Major is the name of a dog belonging to the family of US President Joe Biden. But, more than 100 years ago, there was another dog, also named Major, who was very famous in the city of Manchester.
It was March 1901. There was a charity bazaar, or something like it, to raise money. About £1,000 was needed to save the Newton Heath Football Club in Manchester from bankruptcy. The bazaar ran for five days, and by the end of the day there was no hope of ever reaching the £1,000 mark.
Worse still. Apparently, the cost of reorganizing was greater than the revenue. And worst of all, because everyone was so busy, no one cared where Major – a St Bernard dog, considered the symbol of the whole group – had gone!
Major was the pet of Harry Stafford – the full-back who wore the captain's armband and was also considered the most dedicated member to the survival of Newton Heath at that time.
Founded in 1878, Newton Heath entered the English national championship from an early age, and were relegated for the first time in 1894. Good players left one by one. Newton Heath tried and tried, but they could not get promoted again. The deficit gradually increased. By 1901, the debt had reached £2,670 and there seemed no hope of financial recovery. Players were no longer paid. Instead, they received a percentage of ticket sales.
Captain Stafford turned to everything to raise funds for the club. There was even… begging. Stafford’s dog Major would run around the pitch with a tin can around his neck, asking anyone concerned about the club’s uncertain future to contribute a small amount of money. In the end, it didn’t bring in much.
The charity bazaar mentioned above was the last resort. And, as mentioned, it closed in utter disappointment. When one door closes, as they say, another opens?
Major the dog wandered into a restaurant, and immediately caught the eye of John Henry Davies – a wealthy businessman, with an entire kingdom of beer under his control. Davies loved the dog. His daughter loved it too. So much so that he tried to buy it at all costs.
And Davies easily found the dog's owner - captain and defender Stafford, if you will, butClubNewton Heath is fine. After all, Major the dog is considered a symbol of theclublong time ago
People can sell anything, but who sells symbols? And how much is enough? It sounds strange, but it's true: businessman Davies would rather raise the issue of buying back the whole thing.clubfootball – including players, from Stafford down, and Major the dog among them – sounds logical.
The story happened more than a century ago, and the source is apocryphal. Depending on which source you look at, the brewery boss placed an advertisement in the Manchester Evening News to contact the owner of “a stray dog on such and such a day and time”, or, more intriguingly, it was Major who led the businessman Davies to the Stafford captain – as fate would have it.
Likewise, Stafford refused to sell his beloved dog, but in the end sacrificed his own pleasure to save the team, because selling the dog would be the only hope of convincing the rich man to spend money to save the team.club. Or Stafford cleverly came up with the scenario of “not selling dogs, but sellingclubIs it okay to include the dog as an asset?
There is also documentation, ignoring all the sensational aspects, recording that captain Stafford made an effort to find four benefactors, who together donated money to help Newton Heath overcome the risk of bankruptcy in 1901, and the end of that story was that Davies became chairman.club.
It is a well-known fact that the club's history has turned a new page since the arrival of John Henry Davies. He changed the nameclubbecame Manchester United, changed the color of the kit, moved to Old Trafford (in 1910)... With the money injected by Davies, Manchester United quickly improved its squad, hired good coaches, rose to the highest level, and by 1908 won the national championship for the first time.
