Today I will be talking about my footballing idol Sir Matt Busby! Some Facts:
1.He is the longest serving manager in the history of Manchester United.
2.Initially he wanted to serve as manager of Liverpool F.C. but couldn't, so he went on to manage Manchester United F.C.
3.He was made an inaugural inductee of the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002 in recognition of his impact on the English game.
4.He also saw the rise of a group of talented young players nicknamed the "Busby Babes".
What impressed me about Sir Busby was that he did not give up managing his team even after the Munich air disaster which saw the loss of so many of the players in his team. He even managed to lead the team to greater heights by winning the European Cup (UEFA Champions League). I was really impressed by this as I don't think many would have the determination to continue with their careers after such a horrific experience.
