Bill Stephenson was given an access-all-areas pass to document United's successful 89/90 campaign. Now, for the first time, this photo record has been put together in book form
My Mum worked at Bramall Lane whilst the BBC film crew were there. She died last year and when we were going through all her papers we found a lovely letter from one of the production team saying how grateful she was for all mums help during the time they were there.
Lovely memories.
We actually went on the coach to Bradford, which included Sean Bean , his wife at the time Melanie Hill and the BBC crew. Great times.
Thanks, David – a great showcase of what promises to be a really worthwhile book.
“All these photo documentaries are always concerned with recording the society that we live in today, or at a point in time. As time goes by, pictures like these become historic records.”
Absolutely.
What a great honour for Mr Stephenson to have been able to chronicle that year – from players’, manager’s and fans’ perspectives.
(And a few chilling pre-Hillsborough photographs of being behind bars, too! Amazing to think that was the norm then . . .)

So sorry about your mum, Hazel - what a touching letter to find

Great to hear from Bill. Really loved looking at these photographs in Lower Block.
