      The word legend is thrown around all too readily these days, but there can be no doubt that the Manchester United players featured in this book are the very best to have ever graced a football pitch. They are true legends of the club and the game. Spanning the decades and covering all the Manchester United's most iconic eras, we uncover the fascinating stories and incredible accomplishments of the club's greatest soccer players from Bobby Charlton and George Best to Eric Cantona Roy Keane and Ronaldo. It's not just about great players, though. Without great managers there would be no great players, legendary teams or memorable matchups. That's why we also run down the ten most successful managers from Manchester United history, look back at the ten greatest championship winning teams and relive ten of the best games of all time.

      This is the incredible illustrated story of the Bee Gees, the band that Barry, Maurice and Robin, the brothers Gibb, formed in 1958. The trio were especially successful as a popular music act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and later as prominent performers of the disco music era in the mid-to-late1970s with the soundtrack album 'Saturday Night Fever'. The group sang recognisable three-part tight harmonies; Robin's clear vibrato lead vocals was the hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the mid-to-late 1970s and 1980s. The Bee Gees have sold over 120 million records worldwide making them one of the world's best-selling artists of all time. The boys also wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. The Bee Gees' Hall of Fame citation says, "Only Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks and Paul McCartney have out sold the Bee Gees." Following Maurice's death in January 2003 at the age of 53, Barry and Robin retired the group's name after 45 years of activity.
