Classic Matches, Thanks for providing this very pleasant tribute to Sir Matt, who built a club in ruins to win the European Cup, almost paying with his life along the way. So many in this programme now sadly departed-may God rest them all.🙏
Well I was about 10 and living in Norfolk when the news of the Munich crash came on the radio. We were all shocked of course and Football was just about everything back in those days. My father worked on a farm and every week filled in the Littlewoods coupons hoping to win big. After the Munich crash I became a Man Utd fan and, when in the Royal Navy in 1968, was fortunate to get two tickets to the 1968 European Cup Final at Wembley v Benfica. I went there with a guy named Harry from a shore base called HMS Dryad where the Normandy Landings were planned at Southwick House. Thanks for showing this touching tribute to Sir Matt.
Absolutely amazing. Deserves a wider audience. The Legends on show and Sir Matt front and centre being rightly lauded by them is something that should never be forgotten. Thank you for uploading this. ❤
Ferguson once said he wouldn’t sell Real Madrid a virus maybe he should watch this and realise how good that club was to United in those dark days after Munich
A man above all others. Sir Matt had time for every one from royalties to us the fans.Having met him a few times he was great talking football and being so friendly. In his honour I named my son MATTHEW JAMES after him and the great JIMMY MURPHY .Yes two of the BEST .Along with Sir Alex made UNITED great.Just proud to be a RED.Dave MUSC HIGH PEAK BRANCH.
Back in the days when football rivalries weren't quite as poisionous as they are today. Then again sir matt did play for manchester city before he went into management.
Sir Matt who had already sacked one manager that season (Wilf) and eighteen months later would sack another (Frank) and was almost certainly behind the sacking of the FACup winners manager in 1977 (the doc) so maybe not quite as nice a man as everybody thought read Frank O’ Farrells book for the real story.
The board did aka head of it louis edwards, as for the doc, it was internal and a case of 'sh*t on your own doorstep', The Doc was the biggest liar in the game..
@@shaka7594 you obviously never saw a match when Docs United played some of the Best football I have ever seen as for Doc being a liar Sir Matt tried to cheat O’Farrell out of £2500 a year before he signed his contract like I said read Franks book for the real truth .
Just to see Joe and Matt together is wonderful.

Fergie was a genius at OT. But, there would be no Manchester United without Sir Matt. x

Thank you for sharing, fascinating.
Absolutely wonderful to see this. The great Matt anf Joe Mercer bouncing off each other.
X liverpool center half played over 100 matches then went on to become assisant manager at LFC Before becoming utd manager

And Liverpool
@seangill9870 this is true also . I watched this is your life on Bob Paisley and there was a tribute from Sir Matt
Clearly the era of mass football hooliganism passed you by
And now Jimmy Murphy has a statue, too.
Fantastic. Well deserved
Wow! Thanks for uploading this gem. A Who's Who of footballing legends including Best, Charlton, Di Stefano, Bernabeu, Mercer ...
Do you have the 1958 Episode of Matt Busby?
Thank you very much for uploading this.
Thank you for this. It's wonderful
Sacked his 4 successors. Somebody else did the same.
Wiilf Mcguniness,Frank O'Farrell, Tommy Docherty, Dave Sexton ?
The board did...louis edwards
No united with Sir Matt
Cold to his son
Nope
Suit and tie.. Now managers look like soccer wifes
Do you have Bill Shankly and Bryan Robson's This Is Your Life's
No sorry i dont. I have uploaded the only ones i have!!
franny lee this your life on you tube
Bill Shankly's on TH-cam, Billy Liddell is part of the contributors.
That was the weirdest start to a game I have ever been to.

You don't build title winning sides by being "Nice" and keep a side at the top for 25 years.
Ridiculous to equate running a football club to him not being "nice"
