Manchester United begin their 2013 pre-season tour against a Singha
All Star XI at the Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on 13 July.
It’ll be the first chance for David Moyes to see his new Red charges in a
‘proper’ match environment, and a chance for the players to work off
the weight they’ve gained from drinking a few too many Singhas in
summer.
13 July is also our closing date for our exclusive competition to win
one of three signed copies of ‘Fergie’s Finest: Alex Ferguson’s First
Eleven’ written by Stretty News contributor, Andrew Kirby. Full details
of the book can be found below.
To be in with a chance of winning, all you need to do is send your
name and address, and the answer to this question to Dale at Stretty
News. Information and answers must be sent by email.
Question: United face the Singha All-Star in Thailand, but
which former United favourite and Fergie’s Finest star was previously
manager of the Thailand national football team?
ABOUT THE BOOK
Sir Alex Ferguson was one of the greatest football managers of all time.
In over 26 years in charge of Manchester United, his passion for
winning and tactical flair made them the most successful club in the
Premier League. Under his guidance, United won an eye-watering 38
trophies, including 13 league championships.
But who were the greatest players of the Ferguson era?
Over 185 players debuted for United under Ferguson and more than 200 players wore the red jersey for Fergie.
They included legends of the modern game from David Beckham to Ryan
Giggs, from Roy Keane to Bryan Robson, and from Eric Cantona to
Cristiano Ronaldo.
But which were the Greatest Eleven?
Is Robin Van Persie the greatest striker? Or Ruud Van Nistelrooy?
Was Paul Scholes the best player in the heart of the midfield? Or Bryan Robson?
In this fascinating study, Andrew Kirby selects the ultimate ‘Team Fergie’.
With interviews from football writers and former players, this book
considers the leading contenders for each position in Sir Alex
Ferguson’s First Eleven.
It is the one book every Manchester United fan – and indeed every football supporter – will want to read.
