A special offer on ALL CHANGE AT OLD TRAFFORD, the forthcoming autobiography of former Manchester United manager Frank O'Farrell, is available from this website. The book, due out during October, will retail for £12.99 but it can be purchased from this site for just £10.99, including postage and packing. O'Farrell grew up in Cork wanting to follow in his father's footsteps and become a steam train driver. Instead he was snapped up by West Ham United and later played for Preston North End. He then managed with great success at Weymouth (player-manager for a spell), Torquay United and Leicester City before being appointed manager of Manchester United in the summer of 1971. He was told by Matt Busby he had "five years" to sort things out at Old Trafford, and by December in his first season United topped the Division One table by five points. But the 1972-73 season started badly and O'Farrell was sacked just 18 months into his reign, and replaced by Tommy Docherty. He then managed Cardiff briefly before taking over as boss of the Iranian national team, and leading them to victory in the 1974 Asian games. O'Farrell later returned to Torquay, where he now lives in retirement at the age of 83.
