a rare place in our hearts,

You're the most famous man
in soccer in this country

and indeed, I suppose, in the world.

9
00:00:47,556 --> 00:00:50,870
You were more than a manager there.
You were the boss, weren't you, really?

- Well, er...
- Come on.

11

there was any part of it

15
00:01:04,031 --> 00:01:05,869
that caused you to sacrifice,

16
00:01:05,909 --> 00:01:08,696
and when you look back, do you think,
"Well, it really wasn't worth it"?

17
00:01:08,744 --> 00:01:10,030
Oh, yes.

If we were trailing 2-0,

21
00:01:35,104 --> 00:01:37,641

that we'd win 3-2.

Matt Busby is without doubt

29
00:01:53,211 --> 00:01:54,682
the greatest manager who ever lived.

at Old Trafford.

The door would always be open.

35
00:02:04,967 --> 00:02:06,378
I look back now and think,

36
00:02:06,468 --> 00:02:09,426
"We should have gone in more and talked
to him more." But you were scared.

37
00:02:09,513 --> 00:02:11,504
This was like a god.

38

(MATT BUSBY)
My mind goes back over the years,

39
00:02:27,948 --> 00:02:32,237
to the day of my birth
in a small village in Scotland.

40
00:02:33,454 --> 00:02:35,695
I was born in a Pitman's Cottage.

41
00:02:38,208 --> 00:02:40,290
It was a small mining village,

42
00:02:40,419 --> 00:02:41,888
nothing else but mines.

43
00:02:42,015 --> 00:02:43,879
The people themselves

44
00:02:44,131 --> 00:02:49,342
were brought up
in a faith which was football.

45
00:02:49,602 --> 00:02:52,090
Nothing else ever seemed to take place.

46
00:02:52,181 --> 00:02:55,789
Nobody else seemed to talk about
anything else other than football.

47
00:02:55,929 --> 00:02:58,008
- (INTERVIEWER) Was your father a miner?
- He was, yes.

48
00:02:58,075 --> 00:02:59,648
(INTERVIEWER) Was he also a footballer?

49
00:02:59,721 --> 00:03:03,932
Yes, he played in a local junior team

50
00:03:04,860 --> 00:03:07,708
and I understand had a lot of ability.

51
00:03:07,861 --> 00:03:10,197
But the war came on, of course.

52
00:03:14,536 --> 00:03:17,244
Then my father was killed
in the First World War.

53
00:03:18,105 --> 00:03:20,091
I scarcely remember him.

54
00:03:21,793 --> 00:03:25,661
I was the oldest of four.
There were three girls below me.

55
00:03:25,797 --> 00:03:29,415
And my mother,
a very young age, she was.

56
00:03:29,510 --> 00:03:32,093
She had a tremendous influence
on my life

57
00:03:32,165 --> 00:03:34,408
and of course the rest of the family's.

58
00:03:34,615 --> 00:03:37,836
She was a real Scotch type of mother,

59
00:03:38,143 --> 00:03:40,976
who put her foot down at the right time,

60
00:03:41,007 --> 00:03:46,798
and she brought us up with an idea
of having some common sense

61
00:03:46,860 --> 00:03:49,602
and trying to be a citizen.

62
00:03:49,696 --> 00:03:53,832

If you're speaking about Matt Busby
and what he was like,

65
00:04:09,724 --> 00:04:13,237
Busby, like any man of his age,
was a product of his time.

66
00:04:13,349 --> 00:04:17,366
(MATT BUSBY) There was quite a lot
of depression in Lanarkshire

67
00:04:17,564 --> 00:04:19,892
with the coal mines
and that type of thing.

68
00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:22,512
I'd been taken away from school.

69
00:04:24,337 --> 00:04:25,528
Before I knew where I was,

70
00:04:25,582 --> 00:04:29,115
I'd gone working in the mines
to try and earn a few

71
00:04:29,267 --> 00:04:32,247
shillings, a few pounds,
to help at home.

72
00:04:32,301 --> 00:04:34,696
The poverty that was in Britain
was shocking.

73
00:04:34,912 --> 00:04:36,649
You were brought up in a mining village

74
00:04:36,743 --> 00:04:39,481
who were never thought of
by governments as anything.

75
00:04:39,594 --> 00:04:42,947
We had tough upbringings
to etch out a living in.

76
00:04:43,341 --> 00:04:44,405
When you think of back then,

77
00:04:44,430 --> 00:04:47,593
the working class
were getting paid a pittance.

78
00:04:47,679 --> 00:04:51,263
Miners were treated like shit,
for use of a better word.

79
00:04:51,308 --> 00:04:52,548
They were treated like slaves.

For working-class people everywhere,

81
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,611

a little football again.

I knew I was trying to better myself

100
00:05:52,269 --> 00:05:57,639
but the place was strange and for
a time, I wasn't too happy about it.

101

I had a form of a complex at the time.

"Well, I feel as though
I'm getting nowhere here."

Yet I couldn't think of leaving

Even though he had
no management experience at all.

of what he wanted.

The sense of cooperation,
working together,

158
00:09:12,427 --> 00:09:15,169
that is a form of socialism in action.

159
00:09:15,263 --> 00:09:18,801
That flows
from his working-class background.

What kind of quality is it
that you look for

170
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:47,693
in a footballer
that will go into your side?

171
00:09:49,422 --> 00:09:51,360
First of all, I look for ability.

172
00:09:51,591 --> 00:09:53,582
That is essential. Natural ability.

173
00:09:53,676 --> 00:09:55,720
I see natural ability...

174
00:09:56,262 --> 00:09:59,254
I like to see people that can play,

175

look at a field
and determine what he's going to do.

180

I love to see a player
playing with heart.

181
00:10:17,113 --> 00:10:20,902

to be of a kind.

as to what a manager should do,

and he said

with the juniors?"

It was a very grey area.

334
00:18:51,645 --> 00:18:54,998
Women didn't wear
bright red or green dresses.

335
00:18:55,092 --> 00:18:57,208
You know, everything seemed quite grey.

336
00:18:57,303 --> 00:19:00,512
And the football colours,
when you saw a football team,

337
00:19:00,598 --> 00:19:03,681
you know, you can imagine
seeing Man United in their red,

338
00:19:03,768 --> 00:19:04,849
that was colour!

339
00:19:04,935 --> 00:19:07,393
(REPORTER) As King Football
kicks off to another great year,

340
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,973
millions thrill to the nation's
favourite Saturday afternoon sport.

341
00:19:11,067 --> 00:19:13,729
Into the limelight again
come the stars of the game.

342
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:17,528
A lot of people
talk about United being super rich,

343
00:19:17,615 --> 00:19:20,357
but they weren't.
United were very, very poor.

344
00:19:20,785 --> 00:19:24,653
And they knew that they had
a very, very ageing group of players.

345
00:19:24,747 --> 00:19:28,581
So they both determined
to start inventing their own.

346
00:19:28,959 --> 00:19:32,293
Busby himself was
a great believer in youth.

347
00:19:32,380 --> 00:19:35,338
He knew that if you brought people in
when they were teenagers,

348
00:19:35,424 --> 00:19:37,415
you became their father,
and you could mould them

349
00:19:37,468 --> 00:19:39,800
to your way of thinking,
to your way of playing.

350
00:19:39,887 --> 00:19:41,964
And of course, you didn't need
to pay them so much.

351
00:19:42,211 --> 00:19:44,222
You could pay them less
than the maximum wage.

352
00:19:44,308 --> 00:19:47,517
If you did it right, the style of play
that would come through the B team

353
00:19:47,603 --> 00:19:51,221
and the A team and the reserve team,
it would all dove-tail together.

354
00:19:51,857 --> 00:19:53,139
(MATT BUSBY) I believed in youth.

355
00:19:53,232 --> 00:19:56,190
I wanted them to mature
and develop with the club.

356
00:19:56,821 --> 00:20:00,064
A year after I came here,
I brought Jimmy Murphy.

357
00:20:00,157 --> 00:20:03,991
I'm quite sure this was
one of the best signings I made.

358
00:20:05,246 --> 00:20:08,455
(JOHN ASTON JR) Busby was like the
pipe-smoking thinker in team meetings.

359
00:20:08,541 --> 00:20:10,479
If you asked him anything
he would give it

360
00:20:10,589 --> 00:20:12,730
a little bit of thought
before he answered,

361
00:20:13,088 --> 00:20:14,143
whereas Jimmy,

362
00:20:14,213 --> 00:20:16,625
he was a bit more
like a Chicago gangster.

363
00:20:16,716 --> 00:20:19,188
He used to smoke and smoke and smoke

364
00:20:19,355 --> 00:20:21,425
and he'd say,
"Don't be so bloody stupid!"

365
00:20:21,512 --> 00:20:23,128
or, "Yeah, that's a good idea!" You know,

366
00:20:23,180 --> 00:20:25,717
You'd get the instant... instant riposte.

367
00:20:25,808 --> 00:20:29,392
Like all good double acts,
they were a good foil for each other.

368
00:20:29,645 --> 00:20:33,058
(MATT BUSBY)
Very solid, he had ideas.

369
00:20:33,274 --> 00:20:35,561
And I wanted someone to look after
youngsters at the time.

370
00:20:35,651 --> 00:20:37,062
Really, my right arm.

371
00:20:37,695 --> 00:20:40,278
(JOHN ASTON JR) What they were
trying to build, Busby and Murphy,

372
00:20:40,364 --> 00:20:43,546
was not just the best team
but the club itself.

373
00:20:43,646 --> 00:20:45,637
The best club in the world.

374
00:20:45,911 --> 00:20:50,075
(MATT BUSBY) I think this started
when I was at Manchester City

375
00:20:50,166 --> 00:20:51,998
as a boy, 17 year old.

376
00:20:53,929 --> 00:20:57,638
I felt there was myself
and probably two or three more

377
00:20:58,549 --> 00:21:01,552
were more involved
with the club.

378
00:21:01,998 --> 00:21:03,409
We felt for the club.

379
00:21:04,180 --> 00:21:07,969
And I always had this
in the back of my mind,

380
00:21:08,058 --> 00:21:11,228
to tell them they're coming to a club
who would look after them.

381
00:21:11,395 --> 00:21:14,604
And from there, obviously,
you try to build up.

382
00:21:14,690 --> 00:21:16,897
But for a club,
they're gonna play football,

383
00:21:16,942 --> 00:21:19,024
they've got a good opportunity
of playing it here.

384
00:21:21,238 --> 00:21:24,276
And the whole thing is trying to make
the boys happy and enjoy themselves

385
00:21:24,366 --> 00:21:26,792
before they actually get signed on.

386
00:21:27,745 --> 00:21:31,238
He knew that what happens
in the dressing room

387
00:21:31,332 --> 00:21:34,324
will reflect itself on the pitch.

388
00:21:35,823 --> 00:21:40,158
He saw as a player
how older professionals

389
00:21:40,332 --> 00:21:45,210
who'd had bad experiences
became bitter.

390
00:21:45,679 --> 00:21:47,420
They didn't train properly.

391
00:21:48,182 --> 00:21:51,049
They were corrupted.

392
00:21:53,113 --> 00:21:55,403
So there would be, in his club

393
00:21:55,988 --> 00:21:58,000
nobody who was damaged,

394
00:21:58,150 --> 00:22:01,484
nobody who was cynical, no rebels,

395
00:22:02,530 --> 00:22:04,445
nobody whispering

396
00:22:04,759 --> 00:22:06,764
behind the management's back.

397
00:22:08,118 --> 00:22:10,979
(REPORTER) The first question, Matt,
is how do you find these boys?

398
00:22:11,390 --> 00:22:13,992
Well, I'd say, Bill,
I have a scouting system

399
00:22:14,083 --> 00:22:18,097
whose sole object is to go out
looking for young promising schoolboys,

400
00:22:18,295 --> 00:22:21,333
youth club boys,
and indeed any young players

401
00:22:21,423 --> 00:22:24,131
who have the necessary natural ability

402
00:22:24,301 --> 00:22:26,918
to make a future
Manchester United player.

403
00:22:27,805 --> 00:22:30,843
He would do anything to get
a young player he wanted.

404
00:22:30,933 --> 00:22:33,800
If it was Duncan Edwards,
they'd pay the parents

405
00:22:33,894 --> 00:22:35,885
which was illegal at the time.

406
00:22:35,980 --> 00:22:37,596
If it was someone in Ireland,

407
00:22:37,690 --> 00:22:39,226
he'd come himself to Dublin.

408
00:22:39,817 --> 00:22:41,558
(REPORTER)
Ex-England captain Joe Mercer.

409
00:22:41,652 --> 00:22:44,770
He believes in catching 'em young
so that ball control becomes instinctive.

410
00:22:44,864 --> 00:22:46,730
(MATT BUSBY) One day,
I was talking with Joe Mercer.

411
00:22:46,782 --> 00:22:48,995
He had taken these schoolboys on,

412
00:22:49,129 --> 00:22:50,745
doing a bit of coaching with them.

413
00:22:51,328 --> 00:22:55,492
I said, "Joe, we're after a boy..."
I can't remember the name of the boy.

414
00:22:55,541 --> 00:22:59,250
And Joe suddenly says to me,
"The most outstanding player of them all

415
00:22:59,336 --> 00:23:00,622
is Duncan Edwards."

416
00:23:01,505 --> 00:23:05,169
And he says, "What's more,"
he says, "he's Manchester United mad."

417
00:23:07,344 --> 00:23:10,382
(KEN RAMSDEN) Every club in England
wanted to Sign Duncan Edwards.

418
00:23:10,806 --> 00:23:12,046
Busby'd got him.

419
00:23:12,141 --> 00:23:14,534
Duncan Edwards in Dudley
was brought out of bed

420
00:23:14,685 --> 00:23:16,221
during the night to sign a contract

421
00:23:16,270 --> 00:23:19,388
because Mr Busby was frightened
of losing him to Wolves.

422
00:23:19,607 --> 00:23:20,972
I'm an Edwards fanatic.

423
00:23:21,066 --> 00:23:24,309
He was the most complete footballer
I've ever, ever seen.

424
00:23:24,820 --> 00:23:27,357
He had strength, power in both feet.

425
00:23:27,907 --> 00:23:31,650
Hit 40 and 50 yard balls
with consummate ease.

426
00:23:31,744 --> 00:23:33,735
(MATT BUSBY)
Edwards was incomparable.

427
00:23:33,829 --> 00:23:36,366
We used to try and find faults
with all our kids, you know.

428
00:23:36,457 --> 00:23:38,448
I could never find a weakness there.

429
00:23:39,126 --> 00:23:40,457
(JIMMY MURPHY)
Colman, Eddie Colman.

430
00:23:40,502 --> 00:23:43,039
He only weighed about nine stone
wet through, little Eddie.

431
00:23:43,255 --> 00:23:44,620
Tremendous player.

432
00:23:47,509 --> 00:23:49,139
(WILF MCGUINNESS)
He was a cheeky chappy.

433
00:23:49,419 --> 00:23:52,132
You know, he always had an answer
to everything.

434
00:23:52,181 --> 00:23:54,172
And he was a great puller of women.

435
00:23:54,266 --> 00:23:55,552
(LAUGHS)

436
00:23:55,643 --> 00:23:57,384
(EAMON DUNPHY)
I was captain of England Schoolboys

437
00:23:57,436 --> 00:24:01,646
so a lot of clubs were chasing me
when I was 15.

438
00:24:02,399 --> 00:24:06,927
So I decided on United
because of their great youth policy.

439
00:24:07,780 --> 00:24:10,192
I was first starting to play football

440
00:24:10,282 --> 00:24:14,196
and of course, every young player wants
to improve and wants to be better.

441
00:24:14,370 --> 00:24:17,738
People used to tell me that Newcastle
didn't have a good coaching system.

442
00:24:20,167 --> 00:24:22,158
It really was a hard place to live
in those days.

443
00:24:22,252 --> 00:24:25,397
If you didn't work in the mines
or the shipyards, you know,

444
00:24:25,569 --> 00:24:27,590
there wasn't really that much
that you could work at.

445
00:24:27,729 --> 00:24:31,317
So if there was any opportunity,
you know, you went, you travelled.

446
00:24:31,553 --> 00:24:33,385
Busby was very, very clever.

447
00:24:33,472 --> 00:24:36,009
You could only try and sign
two schoolboys.

448
00:24:36,100 --> 00:24:40,139
He signed the players, the best in England,
Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

449
00:24:40,813 --> 00:24:42,224
But his trick was,

450
00:24:42,314 --> 00:24:44,897
sign the young players
and put them on the ground staff.

451
00:24:45,526 --> 00:24:47,767
You could have 11 on the ground staff.

452
00:24:48,028 --> 00:24:50,770
(JEFF WHITEFOOT)
I did actually go at 15 and a half

453
00:24:51,615 --> 00:24:54,198
to work for Manchester United
in the office.

454
00:24:54,284 --> 00:24:56,446
(MATT BUSBY)
They came, we nurtured them,

455
00:24:56,537 --> 00:24:59,120
we watched them, we looked after them,
they were coached.

456
00:24:59,206 --> 00:25:02,369
(KEN RAMSDEN) Great care was taken
at the digs they were put in.

457
00:25:02,459 --> 00:25:05,654
The landladies were watching
what went on.

458
00:25:05,740 --> 00:25:07,120
People would tell him.

459
00:25:07,214 --> 00:25:10,707
Fans would say, "I saw such-a-body
out late last night," or whatever.

460
00:25:10,801 --> 00:25:13,213
And if he needed to tell you off,

461
00:25:13,929 --> 00:25:18,093
he'd say, "I want you in my office
tomorrow morning at such a time."

462
00:25:18,517 --> 00:25:20,758
So you'd think, "Oh, blimey."

463
00:25:20,853 --> 00:25:24,312
And you'd spend all day and night
worried about it.

464
00:25:24,773 --> 00:25:28,289
"Good manners.
Don't insult people.

465
00:25:28,314 --> 00:25:30,146
"You're doing this,
you're doing that."

466
00:25:30,242 --> 00:25:32,752
And he did guide us.

467
00:25:32,945 --> 00:25:35,277
He was just like a father to us.

468
00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:38,359
(MATT BUSBY) We were sort of
all together type of thing.

469
00:25:38,454 --> 00:25:41,446
You become a sort of family,
it was a family.

470
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,868
The youth team, Jimmy Murphy
always used to say, was the cream.

471
00:25:46,003 --> 00:25:49,374
Forget about the first team
and the FA Cups and all that.

472
00:25:49,467 --> 00:25:51,302
This was the most important thing.

473
00:25:51,393 --> 00:25:55,603
I can remember, I wouldn't go to bed
the night before a youth match

474
00:25:55,763 --> 00:26:00,098
because I'd been brainwashed,
indoctrinated into thinking

475
00:26:00,184 --> 00:26:03,607
that this was the most important match
that you ever played in your whole life.

476
00:26:03,896 --> 00:26:05,978
We won the Youth Cup
every year I played.

477
00:26:06,190 --> 00:26:09,603
First five years of its existence
was won by Manchester United.

478
00:26:11,570 --> 00:26:13,857
If you'd care to come and look
at the boys, you're welcome.

479
00:26:13,947 --> 00:26:14,903
Thank you very much.

480
00:26:16,575 --> 00:26:18,612
Let me see Johnny Berry
take a short corner

481
00:26:18,660 --> 00:26:20,526
which we use very often in the game.

482
00:26:20,621 --> 00:26:23,238
He passes it on to Bill Whelan
who in turn turns it back.

483
00:26:23,332 --> 00:26:25,699
(JOURNALIST) Well, obviously they can't
all play in the first team

484
00:26:25,799 --> 00:26:27,897
but how do you keep them happy
in the second team?

485
00:26:28,091 --> 00:26:32,296
Well, of course, Bill, we have
no first team players at Old Trafford.

486
00:26:32,341 --> 00:26:34,548
They are all possible first team players.

487
00:26:36,512 --> 00:26:38,799
(MATT BUSBY)
We'd had success at that time.

488
00:26:38,889 --> 00:26:40,103
I felt as though

489
00:26:40,328 --> 00:26:43,972
I had to do something to
get young players going.

490
00:26:44,144 --> 00:26:47,232
(REPORTER) Runners-up four times,
then League champions in '52.

491
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,430
And then Matt Busby brought on the Babes

492
00:26:49,531 --> 00:26:51,986
replacing eight
of that championship side

493
00:26:52,118 --> 00:26:53,984
in one fell swoop.

494
00:26:55,293 --> 00:26:57,584
When I was just turned 16,

495
00:26:57,659 --> 00:26:59,673
I was playing for Manchester
United's first team.

496
00:26:59,701 --> 00:27:03,114
(LAUGHS)
Which was quite extraordinary.

497
00:27:04,706 --> 00:27:08,916
(EAMON DUNPHY) Well, I got my debut
as a 17-year-old, you know,

498
00:27:09,253 --> 00:27:11,801
which was to me very special.

499
00:27:12,037 --> 00:27:17,300
And then I found out every other player
at 17 had got promoted

500
00:27:17,386 --> 00:27:18,922
to the first team.

501
00:27:19,054 --> 00:27:22,297
(JIMMY MURPHY JR) Wilf was a good player
but not in the same class as Bobby.

502
00:27:22,391 --> 00:27:24,978
But he made his debut
about nine months before

503
00:27:25,132 --> 00:27:26,829
because my father kept Bobby back

504
00:27:27,059 --> 00:27:29,105
'cos he didn't think
Bobby was tough enough.

505
00:27:29,439 --> 00:27:33,252
My father would have him running around
like an idiot to get out of breath.

506
00:27:33,443 --> 00:27:36,902
All the players used to say, "Until
you actually play in the first division

507
00:27:37,030 --> 00:27:40,614
you don't realise how much you push
yourself through pain barriers,"

508
00:27:40,701 --> 00:27:42,612
which you never do
in reserve team games.

509
00:27:42,870 --> 00:27:44,907
Bobby would say, "I'm knackered, I'm tired."

510
00:27:44,997 --> 00:27:48,857
And my father would say, "Well, you're
not gonna die. Get running again."

511
00:27:48,997 --> 00:27:52,251
My right ankle was swollen up.
It was quite painful.

512
00:27:52,337 --> 00:27:55,375
And I hadn't played in the reserves
for a few weeks.

513
00:27:55,465 --> 00:27:57,251
And he called me up to his room
and said,

514
00:27:57,301 --> 00:27:59,338
"I'm playing you
in the first team tomorrow."

515
00:27:59,428 --> 00:28:02,386
If there's one time I didn't really
want to play, it was that day.

516
00:28:02,472 --> 00:28:04,509
But he said, "Are you all right?
Is your foot all right?"

517
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,136
I said, "Yeah, it's all right."

518
00:28:06,476 --> 00:28:10,094
And suddenly the attention of the whole
country was on Manchester United

519
00:28:10,189 --> 00:28:13,056
because they're playing babies, y'know,
they can't possibly win anything.

520

Luck has a lot to do with it.

Like all good teams,
there was just the right blend.

539
00:29:04,159 --> 00:29:06,821
And every great side have always had this.

540
00:29:06,912 --> 00:29:12,498
(WILF MCGUINNESS) Roger was the captain
so he was a bit above us. (LAUGHS)

541
00:29:14,795 --> 00:29:17,628
(WILF MCGUINNESS) David Pegg,
a Yorkshire lad, did his business.

542
00:29:17,714 --> 00:29:19,500
He was a good dribbler.

543
00:29:20,801 --> 00:29:25,054
He surprised us actually because
we thought, "Yorkshire? Who are they?"

544
00:29:25,168 --> 00:29:26,608
But he was special.

545
00:29:26,661 --> 00:29:28,513
I think he dated me wife.

546
00:29:29,017 --> 00:29:30,742
Before she was me wife! (LAUGHS)

547
00:29:33,605 --> 00:29:36,438
Mr Busby, he wasn't frightened
of spending money.

548
00:29:37,276 --> 00:29:39,438
But he only spent it when he had to.

549
00:29:39,945 --> 00:29:42,733
He paid £30,000 for Tommy Taylor
from Barnsley.

550
00:29:42,781 --> 00:29:44,522
(WILF MCGUINNESS) It was a record fee.

551
00:29:44,741 --> 00:29:46,982
So he had to live with that
round his shoulders.

552
00:29:47,134 --> 00:29:51,002
If he had a bad 'un, we'd say,
"You paid for him?" Y'know! (LAUGHS)

553
00:29:51,456 --> 00:29:54,317
A great, great centre-forward.

554
00:29:54,501 --> 00:29:56,117
We all felt

555
00:29:56,503 --> 00:30:00,322
that we were lucky
to be a Manchester United player.

556
00:30:00,549 --> 00:30:03,007
And let's not kick it into touch,

557

let's go about it and do it for him.

Trying the offside game.

by himself.

It's a goal! It's a goal.

We all went out together,
we went to dance halls,

566
00:30:32,581 --> 00:30:34,618
we went on holidays together.

567
00:30:35,334 --> 00:30:39,694
We were very, very fortunate
to all join together.

568
00:30:39,898 --> 00:30:42,640
When Matt was growing up,
he'd had a tough life.

569
00:30:42,841 --> 00:30:46,342
And I think he saw an enthusiasm,

570
00:30:46,648 --> 00:30:48,577
a vigour for life,

571
00:30:48,686 --> 00:30:50,220
for joy, and for fun.

572
00:30:50,374 --> 00:30:56,932
The mid-'50s were the early flowering
of culture and excitement

573
00:30:57,022 --> 00:30:58,103
and leisure.

574
00:30:58,190 --> 00:31:01,450
And Harold MacMillan was saying,
"You've never had it so good."

575
00:31:01,536 --> 00:31:05,686
And the Busby Babes were part
of that flourishing of society,

576
00:31:05,781 --> 00:31:09,274
and the excitement
and the youthfulness of a generation.

577
00:31:09,826 --> 00:31:13,364
The Busby Babes,
the way they played was rock'n'roll.

578
00:31:13,455 --> 00:31:16,072
They weren't shackled by old ideas.

579
00:31:16,166 --> 00:31:17,452
They were inspiring.

580
00:31:17,501 --> 00:31:20,869
(WILF MCGUINNESS) It was a wonderful
place to be at, Manchester United,

581
00:31:21,004 --> 00:31:22,745
in those days. Terrific.

582
00:31:22,839 --> 00:31:24,830
A very distinct memory as a kid.

583
00:31:24,925 --> 00:31:27,257
They used to come to training
on the bus.

584
00:31:27,512 --> 00:31:29,865
Paid players.
Just the odd one would have a car.

585
00:31:29,945 --> 00:31:32,397
They'd go in the pub on a Saturday night,
you know, for a drink.

586
00:31:32,424 --> 00:31:35,262
(KEN RAMSDEN) They were ordinary folk
so the fans related to them.

587
00:31:35,352 --> 00:31:38,320
They saw them in the shop buying their
cigarettes and sweets and newspapers.

588
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,477
They represented what was then...

589
00:31:41,829 --> 00:31:43,548
what was then a
working-class game

590
00:31:43,610 --> 00:31:45,977
and they represented those Mancunians.

591
00:31:46,071 --> 00:31:49,689
He'd say, "Those people have paid money
to come and watch," you know.

592
00:31:49,783 --> 00:31:51,899
He'd give us a right volley.

593
00:31:52,369 --> 00:31:56,520
They were so far ahead,
they were so new, they were so fit.

594
00:31:57,124 --> 00:31:58,956
They were so original.

595
00:31:59,501 --> 00:32:02,414
There was an air about them
of invincibility.

596
00:32:02,462 --> 00:32:04,703
And they played on that.

600
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:20,310

among the gallery of the immortals.

and most abundant we have ever known.

More to spend and more to buy.

603
00:32:27,779 --> 00:32:31,488
And young and old alike rejoiced
to see the ration book go.

604
00:32:32,284 --> 00:32:34,867
(MATT BUSBY) When we won
the championship of '56,

605
00:32:34,995 --> 00:32:38,100
I said to our board,
"I'd like us to enter Europe."

606
00:32:38,707 --> 00:32:40,446
Next thing is we apply.

607
00:32:40,542 --> 00:32:42,874
The League Management Committee
sent a letter to the club

608
00:32:43,003 --> 00:32:45,995
saying they didn't like the idea
of us going in.

609
00:32:46,833 --> 00:32:49,450
(KEN RAMSDEN)
Chelsea had won the League in 1955

610
00:32:49,718 --> 00:32:53,677
and they were told it would conflict
with the fixtures, so they backed off.

611
00:32:53,849 --> 00:32:56,919
Well, Mr Busby wasn't gonna be doing
any backing off, thank you.

612
00:32:58,643 --> 00:33:01,010
(MATT BUSBY) I felt very strongly
about it at the time.

613
00:33:01,062 --> 00:33:03,092
This is a new avenue to go into and...

614
00:33:03,223 --> 00:33:05,848
It was not a Scottish game,
it was not an English game,

615
00:33:05,901 --> 00:33:09,269
it was not an Irish game,
it was a world game.

616
00:33:09,988 --> 00:33:12,229
They were warned by the Football League,

617
00:33:12,324 --> 00:33:16,642
"If it interferes with your commitments,
you will be punished severely."

618
00:33:16,912 --> 00:33:22,578
Included the possibility that United
will be put out of the Football League.

619
00:33:24,461 --> 00:33:26,498
So I never doubted it for a moment,
it was right

620
00:33:26,588 --> 00:33:29,922
because the old man said,
"That's the way we've got to go

621
00:33:30,383 --> 00:33:35,002
and if we have to argue with our own
football authorities, so be it."

622
00:33:38,391 --> 00:33:41,383

We just went on with it.

It was a terrific, terrific time.

624
00:34:03,208 --> 00:34:07,497
There was no television. We didn't see
Spanish football or French football

Manchester was set for the semi-final.

(MATT BUSBY) When you go abroad
and play in these competitions,

634
00:34:31,611 --> 00:34:33,239
there's a great responsibility.

635
00:34:33,291 --> 00:34:35,859
You represent yourself,

636
00:34:36,074 --> 00:34:38,159
your club, your country,

637
00:34:38,419 --> 00:34:42,253

for the European Cup.

639

English champions already, they now want
to be European champions too.

00:34:49,947 --> 00:34:53,172
He wanted Manchester United
to become England's Real Madrid

641
00:34:53,258 --> 00:34:54,840
and that was his dream.

642
00:34:54,933 --> 00:34:57,043
Matt had seen Real Madrid,

643
00:34:57,096 --> 00:35:00,717
how they could attract
crowds of over 100,000

644
00:35:00,807 --> 00:35:04,641
paying much more
than the English customer would pay.

645
00:35:05,395 --> 00:35:08,103
The stadium was the first thing
I noticed going over there.

00:35:08,189 --> 00:35:09,522
Tremendous stadium.

647
00:35:09,622 --> 00:35:13,476
I was one of the reserves.
I was terribly pleased that I wasn't playing.

648
00:35:13,820 --> 00:35:17,154
You know, I saw Stéfano and I thought,
you know, these things aren't human.

649
00:35:17,240 --> 00:35:21,404
You know, it's not the type of game
that I'd ever been taught before.

They beat us 3-1. It could have been
two possibly, you know.

00:35:35,014 --> 00:35:36,665
But then we came back.

653
00:35:37,218 --> 00:35:40,943
There was so much atmosphere
and so much tension in the city,

654
00:35:41,056 --> 00:35:44,305
and I suppose in the country, that
by the time we came out to play them

655
00:35:44,392 --> 00:35:46,383
we started to fancy
our chances a little bit

656

And Duncan Edwards picked him up.

673
00:36:33,918 --> 00:36:37,856
He picked him up and didn't throw him
but placed him off the pitch.

The year we were beaten by Real Madrid,

681
00:36:58,466 --> 00:37:00,503
it was due to inexperience, really.

I only woke up when I heard everybody say,
"Fasten your safety belts."

720
00:39:47,594 --> 00:39:50,211
And we'd come down. We were nearly
on the runway before we knew it

721
00:39:50,305 --> 00:39:53,343
because it was what they call
very low cloud base.

722
00:39:56,728 --> 00:40:01,188
They were under strict instructions
from the Football League

723
00:40:01,274 --> 00:40:02,685
that they would be fined

724
00:40:02,775 --> 00:40:06,461
if they didn't arrive back in time
to play their scheduled League game

725

in Munich airport.

We went up the runway once...

727
00:40:18,833 --> 00:40:20,289
and then come back.

728
00:40:22,003 --> 00:40:23,368

we went along the runway.

When we went back
to the starting gate again,

731
00:40:39,145 --> 00:40:42,354
we were told to go into the cafeteria.

732
00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:47,643
And then about ten minutes, half an hour
after that, there was an announcement.

733
00:40:49,197 --> 00:40:54,033
To proceed to the plane
as the fault had been corrected.

734

from the plane.

because my safety belt was broke.

Mr Foulkes here.

the hoses, the firemen had arrived

were unconscious.

just kept trying to keep him calm

and watching children's television

763
00:43:23,351 --> 00:43:27,310

had crashed at Munich.

Because he should have been.

We got so many problems

997
00:58:59,369 --> 00:59:01,906
in trying to create
a new Manchester United.

998
00:59:10,213 --> 00:59:12,580
It was a very harassing time.

999
00:59:15,052 --> 00:59:19,171
You couldn't wait for young people
to build your young team again.

1000
00:59:20,098 --> 00:59:23,716
It meant actually that I could try
to enter the transfer market

1001
00:59:23,810 --> 00:59:26,472
and try and buy one or two players
that I felt

1002
00:59:26,563 --> 00:59:29,476
would help us through
this particular period.

1003
00:59:36,406 --> 00:59:39,363
My father joined United just after the war.

1004
00:59:39,493 --> 00:59:41,200
Matt was a tracksuit manager.

1005
00:59:42,913 --> 00:59:44,904
When I played, you never saw Matt.

1006
00:59:52,130 --> 00:59:54,542
I joined in 1960

1007
00:59:54,633 --> 00:59:57,250
and there were five years post-Munich

1008
00:59:57,344 --> 01:00:01,713
when the training ground
was a kind of sterile place.

1009
01:00:03,433 --> 01:00:06,596
Busby was notable by his absence.

1010
01:00:07,646 --> 01:00:12,607
No, when I say, with the situation of Denis,
Denis is the...

1011
01:00:13,443 --> 01:00:16,435
the stumbling block
at the present time. If he's...

1012
01:00:16,530 --> 01:00:19,194
(EAMON DUNPHY)
I remember Noel saying to me,

1013
01:00:19,301 --> 01:00:21,656
"Is this it?"
I said, "What do you mean?"

1014
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:23,859
He said, "Is this
the great Manchester United?"

1015
01:00:29,261 --> 01:00:31,172
Well, I was 12th man
for the first team.

1016
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,753
On the coach,
a piece of paper was passed down.

1017
01:00:35,340 --> 01:00:36,296
(CHEERING)

1018
01:00:36,383 --> 01:00:40,126
It was a cartoon of Busby
with the words "Bollock Chops".

1019
01:00:41,388 --> 01:00:45,677
It was a shock to me but it was the way
the senior players were thinking.

1020
01:00:46,268 --> 01:00:47,633
Someone like Bobby Charlton

1021
01:00:48,019 --> 01:00:50,932
would resent
some of the people who came in.

1022
01:00:51,022 --> 01:00:56,734
But the Manchester United dream
was dying, if not dead.

1023
01:00:58,405 --> 01:01:01,773
There was a tremendous turnover
of players coming in, going out,

1024
01:01:01,867 --> 01:01:03,653
shuffling right, left and centre.

1025
01:01:10,709 --> 01:01:13,167
(MATT BUSBY) Well,
I wanted Denis Law as a boy.

1026
01:01:14,588 --> 01:01:16,420
He was at Huddersfield at the time and...

1027
01:01:16,506 --> 01:01:18,713
I went to Andy Beattie
who was the manager then and said,

1028
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:22,714
"Look, I'll give you £10,000
for this young blond elf."

1029
01:01:22,804 --> 01:01:25,592
"No, Matt," he said,
"we think we've got something."

1030
01:01:26,099 --> 01:01:30,138
And Andy Beattie was right
because they had something.

1031
01:01:31,062 --> 01:01:35,306
I bumped into
Mr Busby in those days.

1032
01:01:36,568 --> 01:01:40,857
And he said to me, he said,
"How's things going in Torino or whatever?"

1033
01:01:40,906 --> 01:01:44,865
You know, I said,
"Well, really, not good, really."

1034
01:01:44,993 --> 01:01:47,985
"It's...
The football's rubbish, really."

1035
01:01:49,164 --> 01:01:52,828
(MATT BUSBY)
I eventually bought him from Torino.

1036
01:01:53,460 --> 01:01:56,428
They were offering £115,000 for him.

1037
01:01:57,027 --> 01:01:58,399
That was cheap at the price.

1038
01:01:58,882 --> 01:02:00,168
(LAUGHS)

1039
01:02:00,217 --> 01:02:03,335
For all these magnificent goals,
a magnificent player.

1040
01:02:03,454 --> 01:02:04,819
It was cheap at the price.

1041
01:02:07,265 --> 01:02:08,255
(CHEERING)

1042
01:02:08,350 --> 01:02:11,843
He used to rise so majestically
and he'd stay there

1043
01:02:12,395 --> 01:02:14,807
and head these balls so well.

1044
01:02:15,315 --> 01:02:18,353
Ah, and he was so courageous, you know,

1045
01:02:18,443 --> 01:02:22,311
no matter who they were or what they were,
how big they were.

1046
01:02:22,405 --> 01:02:25,542
Sometimes the big ones
would maybe clatter him.

1047
01:02:25,700 --> 01:02:28,102
"I can't promise you I won't kick 'em back."

1048
01:02:28,215 --> 01:02:31,161
I said, "All right, all right,
but keep out of trouble as well."

1049
01:02:31,248 --> 01:02:33,629
(COMMENTATOR)
That fair-haired genius, Denis Law.

1050
01:02:33,729 --> 01:02:37,872
(PAT CRERAND) The first time
I ever met Matt Busby was '61 or '62.

1051
01:02:38,004 --> 01:02:40,291
We thought, "God almighty,
that's Matt Busby."

1052
01:02:40,632 --> 01:02:43,340
(COMMENTATOR) His instinctive eye for talent
brought Pat Crerand to Old Trafford.

1053
01:02:43,426 --> 01:02:46,044
I came just beginning of February '63 and

1054
01:02:46,431 --> 01:02:48,527
the team weren't doing
particularly well.

1055
01:02:48,615 --> 01:02:52,324
(MATT BUSBY) We'd signed Pat Crerand
and we'd signed Law that year.

1056
01:02:52,477 --> 01:02:55,185
Played at Leicester one time
and Law scored a hat-trick.

1057
01:02:55,272 --> 01:02:57,513
But we lost 4-3.

1058
01:02:57,679 --> 01:03:00,671
However way we played, we just couldn't win.

1059
01:03:02,153 --> 01:03:05,191
There was a nine-week period
where we had snow and frost

1060
01:03:05,282 --> 01:03:06,522
and there were no games played.

1061
01:03:08,201 --> 01:03:11,068
And trying to catch up on all the fixtures,
we just couldn't get it right.

1062
01:03:11,162 --> 01:03:14,450
We were drifting down
and not seeming to get the results.

1063
01:03:15,583 --> 01:03:18,061
(MATT BUSBY) The men were coming in
after the match and saying,

1064
01:03:18,179 --> 01:03:20,261
"What have we got to do
to win a match?"

1065
01:03:21,172 --> 01:03:23,254
(COMMENTATOR)
See the Saints get the game going.

1066
01:03:26,261 --> 01:03:30,255
Top star of Southampton, Terry Paine,
soon shows sparkling form on the right.

1067
01:03:30,348 --> 01:03:31,930
Early on, he's on the warpath.

1068
01:03:32,058 --> 01:03:35,676
(BOBBY CHARLTON)
That year, we had almost been relegated.

1069
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,126
We finished about sixth or seventh
from the bottom.

1070
01:03:38,481 --> 01:03:41,519
And the Cup,
it was like a release, the Cup.

1071
01:03:41,860 --> 01:03:45,273
(COMMENTATOR) A well-placed centre,
Denis Law just manages to connect.

1072
01:03:45,363 --> 01:03:47,445
- Goal!

1073
01:03:48,783 --> 01:03:52,367
It's all over.
Manchester United 1, Southampton 0.

1074
01:03:52,454 --> 01:03:55,287
It's United versus Leicester City
in the final.

1075
01:03:58,293 --> 01:04:02,412
(REPORTER) Inside the stadium, 100,000 fans
ready to raise that new roof.

With the arrival of Her Majesty,
the preliminaries reach their climax.

1078
01:04:13,183 --> 01:04:15,911
He did say, Matt Busby,
that it would take five years for the club

1079
01:04:15,936 --> 01:04:19,421
to be really established
as a real football power again.

1080
01:04:20,548 --> 01:04:23,978
We were outsiders and it suited us
with the quality of players we had.

1081
01:04:24,069 --> 01:04:26,857
The day of a big game,
they would come through.

The fulfilment

The Cup and a Cup medal.

1088
01:05:02,065 --> 01:05:04,623
It's a moment of triumph
for their manager Matt Busby.

1089
01:05:04,692 --> 01:05:07,901
Proof that he has
most successfully rebuilt United.

We had plenty bottles of milk
they had in the dressing room.

1093
01:05:25,854 --> 01:05:28,465
No champagne.
Milk, we were drinking!

what do you feel about it?

1096
01:05:35,765 --> 01:05:38,757
(MATT BUSBY) Well, I think
it's a wonderful thing for myself,

1097
01:05:38,852 --> 01:05:41,014
for the club, the players,
and everything else because

1098
01:05:41,438 --> 01:05:44,726
these boys have got it in them,
and of course they've shown it today

1099
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,432
and I'm very, very pleased indeed.

How one game can change a football team!

1105
01:06:03,668 --> 01:06:05,659
The Cup was a big, big affair.

1106
01:06:05,753 --> 01:06:08,871
It was a massive affair worldwide in '63.

1107
01:06:09,424 --> 01:06:11,256
It changed Manchester United.

1108
01:06:11,301 --> 01:06:14,043
So that gave us a lift
to think we could do anything.

1109
01:06:30,236 --> 01:06:32,068
Very pleased to meet you
and welcome to Old Trafford.

1110
01:06:32,119 --> 01:06:34,017
I'm Matt Busby,
the manager of Manchester United.

1111
01:06:34,122 --> 01:06:37,911
All you boys follow me, I'll take you
down to the dressing room. Right?

1112
01:06:48,671 --> 01:06:51,504
(REPORTER) Manchester United
last year confirmed the old saying,

1113
01:06:51,591 --> 01:06:53,673
"Lousy in the League, lucky in the Cup."

1114
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,969
But Denis Law for one
has other ideas for this year.

1115
01:07:00,266 --> 01:07:02,081
(MATT BUSBY)
It was the start of a season.

1116
01:07:02,227 --> 01:07:04,426
These two boys
had come over from Belfast.

1117
01:07:05,355 --> 01:07:07,562
And watching them playing
and carrying on,

1118
01:07:07,649 --> 01:07:09,060
I come back with the opinion

1119
01:07:09,192 --> 01:07:13,777
that there was someone there
who had extraordinary talent.

1120
01:07:14,531 --> 01:07:17,193
But he was still a boy at 15 years of age.

1121

(GEORGE BEST)
Played for Cregagh Boys Club.

1122
01:07:20,119 --> 01:07:23,030
And Manchester United decided me for trials.

1123
01:07:23,873 --> 01:07:27,741
And at first when I went over,
I only stayed a couple of days,

1124
01:07:27,835 --> 01:07:30,497
and I was homesick and came back home.

1125
01:07:30,588 --> 01:07:33,000
But my father,
he had a talk with Matt Busby

1126
01:07:33,299 --> 01:07:36,132
and he decided
to give me another chance.

it was uncanny.

01:07:45,812 --> 01:07:49,806
He had obviously
this tremendous balance, for a boy.

1131
01:07:49,899 --> 01:07:52,436
When I brought him into the side,
17 year old.

1132
01:07:54,445 --> 01:07:56,456
George was like Edwards.

1133
01:07:57,421 --> 01:07:59,555
Best didn't need
coaching at all.

1134
01:08:00,201 --> 01:08:02,989
(GEORGE BEST) Amazingly, I find it quite easy
to play in the First Division.

1135
01:08:03,079 --> 01:08:05,320
Y'know, I don't have to train hard.

1136
01:08:05,415 --> 01:08:09,750
Y'know, I don't have to work at anything,
it must be just natural ability.

Sir Matt had always advocated

you were good players,

get into Europe for the first time

(LAUGHS)

1151
01:08:58,217 --> 01:09:00,208
I was in the middle of the park

Nobby was defending

They were two attacking full-backs.
We just clicked.

01:09:10,774 --> 01:09:14,602
(COMMENTATOR) Here we are on the last
Saturday of the Football League season

1157
01:09:14,692 --> 01:09:18,902
and still, any one of three teams
can win the First Division Championship.

1158
01:09:20,073 --> 01:09:23,441
(KEN RAMSDEN) So after European games,
in the early '60s,

1159
01:09:23,534 --> 01:09:25,275
teams would often stay over

1160
01:09:25,370 --> 01:09:28,447
and we would go after the match
to the Midland dressed up

1161
01:09:28,581 --> 01:09:31,448
a dinner, a dinner... a cabaret.

1162
01:09:31,501 --> 01:09:34,869
And at two o'clock in the morning,
we'd be doing the conga around the corridor

1163
01:09:35,004 --> 01:09:38,838
and who would lead the conga?
Mr and Mrs Busby. Brilliant.

1164
01:09:38,925 --> 01:09:42,043
(REPORTER) Be it Old Trafford, the home
of League champions Manchester United.

1165
01:09:42,136 --> 01:09:43,877
There, Matt Busby is really the boss.

1166
01:09:44,013 --> 01:09:45,720
He's the only manager
in the Football League

1167
01:09:45,807 --> 01:09:47,423
to have held his job for 20 years

1168
01:09:47,517 --> 01:09:50,760
and he's made United England's
most successful post-war club.

1169
01:09:50,853 --> 01:09:52,603
As a manager, what is his approach?

1170
01:09:52,698 --> 01:09:54,939
Today I regard football as big business.

1171
01:09:56,067 --> 01:09:58,104
Many years ago, a few years ago,

1172
01:09:59,237 --> 01:10:01,194
there was a certain amount
of sport in it.

1173
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:05,615
One might say there's sport there just now,
but not to the extent...

1174
01:10:05,660 --> 01:10:09,654
It is business and you've got to produce,
and results count.

1175
01:10:09,997 --> 01:10:11,783
Because after all, end of a season,

1176
01:10:11,874 --> 01:10:14,866
football clubs must show
profit of some kind.

1177
01:10:16,921 --> 01:10:22,337
In the early '60s, Sir Matt brought
a successful businessman into the club.

1178
01:10:22,427 --> 01:10:24,919
Louis Edwards worked
in the meat industry in Manchester.

1179
01:10:25,054 --> 01:10:28,718
Big United fan,
and a friend of Matt Busby's.

1180
01:10:31,561 --> 01:10:36,852
Louis brought with him a business acumen
that was non-existent then.

1181
01:10:40,153 --> 01:10:42,986
(REPORTER) The reminders of his first
great team are all around him.

1182
01:10:43,078 --> 01:10:45,444
The young Charlton
is now a great player.

1183
01:10:45,574 --> 01:10:48,316
Billy Foulkes is as firm
and reliable as ever.

1184
01:10:48,661 --> 01:10:52,746
Harry Gregg, older and wiser,
still the first-choice goalkeeper.

1185
01:10:55,084 --> 01:10:57,166
Pat Crerand and also Denis Law

1186
01:10:57,253 --> 01:10:59,790
epitomise a somewhat different policy now.

1187
01:11:00,339 --> 01:11:04,473
These then were the foundations on which
Busby built his second football team.

1188
01:11:04,761 --> 01:11:08,004
He's put them in the setting
of a new £300,000 stand

1189
01:11:08,096 --> 01:11:10,263
and a ground that's had
a million pounds spent on it

1190
01:11:10,311 --> 01:11:12,097
in the 20 years of his managership.

1191
01:11:12,435 --> 01:11:15,518
He has rebuilt not only a club
but a reputation.

1192
01:11:15,605 --> 01:11:18,518
But practical rewards
from a satisfied board of directors

1193
01:11:18,608 --> 01:11:21,020
have been a one-ninth share
in Manchester United

1194
01:11:21,110 --> 01:11:23,852
and a seat on the board when he feels
that he's ready to take it.

1195
01:11:23,988 --> 01:11:25,861
(KEN RAMSDEN) United were
the first club in the country

1196
01:11:25,887 --> 01:11:28,396
to introduce private boxes
at the stadium.

1197
01:11:28,618 --> 01:11:32,486
And that was a business decision
taken jointly by Sir Matt

1198
01:11:32,580 --> 01:11:33,536
and Louis Edwards.

1199
01:11:33,623 --> 01:11:36,365
They saw that there was
a market for this.

1200
01:11:38,169 --> 01:11:39,876
But the will was then that,

1201
01:11:40,004 --> 01:11:43,372
between them, they had mates
who could buy all the boxes anyway.

1202
01:11:47,470 --> 01:11:50,258
(REPORTER) For Busby and United,
the wheel has turned full circle

1203
01:11:50,348 --> 01:11:52,430
and again they're in the European Cup.

1204
01:11:52,642 --> 01:11:55,259
In their first leg quarter-final match
against Benfica,

1205
01:11:55,353 --> 01:11:58,843
their fluid, freewheeling game
brought them a 3-2 victory.

1206
01:11:59,065 --> 01:12:01,523
It was a triumph
for Busby the tactician.

1207
01:12:03,694 --> 01:12:05,132
(CHEERING)

1208
01:12:05,250 --> 01:12:07,172
(MATT BUSBY) I think generally
we are a better side.

1209
01:12:07,377 --> 01:12:09,368
If our boys play as they can play,

1210
01:12:10,493 --> 01:12:12,951
- I feel we'll beat them.
- (JOURNALIST) You have to beat them, Matt.

1211
01:12:12,995 --> 01:12:16,078
I'm wondering whether there's
anything left really for you to prove.

1212
01:12:16,269 --> 01:12:19,244
I still want Manchester United
to be the best team in Europe.

1213
01:12:19,377 --> 01:12:22,745
And the only way they can be the best team
in Europe is by winning the European Cup.

1214
01:12:24,093 --> 01:12:33,563


1215
01:12:46,529 --> 01:12:48,896
(PAT CRERAND) You know the fans
wanted to win, but it was for him.

1216
01:12:49,031 --> 01:12:50,692
He was that popular with the players.

1217
01:12:50,783 --> 01:12:53,616
And of course
they didn't want to let him down.

1218
01:12:54,203 --> 01:12:57,195
Just had that bit of magic that got you to...

1219
01:12:57,290 --> 01:12:59,975
You wanted to win for him
more than anything else.

(COMMENTATOR) Denis Law
and the rest of Matt Busby's men

1221
01:13:03,129 --> 01:13:05,166
had only one thought: attack.

1222
01:13:05,673 --> 01:13:08,200
After seven minutes,
the ball went to George Best.

1236
01:13:46,505 --> 01:13:49,247
Like Matthews and Pelé and Eusébio,

1237
01:13:49,300 --> 01:13:53,043
this is a name that will put 10,000
on the gate wherever he plays.

1238
01:13:53,137 --> 01:13:56,129
(MATT BUSBY) I think maturity
in the next two or three years

1239
01:13:56,807 --> 01:14:00,516
will make him probably
the most complete player.

I know sometimes I go a bit beyond,

training and football
is not a strain to me.

Y'know, I enjoy training.

1254
01:14:42,853 --> 01:14:44,969
(JOURNALIST) Do you think
that present-day footballers

1255
01:14:45,022 --> 01:14:47,059
are very much overpaid?

1256
01:14:47,191 --> 01:14:49,899
It seems to be sort of out of all proportion.

1257
01:14:52,071 --> 01:14:55,780
Well, I really think every man
should be paid according to his ability.

1258
01:14:56,450 --> 01:15:00,739
I must say that I've never objected
to paying very big wages

1259
01:15:00,830 --> 01:15:03,071
to a lot of the Manchester United players

1260
01:15:03,165 --> 01:15:05,202
because they had the ability
to do something

1261
01:15:05,292 --> 01:15:09,377
and the ability to win something
and the ability to pull crowds.

1262
01:15:10,464 --> 01:15:13,126
With the abolition of the maximum wage
in the early '60s,

1263
01:15:13,217 --> 01:15:15,333
players could have earned
a lot more at other clubs.

1264
01:15:15,761 --> 01:15:18,048
(JOHN ASTON JR) The only player,
Bobby Charlton told me once...

1265
01:15:18,097 --> 01:15:20,555
He said, "The boss called me. He said,
'Do you want a rise, Bobby?"'

1266
01:15:20,641 --> 01:15:22,507
And never heard of that before.

1267
01:15:23,227 --> 01:15:27,437
I know that Denis Law went for a rise.
He didn't get it.

1268
01:15:28,315 --> 01:15:29,897
And why did he do it?

1269
01:15:30,026 --> 01:15:32,438
Upbringing, man of his age...

1270
01:15:32,945 --> 01:15:36,654

You don't get £25 a week

United managed to hold down
the wage bills at Old Trafford.

Players like George Best
and Bobby Charlton and Denis Law

1275
01:15:50,421 --> 01:15:54,289
were playing for the prestige

beaten Benfica
and played so magnificently.

01:16:28,876 --> 01:16:31,407
I rather think it give us
a false impression.

1284
01:16:31,629 --> 01:16:34,917
And the semi-final we played Partizan,

1285
01:16:35,049 --> 01:16:37,290
I think we rather took the view

1286
01:16:37,384 --> 01:16:39,716
that we'd just got
to go on the field and play

1287
01:16:39,804 --> 01:16:42,011
and pick up the semi-final
and go into the final.

1288
01:16:42,098 --> 01:16:45,307
I think it was... this I think
was the reason why we lost.

You are reputed of course to be looking
for one or two players now,

to improve and sort of develop
your squad a bit. Is that right?

1291
01:16:50,830 --> 01:16:54,065
Well, of course, we bought
Alex Stepney, the goalkeeper.

We seemed to be losing a lot of goals

and I think he's tightened up
the defence considerably.

01:18:17,106 --> 01:18:20,217
"Well, if we can get to 0-0 at half-time,
we've got a chance."

1317
01:18:22,364 --> 01:18:24,401
- (CHEERING)
- (COMMENTATOR) It's a goal!

1318
01:18:27,068 --> 01:18:30,777
One minute's gone in this match,
the crowd erupts.

1319
01:18:31,165 --> 01:18:35,454
Oh! Gento goes absolutely clear.
Brennan never made contact.

1320
01:18:35,544 --> 01:18:38,286
And it's the second goal,
and poor Shay Brennan!

1321
01:18:40,090 --> 01:18:42,081
- (CHEERING)
- Own goal! It's an own goal!

1322
01:18:42,885 --> 01:18:45,673
What an astonishing thing!
There was no danger.

1323
01:18:47,056 --> 01:18:49,798
Gento trying to blast it through...
And another goal!

1324
01:18:49,892 --> 01:18:54,386
The half-time score, 3-1 to Real Madrid
and 3-2 they lead on aggregate.

1325
01:18:54,452 --> 01:18:56,496
(ALEX STEPNEY) We went in that dressing room,
"What you doing?

1326
01:18:56,554 --> 01:18:58,875
You're supposed to be out there
attacking teams, you've done it all..."

1327
01:18:59,235 --> 01:19:00,225
Laughing!

1328
01:19:00,486 --> 01:19:02,206
He says... (SCOFFS)

1329
01:19:02,404 --> 01:19:04,987
"Semi-final...
Go out and enjoy yourselves!"

1330
01:19:05,074 --> 01:19:07,031
"You've let me down,
you've let the supporters down,

1331
01:19:07,076 --> 01:19:08,175
you've let the club down."

1332
01:19:08,702 --> 01:19:09,817
(COMMENTATOR)
The match is so tense,

1333
01:19:09,912 --> 01:19:12,825
it's produced such an atmosphere,
you could almost touch it.

1334
01:19:16,126 --> 01:19:17,036
Best.

1335
01:19:19,171 --> 01:19:20,286
- (CHEERING)
- Oh!

1336
01:19:21,423 --> 01:19:24,961
And it's Sadler and it counts.
Everybody can't believe it!

1337
01:19:25,261 --> 01:19:27,298
It looked for a moment as if he might
have handled it, but the goal's given

1338
01:19:27,388 --> 01:19:30,676
and Manchester United are very much
back in this European Cup.

1339
01:19:31,684 --> 01:19:33,345
Best has made the space well.

1340
01:19:34,478 --> 01:19:36,719
Shoots... Foulkes, he scores!

1341
01:19:36,939 --> 01:19:39,897
Bill Foulkes,
the man who's played right through

1342
01:19:40,025 --> 01:19:43,143
Manchester United's
European Cup campaign!

1343
01:19:43,237 --> 01:19:45,820
Foulkes, of all people,
poaching on the edge of the box!

1344
01:19:45,906 --> 01:19:48,068
And what a good goal it was, too!

1345
01:19:48,450 --> 01:19:49,986
Set up by George Best

1346
01:19:50,077 --> 01:19:52,660
and Manchester United could be
on the way to the final!

1347
01:19:52,746 --> 01:19:54,783
(JOHN ASTON JR)
No other memory of him scoring a goal

1348
01:19:54,873 --> 01:19:57,467
and then he actually side-footed
the ball into the goal.

1349
01:19:57,861 --> 01:20:00,376
I can't remember him
side-footing anything, you know.

1350
01:20:00,421 --> 01:20:02,537
(COMMENTATOR)
They've done it! Yes, they've done it!

1351
01:20:02,631 --> 01:20:05,840
Manchester United have gone
into the final of the European Cup.

1352
01:20:05,926 --> 01:20:08,884
And Bobby Charlton's fallen right over.
He's lying flat.

1353
01:20:09,179 --> 01:20:12,137
I'm not quite sure if he's fainted
or what or whether he's crying

1354
01:20:12,224 --> 01:20:15,012
but Bobby Charlton is
face down on the pitch.

1355
01:20:15,394 --> 01:20:19,388
What a moment this is for Matt Busby
and Manchester United.

1356
01:20:20,482 --> 01:20:23,065
And Bobby Charlton
who's played right so far

1357
01:20:23,152 --> 01:20:26,440
through all of Manchester United's
European Cup matches,

1358
01:20:26,530 --> 01:20:28,737
overcome right at the last moment.

1359
01:20:32,036 --> 01:20:34,277
(JOURNALIST) Bobby,
you've won every honour of the game

1360
01:20:34,371 --> 01:20:35,577
but it's not come easily to you.

1361
01:20:35,622 --> 01:20:38,330
Now I remember a long time ago,
sitting in the Wembley dressing room

1362
01:20:38,375 --> 01:20:41,083
alongside you,
it was 1958, just after Munich,

1363
01:20:41,170 --> 01:20:43,662
and you were crying that day.
Do you remember?

1364
01:20:43,756 --> 01:20:46,293
You sat in the dressing room
and you'd got a loser's medal again

1365
01:20:46,383 --> 01:20:48,624
and I remember you saying to me,
"Oh, well, y'know,

1366
01:20:48,677 --> 01:20:51,135
this is another loser's medal,"
kind of thing.

1367
01:20:51,180 --> 01:20:53,842
And I suddenly had a feeling that it was
gonna happen to you again in a sense.

1368
01:20:53,932 --> 01:20:56,299
- Did you feel that?
- No.

1369
01:20:56,393 --> 01:20:59,431
I've got over that now.
I expect to lose sometimes

1370
01:20:59,772 --> 01:21:02,264
but I shall be more disappointed
if we lose the next one.

1371
01:21:02,358 --> 01:21:05,521
- Yes.
- You know, but we'll give them a run.

1372
01:21:05,611 --> 01:21:08,729
The pair of you have been right through
the United campaign ever since, you know...

1373
01:21:08,781 --> 01:21:12,240
(HARRY GREGG) But I felt I always had
something driving me on.

1374
01:21:13,333 --> 01:21:15,171
Pushed myself a lot further.

1375
01:21:15,287 --> 01:21:18,496
'Cos I felt I had to win that European Cup.

1376
01:21:22,336 --> 01:21:24,873
(BOBBY CHARLTON) We all said,
"We must win the European Cup

1377
01:21:25,005 --> 01:21:29,340
because that's what the lads
died trying to achieve."

1378
01:22:46,795 --> 01:22:50,163
(COMMENTATOR) And there's Coluna,
and Manchester United on the far side.

1379
01:22:50,257 --> 01:22:52,544
(BOBBY CHARLTON)
Maybe the hottest and most humid day

1380
01:22:52,634 --> 01:22:54,170
that I've ever known in England.

1381
01:22:57,097 --> 01:22:59,259
The sweat was pumping out of us.

1382
01:22:59,349 --> 01:23:03,593
(COMMENTATOR) Alex Stepney, Brian Kidd,
and a happy 19th birthday to him.

1383
01:23:04,104 --> 01:23:07,313
The unmistakeable figure of George Best.

1384
01:23:08,192 --> 01:23:11,810
And John Aston, his proud father
is here to watch him today.

1385
01:23:12,029 --> 01:23:12,894
Bill Foulkes,

1386
01:23:12,988 --> 01:23:15,855
who's played in every European Cup
campaign for Manchester United.

1387
01:23:15,991 --> 01:23:17,481
The only player to have done so.

1388
01:23:17,576 --> 01:23:21,570
One of the greatest servants Manchester
United are ever likely to have.

1389
01:23:22,372 --> 01:23:23,487
Pat Crerand.

1390
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:25,856
A lot of people say
he's a one-pace player

1391
01:23:25,918 --> 01:23:27,829
but he's an immaculate
passer of the ball.

1392
01:23:28,086 --> 01:23:30,077
(CHEERING)

1393
01:23:30,839 --> 01:23:34,332
Thirteenth European Cup final
and there is Matt Busby.

1394
01:23:34,426 --> 01:23:37,982
And how most people in this stadium,
and I'm sure in the television audience,

1395
01:23:38,101 --> 01:23:39,683
are praying for him at this moment.

1396
01:23:41,350 --> 01:23:44,718
I've never known such tension
in Wembley Stadium before.

1397
01:23:44,811 --> 01:23:47,553
This is a tremendous,
emotional occasion.

1398
01:23:47,940 --> 01:23:50,981
Game under way and it's Manchester United
kicking off in the dark shirts,

1399
01:23:51,568 --> 01:23:54,606
the dark blue shirts,
attacking the goal on your left.

1400
01:23:55,822 --> 01:23:58,780
(CHEERING)

1401
01:23:58,867 --> 01:24:01,575
Aston again leaving Adolfo miles behind.

1402
01:24:01,912 --> 01:24:04,404
Watch Kidd on the far post!
Now Sadler!

1403
01:24:04,540 --> 01:24:06,907
For Aston, what a good ball, too!

1404
01:24:08,835 --> 01:24:10,826
Fine try by Johnny Aston there.

1405
01:24:10,921 --> 01:24:14,960
Matt Busby must be wondering whether
that was an important one went away.

1406
01:24:15,050 --> 01:24:16,131
For Sadler...

1407
01:24:17,010 --> 01:24:18,000
Charlton...

1408
01:24:18,303 --> 01:24:20,920
- It's there! Bobby Charlton!
- (CHEERING)

1409
01:24:22,266 --> 01:24:24,803
Bobby Charlton makes it 1-nothing!

1410
01:24:28,897 --> 01:24:32,356
That's his 20th goal
in the European Cup competition.

1411
01:24:37,781 --> 01:24:39,738
Eusébio and now Graça!

1412
01:24:39,950 --> 01:24:40,906
It's 1-1!

1413
01:24:41,493 --> 01:24:43,154
Graça, Jaime Graça.

1414
01:24:47,124 --> 01:24:48,865
Simões breaking for Benfica.

1415
01:24:49,001 --> 01:24:50,833
And Eusébio going through the middle...

1416
01:24:50,961 --> 01:24:52,577
What a tremendous save!

1417
01:24:52,671 --> 01:24:55,333
- Stepney!
- Wonderful keeping by Stepney there!

1418
01:24:55,382 --> 01:24:57,373
He came right out
and narrowed that angle.

1419
01:24:57,467 --> 01:24:59,549
The only way it could go in
was over the top!

1420
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:03,091
(WHISTLE BLOWS)

1421
01:25:03,140 --> 01:25:08,010
And the whistle goes
for the end of 90 minutes.

1422
01:25:10,147 --> 01:25:12,889
The second time in the history
of the European Cup

1423
01:25:12,983 --> 01:25:15,020
that there has been extra time.

1424
01:25:17,613 --> 01:25:20,605
We now are going
to the first period of 15 minutes.

1425
01:25:22,034 --> 01:25:24,401
Now Best. Oh, he's got a great chance!

1426
01:25:24,494 --> 01:25:26,485
- (CHEERING)
- Oh, he must!

1427
01:25:26,580 --> 01:25:28,617
- He has!
- (CHEERING)

1428
01:25:28,832 --> 01:25:31,574
- Georgie Best has done it!
- (CHEERING)

1429
01:25:35,380 --> 01:25:40,375
Two minutes of extra time gone
and Georgie Best makes it 2-1.

1430
01:25:44,056 --> 01:25:46,172
And that was a tremendous save! Kidd!

1431
01:25:46,224 --> 01:25:48,841
- (CHEERING)
- Kidd it is, number eight!

1432
01:25:54,691 --> 01:25:56,978
It's Charlton in the middle,
so too is Aston.

1433
01:25:57,069 --> 01:25:58,935
Charlton... Another!

1434
01:25:59,446 --> 01:26:01,437
- (CHEERING)
- He's got another!

1435
01:26:03,450 --> 01:26:07,068
Is it all over? No.
Yes, it is! It's all over!

1436
01:26:07,162 --> 01:26:09,153
Manchester United have done it!

1437
01:26:09,247 --> 01:26:11,614
Where, oh, where is the man
everyone thinks of?

1438
01:26:11,708 --> 01:26:15,872
Matt Busby, tremendous moment
for this great man.

1439
01:26:16,004 --> 01:26:20,840
The man that they would have for
prime minister, president and everything.

1440
01:26:22,636 --> 01:26:26,220
When teams win something,
you go to the nearest player.

1441
01:26:26,890 --> 01:26:31,179
I don't think one of us, not one of us,
went to our nearest player.

1442
01:26:31,269 --> 01:26:35,103
We all went to Bill Foulkes,
to Bobby Charlton and Matt Busby.

1443
01:26:36,024 --> 01:26:37,389
It was never rehearsed.

1444
01:26:37,484 --> 01:26:40,021
(COMMENTATOR)
We've waited a long, long time for this.

1445
01:26:40,112 --> 01:26:43,571
Manchester United
are the European Champions.

1446
01:26:43,740 --> 01:26:44,821
(CHEERING)

1447
01:26:44,908 --> 01:26:46,899
Well done, Manchester United.

1448
01:26:53,458 --> 01:26:55,415
(MATT BUSBY)
That night at Wembley

1449
01:26:55,669 --> 01:26:57,125
was a crowning glory

1450
01:26:58,714 --> 01:26:59,920
for us all.

1451
01:27:00,173 --> 01:27:01,538
It was a night of achievement.

1452
01:27:03,260 --> 01:27:06,844
It was the object,
the exercise from the start.

1453
01:27:09,558 --> 01:27:12,846
And with the tragedy...

1454
01:27:15,105 --> 01:27:17,096
there was joy that night.

1455
01:27:30,078 --> 01:27:32,069
(CHEERING)

1456
01:27:34,166 --> 01:27:38,160
(MATT BUSBY) We've got here the boys
who've done us proud last night.

1457
01:27:38,420 --> 01:27:41,253
The boys who have won honour for the club.

1458
01:27:41,339 --> 01:27:43,205
They've won honour for Manchester,

1459
01:27:43,300 --> 01:27:44,790
they've won honour for England.

1460
01:27:44,885 --> 01:27:48,094
I'm very proud to be
the manager of these lads

1461
01:27:48,180 --> 01:27:50,012
who have done such a wonderful job.

01:27:53,977 --> 01:27:56,344
Finally, up the Reds!

- Up the Reds!
- (CHEERING)

1465
01:28:05,489 --> 01:28:07,981
(REPORTER)
So, as Sir Matt receives his accolade,

1466
01:28:08,074 --> 01:28:09,815
doubters will still ask,

1467
01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:14,370
since he's already known and revered
by every football fan in the country,

1468
01:28:14,456 --> 01:28:18,370
what does the tap on the shoulder
and the use of a "sir" before his name

1469
01:28:18,460 --> 01:28:19,996
really add up to?

1470
01:28:21,838 --> 01:28:25,672
(JOURNALIST) How did your mother react
when this boy from the pitman's cottage

1471
01:28:25,759 --> 01:28:27,545
became Sir Matt Busby?

1472
01:28:28,414 --> 01:28:30,714
(MATT BUSBY) I know it made her
a very proud woman.

1473
01:28:30,967 --> 01:28:32,345
She sent a telegram:

1474
01:28:32,432 --> 01:28:34,362
"Dear Sir Matt Boss." (LAUGHS)

1475
01:28:34,495 --> 01:28:36,850
- Which is...
- That's sweet!

1476
01:28:36,937 --> 01:28:39,224
- She must have been very, very thrilled.
- Oh, yeah.

1477
01:28:40,220 --> 01:28:50,046


1478
01:28:53,161 --> 01:28:56,199
- (MATT BUSBY) Good morning, everyone.
- Morning.

1479
01:29:00,460 --> 01:29:04,078
"Sir Matt has informed the board
that he wishes to relinquish

1480
01:29:04,172 --> 01:29:08,587
the position of team manager
at the end of the present season.

1481
01:29:09,678 --> 01:29:13,421
The chairman and directors have tried
to persuade him to carry on

1482
01:29:13,515 --> 01:29:18,153
and it was only with great reluctance
that his request has been accepted."

1483
01:29:18,353 --> 01:29:19,809
(MAN)
One, take one.

1484
01:29:19,896 --> 01:29:21,933
(JOURNALIST) This is a job
you really wanted, isn't it?

1485
01:29:22,065 --> 01:29:25,558
Er... Well, yes.
It's something you dream about.

1486
01:29:25,652 --> 01:29:27,643
I've dreamt about now and again.

1487
01:29:27,737 --> 01:29:30,399
(WILF MCGUINNESS)
I was so proud that he chose me.

1488
01:29:30,490 --> 01:29:33,027
And I'll always be proud of that,
you can't take that away,

1489
01:29:33,118 --> 01:29:34,529
that I was the one he chose.

1490
01:29:35,161 --> 01:29:37,072
(JOURNALIST) Sir Matt, you appear
to have given Wilf McGuinness

1491
01:29:37,163 --> 01:29:40,204
all the responsibilities of team manager
without the actual title.

1492
01:29:40,301 --> 01:29:41,737
Is there a reason for this?

1493
01:29:42,043 --> 01:29:47,163
I've listened to his observations at matches
and half-time match, and so on.

1494
01:29:47,257 --> 01:29:50,221
And I thought, "Well,
that's exactly the way I felt about it."

1495
01:29:50,368 --> 01:29:52,713
We were all amazed that Wilf McGuinness
got the job in actual fact.

1496
01:29:52,804 --> 01:29:54,886
I think Wilf might have been surprised
as well.

1497
01:29:55,015 --> 01:29:57,097
(JOURNALIST) Will you stress
to the present players

1498
01:29:57,142 --> 01:29:59,759
- that he has full authority?
- (MATT BUSBY) Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

1499
01:29:59,853 --> 01:30:02,686
(JOURNALIST) What would be your reaction
should he drop George Best?

1500
01:30:02,981 --> 01:30:06,394
If he feels he's dropped George Best,
that's Wilf McGuinness' business.

1501
01:30:06,484 --> 01:30:09,772
He dropped Bobby, he dropped Denis,
he dropped me, he dropped George,

1502
01:30:09,821 --> 01:30:13,655
he dropped Paddy, he dropped everybody,
to make a point.

1503
01:30:13,909 --> 01:30:16,571
He was infantile in his approach.

1504
01:30:16,620 --> 01:30:20,370
And he had this... if you got caught
with your hands in your pockets,

1505
01:30:20,473 --> 01:30:22,180
you had to do ten press-ups.

1506
01:30:22,584 --> 01:30:27,070
It was cold, raining, muddy.
We were all in tracksuits.

1507
01:30:27,244 --> 01:30:30,032
And Bobby in his suit,
he's got his hands in his pocket.

1508
01:30:30,175 --> 01:30:34,134
And Wilf said, "Oh, Bobby,
you know the rules, ten press-ups."

1509
01:30:35,055 --> 01:30:36,966
And there was silence.
(CHUCKLES)

1510
01:30:37,849 --> 01:30:39,305
And he did them.

1511
01:30:40,226 --> 01:30:41,151
He did them.

1512
01:30:41,224 --> 01:30:43,886
I think Wilf got sacked the day after.

1513
01:30:44,522 --> 01:30:47,935
At last night's meeting,
when young Wilf's job

1514
01:30:48,026 --> 01:30:51,144
of team manager was relinquished,

1515
01:30:51,237 --> 01:30:54,696
the directors asked me if I'd go in
and take over for the time being.

1516
01:30:54,783 --> 01:30:56,649
The club is the thing
and in view of that,

1517
01:30:56,743 --> 01:31:00,281
I just come in as a part-timer.

1518
01:31:00,914 --> 01:31:04,828
We won the European Cup in 1968.

1519
01:31:04,918 --> 01:31:07,751
Everything since that seems
to have been an anti-climax.

1520
01:31:09,214 --> 01:31:11,251
Who do you blame? I...

1521
01:31:11,703 --> 01:31:15,300
I would think it stems from the fact
that United were on top for so long

1522
01:31:15,387 --> 01:31:18,254
that unless you're in a position
to recognise it

1523
01:31:18,348 --> 01:31:22,182
and recognise that you need change,
that you're gonna fail.

1524
01:31:23,770 --> 01:31:25,642
I was 22.

1525
01:31:25,855 --> 01:31:29,268
I wasn't going to reach my peak
for another seven or eight years.

1526
01:31:29,359 --> 01:31:32,067
And I listened to everyone
talking about how this is it,

1527
01:31:32,153 --> 01:31:34,144
we've achieved
what we set out to achieve.

1528
01:31:34,232 --> 01:31:36,580
And it seemed like they were talking
as if it was all over.

1529
01:31:36,700 --> 01:31:39,253
I was only starting, which hurt me,

1530
01:31:39,332 --> 01:31:41,619
y'know, because Manchester United
had been my whole life.

1531
01:31:42,706 --> 01:31:44,136
(MATT BUSBY) When I came out,

1532
01:31:44,290 --> 01:31:49,376
I was going to enjoy a peaceful life
and enjoy watching Manchester United play

1533
01:31:49,421 --> 01:31:51,412
but it hasn't been that way.

1534
01:31:52,382 --> 01:31:55,420
(JOURNALIST) How much of a crisis is
Manchester United in at the moment?

1535
01:31:56,219 --> 01:31:59,382
(MATT BUSBY) Well, everyone that's
struggling at the bottom of the League

1536
01:31:59,500 --> 01:32:00,803
has a crisis on their hands.

1537
01:32:00,890 --> 01:32:03,024
(JOURNALIST) Do you feel the board
can accept any blame at all?

1538
01:32:03,131 --> 01:32:04,496
(MATT BUSBY)
I don't think so.

1539
01:32:05,020 --> 01:32:07,261
(DISTANT CHEERING)

1540
01:32:07,355 --> 01:32:08,561
(COMMENTATOR)
Lee.

1541
01:32:10,108 --> 01:32:12,395
- Pulled across for Law!
- (CHEERING)

1542
01:32:13,611 --> 01:32:15,602
Denis has done it!

1543
01:32:16,448 --> 01:32:19,816
But no elation there at all
from Denis Law.

1544
01:32:20,618 --> 01:32:24,407
So that presumably
is the end of the game.

1545
01:32:24,497 --> 01:32:30,459
And the end of Manchester United's
36 years unbroken run

1546
01:32:30,545 --> 01:32:31,956
in the First Division.

1547
01:32:33,131 --> 01:32:34,997
(JOURNALIST)
Was he very impossible to replace?

1548
01:32:35,091 --> 01:32:37,458
(BOBBY CHARLTON) I don't think anybody's
impossible to replace really.

1549
01:32:37,552 --> 01:32:40,340
The person who takes over will have
to be just equally as good, I'm afraid.

1550
01:32:40,430 --> 01:32:44,089
(JOURNALIST) This must be an inhibiting
effect on those who try to succeed you.

1551
01:32:44,267 --> 01:32:46,053
(MATT BUSBY) I can't understand that.

1552
01:32:46,102 --> 01:32:51,142
Applications are invited
from managers with experience

1553
01:32:51,232 --> 01:32:52,688
and proven ability.

1554
01:32:52,776 --> 01:32:56,996
(BOBBY CHARLTON) It was always there,
you know, this overpowering

1555
01:32:57,092 --> 01:33:00,130
bearing on the place, y'know,
that you could never get away from.

1556
01:33:00,658 --> 01:33:01,773
Until Alex.

1557
01:33:02,077 --> 01:33:04,489
(JOURNALIST 1) Success is positively demanded
at Old Trafford

1558
01:33:04,579 --> 01:33:06,536
and the fact that it is now 20 seasons

1559
01:33:06,623 --> 01:33:08,489
since Manchester United
won the championship

1560
01:33:08,583 --> 01:33:11,120
has ultimately cost Ron Atkinson his job.

1561
01:33:11,795 --> 01:33:14,878
(JOURNALIST 2) The Scot becomes the sixth
to try to follow Sir Matt Busby.

1562
01:33:15,006 --> 01:33:17,964
He's Lanarkshire. I'm from Govan.
There's a difference.

(CHEERING)

1564
01:33:26,518 --> 01:33:29,852

comparisons started to come out.

1565
01:33:30,063 --> 01:33:32,100
(COMMENTATOR)
It's the chance of a lifetime.

1566
01:33:32,941 --> 01:33:34,056
A treble chance,

1567
01:33:34,150 --> 01:33:38,485
the likes of which no English team
has had before or may ever get again.

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

(CHEERING)

1570
01:33:49,582 --> 01:33:53,621
Sir Alex instilled into us
what Sir Matt had in his teams.

1571
01:33:53,711 --> 01:33:56,328
Entertaining football,
getting the fans off their feet

1572
01:33:56,381 --> 01:33:58,748
with that working-class mentality

1573
01:33:58,842 --> 01:34:02,756
that even if you were having a bad game,
you would always put a shift in.

1574
01:34:11,980 --> 01:34:14,768
(COMMENTATOR) Three added minutes.
Can Manchester United score?

1575
01:34:14,816 --> 01:34:16,807
They always score.

1576
01:34:16,832 --> 01:34:19,427
- The big goalie's coming up.
- Peter Schmeichel is forward.

1577
01:34:19,494 --> 01:34:20,840
Can he score another in Europe?

1578
01:34:20,890 --> 01:34:22,676
- He's got one in Europe already.
- Beckham.

1579
01:34:22,780 --> 01:34:25,147
In towards Schmeichel.
It's come for Dwight Yorke!

1580
01:34:26,119 --> 01:34:28,451
Clear. Giggs with a shot!
Sheringham!

(CHEERING)

1584
01:34:39,007 --> 01:34:39,872
Beckham.

1585
01:34:40,300 --> 01:34:43,008
Into Sheringham.
And Solskjaer has got it!

1586
01:34:43,094 --> 01:34:46,462
Manchester United
are the champions of Europe again

1587
01:34:46,556 --> 01:34:51,471
and nobody will ever win a European Cup final
more dramatically than this.

1588
01:34:51,561 --> 01:34:53,427
Oh, it'll all be rushing back to him now.

1589
01:35:02,447 --> 01:35:04,279
(MATT BUSBY)
Feel a sense of romance.

1590
01:35:05,283 --> 01:35:08,742
Wonder. Mystery. A sense of beauty.

1591
01:35:08,995 --> 01:35:10,656
And a sense of poetry.

1592
01:35:11,414 --> 01:35:14,247
Because on such occasions,
the game is larger than life.

1593
01:35:15,418 --> 01:35:19,787
There's something of the timeless,
magical quality of legend.
