RIP Albert Scanlon
Albert Scanlon was 22 when the Munich Air Disaster occurred and he suffered terrible head injuries and a broken leg in the crash. Recovered and played well for several years on the wing, scoring 16 league goals the season after the crash.
Born in Hulme, Scanlon came through United's youth system and made his début for Sir Matt's first team when he was just 19-years-old.
