| book description |

This updated, family authorised biography of Manchester United heroÂ Jimmy Murphy, new to paperback, celebrates the career of the man who managed theÂ club after the Munich air disaster and took charge of Wales at theÂ 1958 World Cup. Alongside Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson, nobody in the long history ofÂ Manchester United is as important as Jimmy Murphy. As legendary Manchester United manager Busby lay in an oxygen tent in his hospital bed, recovering from the horror of the Munich plane crash, he clutched theÂ friend of his close friend and faithful right-hand-man Murphy. Murphy steppedÂ into Busbyâ€™s shoes and answered Unitedâ€™s call in their hour of need. More thanÂ that, he provided the spark which would see a phoenix spectacularly rise fromÂ the flames. Murphy would be at Busbyâ€™s side as the club famously conquered England andÂ Europe, driven by a new generation of Babes. Murphy would remain Unitedâ€™s assistant manager up to 1971, going on to become a club scout, unearthing andÂ recruiting famous talents like Gordon Hill and Steve Coppell. In his other role asÂ Walesâ€™ football manager, he would mastermind his countryâ€™s appearance in theÂ World Cup finals â€“ taking Wales to the brink of the semi-finals in 1958. The Man Who Kept The Red Flag Flying has been written in full cooperation withÂ Murphyâ€™s family, with unique insight from sons Nick and Jimmy Junior. It features contributions and comments from Sir Alex Ferguson, George Best, TommyÂ Docherty and Ron Atkinson, among many, and rare excerpts from the Daily Mirror and Manchester Evening News archives.Â
