An image of the Imperial Hotel, Manchester, with a flag flying above it declaring it to be the Headquarters of Manchester United F.C. The front of the building features a large banner of Manchester United player Harry Stafford. In December 1904 Stafford and James West were both suspended by the Football Association for making illegal payments. By this time Stafford hadn't played for Manchester United for almost 18 months. He resigned his seat on the board and became proprietor of the Imperial Hotel.
