a historic league, cup and European treble, the first English club to ever achieve such a feat.

Our football history books would make a great gift for any lover of the history of football. However, the each book is designed to appeal to fans of the individual football teams. They make a great keepsake to look back on again and again.

Are the pages real, or reproductions of newspapers?

The pages are scans of original newspaper pages. Every effort has been made to clean up scans to make them as clear as possible. In some instances there will be blemishes and the reproduction quality may not be as clear or precise as copying directly from the actual papers itself. 

What name can I enter in the personalisation?

Enter the name as you wish it to be printed on the book. You have a maximum of 13 characters for the first name and surname – which is optional. Please only use standard characters that may be part of someone's name. This include accents. Make sure to double-check your spelling.

Does the book contain every newspaper article about the team?

If we included every article then the book would be too big to print. We have edited the book to include the most interesting articles about their victories, and defeats, to tell the the full story of the team's history.
