7. Story:
By 1901 Newton Heath LYR Football Club incurred great amount of
debt and was ordered to shut down. The club staged a four-day
grand bazaar at St. James Hall, Oxford Street to avoid bankruptcy.
The club needed to raise £1,000 in 4 days. But due to lack of interest
by the end of the third day it seemed that the venture would prove
unsuccessful.
The 4th day Harry Stafford ,Newton Heath's captain, had the idea of
using his St. Bernard dog, Major, to raise money. He wandered
amiably between the stalls with a collection box strapped to his back.
It was hoped that the dog would attract donations. On the fourth day
of the grand bazaar Major escaped from St. James Hall. He eventually
found his way to the home of John Henry Davies . John Henry Davies
liked the animal and decided to buy the dog for his daughter. When
he traced the dog's owner, Harry Stafford told John Henry Davies
about the financial position of Newton Heath. The two men became
friends and decided to make a takeover bid for the club.
In 1902,he bought the club and renamed to Manchester United and
the rest is history.
