- Nationwide's James Hogg tells the incredible story of how Manchester United, one of the biggest and most successful sporting teams in world sport, were founded. It was all thanks to a cuddly St. Bernard dog (Major), a lonely little girl (Miss Elsie Davies), her doting father (John Henry Davies), an amateur footballer (Harry Stafford) and no small slice of serendipity.
Who says that football clubs being the mere playthings of the rich was a modern phenomenon?
Originally broadcast 18 December 1973.

Brilliant story & clip 🥰❤⚽💯 been a utd fan for 35 years & i love hearing stuff like this Xx
Wow this is awesome I'm English 45 years young but too young to have ever seen this BRILLIANT
Jon Motson alluded to this event on a BBC video from the 80's, (I think it was The History of Match of the Day or something) but never really explained it. This tied that loose end up nicely!
Absolutely incredible!
3:10 pretty much their situation now as well
Best dogs in the world
This guy's hair was from the future. That's the real story.
Manchester united survived from so many difficult conditions. Hoping another historical survival from greedy Glazers in near future.
This is a horrifying story
