B for Busby Babes

The Melancholy. The Miserable. A group of Manchester United lads led by the legendary Sir Matt Busby, who were destined to rule the European football, were annihilated by one of the most horrible air disaster in Munich on 1958. The term Busby Babes, coined by British journalist Frank Nicklin back on 1951, became immortal in the football history, which moulded Manchester United into the football club it is today.
