Ferguson hails Busby Babe Scanlon

MANCHESTER UNITED manage Alex Ferguson led the tributes to “Busby Babe” Albert Scanlon, describing him as a “pleasant and delightful man.”

Scanlon, who has died yesterday at the age of 74, made his debut at 19 for Matt Busby’s first team in 1954.

He then survived the Munich disaster four years later and went on to feature in all 42 league games for the club the following season.
