Thames Books:Theatre of Dreams

Theatre of Dreams
Chris Moore

This is a story of fanaticism, of loyalty to a football club through four decades, from the Munich air disaster of 1958 through twenty-six years of Liverpool-dominated misery when Manchester United never won a league title to the glory of the Double Doubles of the 1990s under the leadership of Alex Ferguson.

Theatre of Dreams is also a story of disappointments, not just because of the poor performances of Chris Moore's team. His parents prevented their talented teenage son from taking up the offer of a trial with Aston Villa, putting education before his dream of a life in professional football. It is the story of a public life and a private life, encompassing victories and tragedies: the tragedy of Hillsborough in football and the countless tragedies, great and small, that were part of the conflict of Northern Ireland.

Covering these events for the print media and later for television, Chris Moore missed matches but never missed the results, and considers his loyalty to Manchester United well rewarded.

Chris Moore is an award-winning journalist with UTV's Counterpoint. He is the author of two bestselling books, Betrayal of Trust: the Brendan Smith Affair and The Catholic Church and The Kincora Scandal. He lives in Belfast.
