About this listen

Manchester United's rich history spans almost 150 years. Yet the essence of everything the club is about the story, the romance, and the tragedy can be found in the span of a decade from 1958 to 1968 from the Munich Air disaster to the winning of the European Cup. Matt Busby's personal mission, his drive, his ambition to create a team that was the very best. This is that story told through interviews you've never heard, you'll hear from a number of key individuals, Bobby Charlton, Bill Folkes, George Best, Dennis Law, Brian Kidd, Jackie Blanchflower, Albert Scanlan, and even Busby himself in interviews from the 1970s, 80s, and 90s.
