Sir Alexander Matthew "Matt" Busby was a Scottish football player and manager, most noted for managing Manchester United between 1945–1969 and again for the 1970–1971 season.
He is the longest serving manager in the history of Manchester United, ahead of Alex Ferguson.
Before going into management, Busby was a player for two of Manchester United's greatest rivals, Manchester City and Liverpool. During his time at City, Busby played in three FA Cup Finals, winning one of them. After his playing career was interrupted by the Second World War, Busby was offered the job of assistant coach at Liverpool, but they were unwilling to give him the control over the team that he wanted and he took the vacant manager's job at Manchester United instead.
He died of cancer, and will live long in the minds of friends family and fans..
Sir Matt x
The mention of his name
May bring tears to our eyes,
But it never fails to bring
Music to our ears.
If you are really our friend,
Let us hear
the beautiful music of his name.
It soothes our broken hearts
and sings love to our soul.
