The world of the professional football manager is one in which danger and uncertainty about the future hover over every match the team plays.

Sir Matt Busby was one of the best managers world has ever seen. Busby and his team began the 1957–58 season full of ambition for an assault on the Football League title, FA Cup and European Cup. On the way home from a European Cup tie against Red Star Belgrade on 6 February 1958, their plane crashed on the runway at Munich Airport. Seven players and three club officials were among the 23 people who were killed at the scene. United lost many of their high prolific players. Many predicted sympathetically that it was the end of United. But beating all odds Busby successfully rebuilt United, as he guided them to a 3–1 victory over Leicester City in the 1963 FA Cup Final. They were league champions in 1965 and again in 1967 with the best yet to come. The biggest success of his career came on 29 May 1968 when the team won the European Cup. The competition Manchester United won for the first time in their history. Busby brought United from zero to hero. With all the pride and popularity brought from those days United still remains as the most popular Football club in the planet. Players tend to live up to their managers expectations of them.
