Interests are Manchester United and Northern Soul. I have run the United Collectors Club since 1990 and have written over two dozen books, mainly on United.

The booklet is produced as a thank you to the crematorium for their help with the installation of Roger Byrne Memorial Plaque.

[Iain McCartney @iainmccartney]

This is a thirty-six page booklet which covers in detail, the burial place or cremation details of everyone who was involved in the Munich Air Disaster. Copies are £5 each and can only be obtained from Manchester Crematorium with all money going to charity.

@bobsutton11 Did it last year Bob. Had only missed two weekend home games in 36 years, but had lost the enjoyment factor. Miss the friends, but not the football. This is the first season since I first went in the late sixties that I have not been to a game.

@bjornfr Thank you. A labour of love.

[Iain McCartney @iainmccartney]

Since 1958 there has been no memorial for Roger Byrne, captain of the Busby Babes, however, there is now as yesterday I unveiled one in his honour at Manchester Crematorium.

@r_m_clark Just seen your message and have followed you. Regards

@simpsosh It is utter dross.

[Iain McCartney @iainmccartney]

@samuelluckhurst None of the three should be anywhere near the club, near mind the starting eleven.

[Iain McCartney @iainmccartney]

@barneyrednews Knew they would score at some point. Still don’t think the manager is the right guy and I am not just saying that on the back of tonight’s result and his stupid substitutions.

[Iain McCartney @iainmccartney]

@notleebaker He played with Newton Heath Loco and Goslings prior to United, so that was how he managed to play on the old grounds.

[Iain McCartney @iainmccartney]

@barneyrednews A real wake up call. I think it showed how much work has still to be done. Bench has been very lightweight for so long and today the substitutions made no difference, probably made things worse. Still a long long way to go.

[Iain McCartney @iainmccartney]

@paulenglish1961 I had some Paul, but think I sold them. If I had known you were interested..... Will have a look and see if I have anymore. Thinking about it, I have one from the 48 Final.

[Iain McCartney @iainmccartney]

@NotInSeddon Hope you found it an interesting read Phil. Thanks for the post. Appreciated.

@RoyMBE @markfoz1966 @WayneSBarton Imagine that they have been unused ones lying about at the publisher and trying to get rid before they are worthless.

[Iain McCartney @iainmccartney]

@RoyMBE @YesterdaysStars @mufcinfodotcom @markmetcalf07 Back in the day, directors often picked the team, with the ‘secretary’ doing the everyday things. Mangnall embraced both and can be considered as being the club’s first real manager in that sense of the word.

[Iain McCartney @iainmccartney]

@RoyMBE @YesterdaysStars @mufcinfodotcom @markmetcalf07 Mangnall is undoubtedly United’s third greatest manager behind Busby and SAF. He laid the template for the future, winning the first honours,plus being heavily involved in the construction of Old Trafford.

@MichaelLCrick Hope you enjoy it Michael.
