The football world mourned the loss of Sir Matt Busby, on this day in 1994.
The man who created one of the most exciting sides ever seen, his famous Babes, only for the Munich Air Disaster in 1958 to tragically shatter the hopes and dreams of that incredible bunch of young footballers.
Busby fought for his life in Germany and recovered, somehow summoning up the strength to rebuild at United, ensuring the Reds became the first English side to win the European Cup, his holy grail, a decade later.
He continued his association with the Reds and looked on proudly from the stands when Alex Ferguson's team ended the long wait for the title in 1993.
