Incredibly Bacon-Face talks of United’s 6-1 defeat by City as a ‘farce’ and claims - rather bizarrely - that United ‘battered’ City for 40 minutes and says that his wife would not leave home for fear of bumping into City supporters.


Let’s be honest though, there is no way Bacon-Faces book could ever be a truthful or fully accurate account. He couldn’t tell the full story about the racehorse business, and he couldn’t discuss the true reason why such an average side achieved so much. That would entail writing about the bullying tactics, the intimidation of referees and assistants, the grooming of the same through gifts and texts, of using his Sir status to benefit that shower of a club, and the capitulation of the FA towards him particularly with discipline issues, etc, etc.
