In 1994, Manchester United goalkeeper Les Sealey sat down to record his memoir.
He'd played a key role in helping Alex Ferguson win his first trophy as United's manager in 1990.
No takers were found for Les' story and the cassette tapes were stored away in a friend's attic. Les died from a heart attack in 2001 at the age of 43.
More than twenty years on, the tapes have been re-discovered and turned into a book called "On Days Like These: The Lost Memoir of a Goalkeeper."
Matt Pintus has been listening through the tapes for Sporting Witness.
