Old photograph of Matt Busby who was born in 1909 to Alexander and Nellie Busby in a two roomed Miner's cottage in the mining village of Orbiston by Bellshill in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. Sir Alexander Matthew " Matt " Busby, CBE, KCSG was a Scottish football player and manager, who managed Manchester United between 1945 and 1969 and again for the second half of the 1970–71 season. 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 two 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.
