Trending
Sir Matt Busby had a dream for Manchester United to be crowned as European Champions. Filled with guilt after defying the FA and challenging the calendar with his desire, the Munich air disaster was a consequence that he blamed himself for. With a provoking thought of resigning as manager, Busby instead decided to not let the deaths of his babes go in vain as he rebuilt a team in 10 years to complete his dream on the aluminium anniversary of the tragedy.
By rediscovering his will power and intensity, Busby helped Manchester United win the European Championship for the first time, by any English club. After beating Real Madrid in the semi-final, Bobby Charlton scored two goals and George Best was at his sublime best as Manchester United thrashed Benfica 4-1 at Wembley to win the prestigious trophy.
