    • Synopsis
    • Sir Matt Busby is one of the greatest, most influential football managers of all-time. During 25 years in charge of Manchester United his charisma, vision and steel revolutionised the beautiful game, turning Manchester United from the second-best team in their home city into one of the most iconic names in sport.

      His youthful "Busby Babes" team captivated a generation and, after they were decimated by the Munich air crash, he somehow found the strength to rebuild, nurturing superstars like Bobby Charlton and George Best before leading them to European glory. Matt Busby did not just change football - he changed the world of sport forever.

      Directed by Joe Pearlman, BUSBY combines previously unseen archive footage with interviews with those who knew Busby best including the remaining 'Busby Babes' and members of the 1968 European Cup winning team, the 'Class of '92', and others
