UTD Unscripted: My farewell to Sir Matt

Related Topics: Old Trafford, Matt Busby

There used to be buses every week in the 1960s just to go to queue at Old Trafford for tickets. I was there every week because I just loved watching the football they played. Under Sir Matt Busby, the team was great. It was always so exciting to watch. You don’t necessarily appreciate it for its full worth when you’re a kid, but when you look back now, you realise how lucky you were to see the players who were playing then and the way they played.

Sir Matt was a huge figure in Manchester. He was known as a nice guy and everyone seemed to have a story of meeting him and finding him to be such a pleasant, humble person.
