My dad, whose unshakable adoration of George Best which led me down the Red path that I've walked every day for over 45 years, sadly entered his eternal sleep earlier today. I'll see you later dad, love you more than you'll ever know xx 😢🙏

#OTD 7th of April 1956:

The Busby Babes secured their first league title by beating Blackpool 2-1

It's the morning of another Cup Final. At the Man United hotel, manager Tommy Docherty relaxes at breakfast with a copy of Roy of the Rovers. This concludes the series of Roy/Man U photos. Worth saying that no payments were involved. It was all done for free!

🇾🇪Utd Before Fergie🇾🇪 No hands in pockets. Total respect for Sir Matt🫡

Continuing the series of photos taken at Man United's hotel on the day before a Cup Final, here's the moment when manager Tommy Docherty offered Roy a contract to sign for United. He even supplied a pen! Roy said he was totally happy at Melchester Rovers!

john williams One Norman Whiteside 🇾🇪Utd Before Fergie🇾🇪 Me too. Same day as both scouse teams in cup semis. Lots of aggro witnessed on way back to coach station. Waited on a corner for a football paper and got moved on by police.

Good news! Ron Atkinson is still kicking at 85. “Big Ron”, who looked like he’d be at home on Bullseye as well as Match Of The Day, was a top manager, winning the FA Cup twice with #ManUnited , & an entertaining, straight talking TV pundit. Even went into #CelebrityBigBrother .

Good morning to you all hope you have a good day.

🇾🇪Utd Before Fergie🇾🇪 Stunning picture that one, I don't think I've seen it before. I love how the players head's are all bowed slightly almost in reverance.

Marvellous photo of Sir Matt at Old Trafford with 3 of his wonderful 'Babes' - Duncan Edwards, Jackie Blanchflower and David Pegg #mufc

My favourite fa cup final goal 🥅. Wish it was 2-2 and not in the 4-0 replay. Loved that player every time 🕰️ he played including finishing with qpr . The captain 👩‍✈️

DUNCAN EDWARDS.
The greatest.
Love the art work United Arts 🔴⚪️⚫️

🇾🇪Utd Before Fergie🇾🇪 Class act RIP 🙏

🇾🇪Utd Before Fergie🇾🇪 Padraic Toolan We have some great cup final goals but his is up there with the best of them.

🇾🇪Utd Before Fergie🇾🇪 What a sublime, cultured player. Smooth as silk.

Also a great commentator/pundit, and an even better person.

🇾🇪Utd Before Fergie🇾🇪 Great player, undoubtedly in the, “under rated,” category. Not spectacular, but oozed class. Lovely manner about him too. Incredibly sad to hear about his battles with alcohol. Continue to RIP Butch 🙏. Nice touch for him to be remembered again 👏👍
