BIRTHDAY - 26 May: Sir Matt Busby (Football)

FOOTBALL - If Sir Matt Busby were alive he would be 102 years old today. Busby became a managing icon at Manchester United, although he  had represented their bitter rivals Manchester City and Liverpool as a player. He forged a great young team in the 1950s, a side affectionately named ‘The Busby Babes’. Tragedy struck in the Munich air disaster, which killed several players and nearly killed Busby himself. Out of the ruins, United rose back to prominence to become the first English side to win the Champions Cup in 1968.
