Inhaltsangabe

If I Hadn’t Seen Such Riches chronicles Manchester United’s dramatic 1990/91 European Cup Winners’ Cup adventure, weaving in the culture, economics and vibrant music scene of the time. After the Three Lions’ heroics at Italia 90 captured the nation’s hearts, it was time for English clubs to return to European competition after five years in the wilderness. In the wake of an era marred by rampant hooliganism, dwindling attendances and crumbling facilities, English football boomed. FA Cup success in 1990 bought Alex Ferguson time, but it was by no means a given that he would become the legendary figure and knight we know today. United, pioneers of European football in the late 50s, once more flew the flag for England. The intrepid Reds, competing in the quirky and much-loved Cup Winners’ Cup, travelled to Hungary, Wales, France and Poland en route to an unforgettable rain-soaked night in Rotterdam. This is the definitive account of a pivotal campaign that laid the foundations for unprecedented success.
