What influence has Sir Matt Busby had one the modern game?
“Undoubtedly, Sir Matt Busby was one of the great modern managers, and his approach to player development has been tremendously influential. One of Sir Matt’s greatest friends was Bill Shankly, the great Liverpool manager. I guess many Manchester people may not realise that Liverpool football club sent five players to Manchester United after that terrible tragedy so that they might continue fulfilling their fixtures. These were great men with a sense of community who, along with Jock Stein, were born within 15 miles of each other. These were men from mining communities who knew how groups of men worked together and how teams were built.
