3. Sir Matt Busby
Clubs – Manchester United
Honours – Five League Titles, five Charity Shields, two FA Cups, one European Cup.
Busby was commited at Old Trafford for the long-term, aiming to build teams and legacies and wanting to take on the Goliath in Europe that was Real Madrid.
The Scot was well on his way to doing that when the Munich Air Disaster in 1958 tragically killed most of his squad.
Yet Busby battled on regardless and built another team that featured the legendary trio of George Best, Bobby Charlton and Denis Law – members of the first English team to win the European Cup in 1968.
