The interview of a football Legend Sir Matt Busby. The guy who revolutionalised football on the whole world. Meet him appreciating the talent of Erick Cantona
@@CPTM1 What a ridiculous response !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alex Maley (26 May 1874 - 20 September 1949) was a Scottish football manager and journalist. He was the younger brother of Tom Maley and Willie Maley. Alex Maley managed a number of clubs in Scotland and England, including Clyde, Clydebank, Hibernian and Crystal Palace.[1] Maley became manager of Crystal Palace in November 1925,[2] and oversaw thirteenth- and sixth-place finishes in Division Three in 1926 and 1927 respectively.[3] However, the next season started poorly and after a succession of defeats Maley resigned in October 1927,[2] and returned to Scotland where he had a second spell as manager of Clydebank.[3] He later served as a director of Hibernian.[3] About as successful as my dog at tennis.
'If I have seen further than others it is only because I am standing on the shoulders of giants' Sir Isaac Newton. Pep know's he's standing on the shoulders of giants even if the media don't.
Tavy@ sir matt was willing to die for man utd like so many others even going back on a plane took guts, but it just showed you even death didnt stop sir matt and his players after what happend in munich. That just shows you football was there life and in there blood. Thats why God had to give them george best just at the right time in 1961 at only age 15 then at 17 in 1963 he made his debut. Then in 1965 they won the leauge. I believe in 1966 if george best wasnt injured and missesd there european cup semi final man utd wouldv won the european cup that year. Then again in 1968 with George Best who was now unstoppable and being too good at times for referees as well. He was doing things on the park referees didnt know if it was allowed. By 1965 to 1972 best was by far the greatest player in the world. Like the game in 1969 against rapid vienna at old trafford of the quarter final of the european cup is a game i never get sick of watching best and how he tore them apart with 2 brilliant goals with his left foot. He goes on a run where he beats 5 players from his own half to there penalty box then passes to charlton and it was an obvous 1 two, then charlton hits it about 8ft in the air? Ffs. I believe bobby meant to fuck that run up becouse if george got the ball back to his feet it wouldv been the best goal ever scored at old trafford. A thot bobby why did you just do that you jealous bastard. As if he was in georges class or better lol the next 3 years of what genius best did on that park just brushed bobby and denis well aside. I read in bests autobiography he wrote 'bobby would see me unmarked then turn away and pass it to some one else when i couldv scored. He still wanted or thot he was the best player at the club. I asked him to his face one monday morning as we stood ready to train in late 1971 "whats your problem with me" he said 'i dont have a problem' and i said 'bobby dont kid a kidder, you saw me at least 7 times unmarked and you still held it and held it till you lost it or gave it to some one who was marked and couldnt go any where, have you thought about retiring becouse denis law is and paddy we need younger players' but he said 'i dont have a problem'
This episode is from November 3, 1973.... Matt lived long enough to see Brian Clough win the league again with Forest and win the European Cup twice.... I wonder if his opinion on Clough changed 😁
Don't think he criticised Clough football wise just Brian's style media wise wasn't the done thing then.....he wanted to be noticed just took a different route which became accepted ,entertaining with the rise of TV coverage and novel.
@@Gerard_2024”Ooh Nobby Nobby, Nobby Nobby Nobby Nobby, Nobby Stiles,” more about the melody than the lyrics, really. Unlike: “When you’re sat in Row Z & the ball hits your head, That’s Zamora,” which has it all.
@@TheDOJ-n9teen6t8 Never touch the stuff. That comment though - some time ago. If only our fore bearers could whisper to us their stories, even if only as they knew them. Have you ever been to Holmfirth? It translates from the middle english into holly wood. Nascent films - very freudian???
I can pinpoint this for you Chris. Sir Matt's autobiography was published in autumn 1973. He is asked about Brian Clough, who had just been appointed as manager of Brighton on 1st November '73, so this interview will be in the week after. He resigned from Derby mid-October (along with Peter Taylor) and one of the many controversies, which resulted in the bust up with Chairman Sam Longson and the Board at Derby, was that Longson had demanded that Clough apologised to Sir Matt for turning towards the stand and giving the v-sign to him at a recent match between the teams. Clough admitted the v-sign but said it was directed at Longson, not Sir Matt ! He had appeared on the Michael Parkinson show himself following his resignation from Derby mid-October, so I would think that Sir Matt would have guessed that the question of 'managerial styles' would be popping up in his own appearance with Parky a few weeks later...
@@johnnyonenote376 Thank you for that brilliant answer and for the context. I’m a long-time fan of Manchester Utd since the mid 80s, but this was very insightful since it was a little bit before my time. Sir Matt and Clough are both legends of the game in my eyes, so this was a very interesting insight. Cheers
@@MyHarrietHarper No problem, it's a pleasure to give some context. The reason I know so much about it was that I was brought up in Derby and lived in the same suburb as Brian Clough. Derby had won the (then) Division 1 Championship the previous year and again in '75 under the great Dave Mackay. It was a great time to be growing up. Players and managers seemed much more approachable in those days. I remember Peter Taylor being at the Baseball Ground on a Saturday and then saw him on the Sunday morning, on the local recreation ground getting soaking wet in his anorak and wellies, enthusiastically cheering on our Sunday league team. Of course (Peter being Peter) he was looking for talented young players to trial. There were truly great players and teams and Sir Matt Busby was at the top in the 1960s in the way he rebuilt Man United. A good match to watch is the 1970/71 Watney Cup final - there is a 54 minute video up here on this platform. Man United had a temporary dip in the early 1970s (following Sir Matt's retirement) but Derby certainly couldn't match United's achievements in the following 40 years !
Brilliant manager who was ahead of his time. Their on about using sin bins today. He is right about they joy being taken out of football. Its gone too tactical and players today are more athletic. Skill has been replaced by power. As for statistics , what a load of rubbish.
George Best was undoubtedly an all time great, I would argue the greatest ever produced in the British Isles. But the very idea he can be considered better than Maradona or Pele is delusional, he simply was not.

George Best was undoubtedly an all time great, I would argue the greatest ever produced in the British Isles. But the very idea he can be considered better than Maradona or Pele is delusional, he simply was not.
