Everything about The Busby Babes totally explained
The
Busby Babes were a group of
Manchester United players, recruited and trained by the club's assistant manager
Jimmy Murphy, who progressed from the club's youth team into the first team under the management of the
eponymous
Matt Busby.
The Busby Babes were notable not only for being young and gifted, but for being developed by the club itself, rather than bought from other clubs, which was customary then, as now. The term, supposedly coined by
Manchester Evening News journalist Tom Jackson, usually refers to the players who won the league championship in seasons
1955-56 and
1956-57 with an average age of 21 and 22 respectively.
Eight of the Busby Babes died in the
Munich air disaster in 1958 including
Duncan Edwards, who was regarded as potentially being the greatest of them all. The last remaining player from the pre-Munich side,
Bobby Charlton, retired from playing in 1975.
