Description

The definitive history of Manchester United's rise from being an 'ordinary' side in the 30s to a force in post-war English football.

Discover the story of Matt Busby, Jimmy Murphy and the birth of the 'Babes' - the players, the games, the Building of the Dynasty.

Having had the foresight to appoint an untried manager in Busby, the former Manchester City star overcame the challenge of having no home ground and cobbled together a United side to win the league and FA Cup.

A lack of financial power saw the club embark on a youth development scheme under Murphy.

Crowned First Division champions again in 1956, Busby took his youngsters to compete against the great sides in the fledgling European Cup; but it was a determination that was to prove fatal in Munich in 1958, on the homeward journey from a quarter-final tie in Belgrade.

The unfulfilled dream had become a nightmare.
