The next day, they boarded their flight home, landing in Munich to refuel. But it never took off again in Munich. The plane crashed, claiming the lives of 23 people, including 8 players. This is the story of how Manchester United and Matt Busby led the most inspirational comeback to claim the league title and the European Cup. This is the fourteenth in a series, written by Jonathan Wilson, exploring the entire history of football. Illustrated by Philippe Fenner.
