Tales From The Cliff
Once the pulsating heart of Manchester United Football Club, ’The talent factory’ at The Cliff holds an indelible place in the club’s storied history. It was within these hallowed grounds that the Busby Babes were sculpted, and the Class of ’92 honed their skills, leaving an everlasting impact on the beautiful game. Join us as we uncover the untold stories from the headquarters where magic was not just a concept but a daily reality. In this podcast, we’ll be diving deep into the memories and experiences of those who lived and breathed football at The Cliff, exploring the dreams that were not only forged but, at times, heartbreakingly shattered.

In our debut episode we speak to former player Alan Tonge who was offered a scholarship at Manchester United a couple of months into Alex Ferguson’s time at the club.
He was spotted by a Manchester United scout playing for the County side when he was 14 years old and subsequently invited for trials. After a successful trial, he was offered schoolboy forms and an apprenticeship, and he signed a one-year professional contract. He played for Manchester United reserves and made a couple of first team appearances.
