As a homegrown player with a taste for spectacular goals, Clayton Blackmore was a fan favourite for Manchester United long before he secured cult status with his tremendous form in the club's famous 1990/91 season. His clearance off the line in the Cup Winners' Cup Final against Barcelona being just as crucial as his long-range efforts which helped to get United there. After becoming one of the few remaining players from the entertaining sides of the 80s to get his hands on a League winner's medal, Clayton's career was interrupted at its peak by injury before he left with Bryan Robson to lead a revolution up at Middlesbrough, in a controversial spell at the Riverside which included Brazilian superstars and Premier League points deductions. A true legend of Welsh football, Clayton Blackmore's is a unique story of one of the most famous rebuilding periods in football history, packed with anecdotes. Ghost writer Wayne Barton has worked with numerous Manchester United legends and was described by the Independent in 2015 as 'the leading writer' on the club.
Wayne has written numerous books on Manchester United, most recently the acclaimed biography of Jimmy Murphy 'THE MAN WHO KEPT THE RED FLAG FLYING', 'YOU CAN'T WIN ANYTHING WITH KIDS' about the club's 1995/96 Double winning campaign and '74/75' which focussed on United in the Second Division.
