The story

In the autumn of 1956 manager Matt Busby and his gives Bobby Charlton his debut with Manchester United's first team, nicknamed the "Busby Babes" due to their unique pedigree as an almost entirely club-nurtured team of players, under the guidance of Busby and assistant manager Jimmy Murphy, with the exception of a few slightly older players who have been purchased from other clubs. These younger players include centre-half Mark Jones, left-half Duncan Edwards, right-half Eddie Colman and outside left David Pegg. A rare signing is then made when Busby signs Northern Irish goalkeeper Harry Gregg in late 1957.
