MEET BEN THORNLEY AND GARY NEVILLE

MEET BEN THORNLEY AND GARY NEVILLE

Ben Thornley will be chatting with fans at forthcoming book signing events in Manchester on Thursday 24 November (at Old Trafford) and Saturday 6 December (at Manchester Central Library, with Gary Neville). 

Who was the standout player when the Class of 92 won the FA Youth Cup? David Beckham? Paul Scholes? Ryan Giggs? Think again. This is the compelling autobiography of a teenager who had the world at his feet only for one tackle to shatter his knee – and his dreams of playing for Manchester United.

This is the Class of 92 as you’ve never heard it before – from a player who was a class apart...

  • Ben’s first-hand account of his time at Manchester United, and particularly as part of the Class of 92
  • An evocative and emotional tale of heartbreaking honesty
  • Features exclusive contributions from well-known staff and players. These include David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Nicky Butt, Robbie Savage, Denis Irwin, Dion Dublin, Bryan Robson and many more
  • In addition to these talking-heads contributions to Ben’s narrative, the story is told in a non-linear chronology – a fresh format for a sports autobiography
