But God still took Sir Busby away. On January 1994, 1, the legendary hero of Manchester United and the patron saint of the Red Devils-Sir Busby passed away.

"Matt failed in another game. He lost to the ubiquitous cancer cells. But he told us that he has tried his best, please don't be too sad." Busby's family informed the Manchester United board of directors on the phone.

The bad news hit most United people, and grief quickly flooded the world of United people like a tsunami.

Although we have prepared, although people have gradually adapted to and accepted that Busby’s exclusive seat has become vacant during Manchester United’s home games, although Manchester United’s news has become less and less contacted with this old man, although he has been out of Manchester United’s management for a long time and has never asked about Manchester United’s business and game affairs.

The glorious performance created by "Busby's baby" will remain in the annals of history forever, and Busby's protection of Manchester United is also a strong foundation for the Red Devils to move forward.

Ferguson was devastated to hear of Sir Busby's death.

Busby and Ferguson are both Scots, and they may have the same code in their blood and genes.For Ferguson, Busby is even more kind to him.

Before Ferguson coached Manchester United, he had personally asked Busby for advice on how to lead the team.In the early days of Manchester United's coaching, Busby gave him selfless help and firm support.

In the most difficult season of Ferguson, Busby still trusted him and did not say anything bad about Ferguson in the media. This legendary old man was more of a positive encouragement to the struggling Manchester United. He always believed that Manchester United would be able to regain its former glory under the leadership of Ferguson.

Even Busby gave Ferguson good advice on youth training, locker room management, dealing with the media and so on.The Manchester United youth training system established by Ferguson has the shadow of Busby's Manchester United training camp back then. Ferguson's iron fist and gentleness in the locker room also have some traces of Busby. Only in the field of dealing with the media, the two Scots are very different.

Ferguson said in an interview: "This is a sad day. Manchester United has lost its spiritual patron saint. I have lost one of the best predecessors. I will never forget the constructive opinions and wise suggestions Matt gave me. I will never forget his kind face. I will never forget his care and love for Manchester United and me. He is one of the founders of Manchester United's spirit and tradition. He is undoubtedly the best coach of Manchester United."

Another legend of Manchester United - Busby's former lover - Red Devils' meritorious service Charlton said, "I lost the best teacher. The scene of us playing football together is still vivid. I still remember his fearless courage, firm determination, and our unimaginable wisdom." Recalling the old days, Charlton was too sad to say more words, "I always think that Matt is Manchester United. We play for Matt and win for him. We still try our best at the end of every game. , in order not to disappoint Matt."

Bobby Charlton recalled, "When we lost the game, the most difficult thing to face was Matt, not the fans. There was a unique gentleness in his sad eyes. He seemed to know all the hard work we put in for him, but we still blamed ourselves. We should be more involved in the game and work harder. He is like a father, and sometimes like our friend."

In an interview, Dennis Law also recalled those years, "I was completely attracted by Coach Busby. His fighting spirit and great goals inspired me."

Mr. Golden Globe, who was famous for his endless bad fouls and persistent pranks on the court, said, "Coach Busby gave us unlimited freedom, taught us how to meet challenges on the court, and also taught us how to show passion and win. We will always remember that he told us that it's time to perform, to conquer the opponent and get cheers. No matter how we behave, how arrogant or fierce, how to completely defeat the opponent's resistance—sometimes the three of us will pass all the opponent's defenders, and then in the goal Passed back and forth, he was always the pinnacle behind our backs in the face of accusations from reporters."

Cantona, who has always been rebellious, spoke solemnly on behalf of Manchester United's first team. "We swear by our lives that our football will always be red and passionate. We will uphold and carry forward Matt's spirit and look for integrity, fearlessness and victory in football. That is the value of Busby and us." Cantona said: "Busby's spirit will always inspire us to move forward. We will keep his teachings in mind, pay tribute to him with wonderful football, and prove to the fans that we are worthy of the pride of the Red Devils." .”

Busby passed away, and the entire Manchester United world was mourning. Although many Red Devils were prepared in their hearts before, when the bad news really came, grief easily defeated those fans who had been praying.

The Cliff Base and the Old Trafford Stadium have become places of mourning, where every green grass, every tree, and every light is carrying the sadness of the fans.

The outer wall of the stadium is covered with jerseys, cards and notes sent by fans, and Busby's exclusive seat in the Theater of Dreams is full of flowers sent by fans.On the stands of the stadium, a huge commemorative banner was hung up, and countless slogans were flying in the west stand.

The road next to the stadium named "Busby Road" is full of wreaths and cards sent by fans, and those lampposts are covered with commemorative ribbons. The flying yellow-green (this is the color of Manchester United's earliest jersey) ribbons is the fans' eternal memory of Busby.

The confession of an unknown Manchester United fan at the memorial service has become a classic for Red Devils fans to miss Busby. "We will remember that we love this legendary club. Busby has brought us glory. That is our ultimate honor. We will not lose what Busby entrusted us with. We will always support Manchester United, support Manchester United's wonderful football, maintain the tradition that Busby has established for Manchester United, and never give up for victory!"

Busby served as Manchester United's head coach in 1945 and left until 1969. He also coached briefly for half a season from 1970 to 1971. He has coached Manchester United for more than 23 years.

After leaving, Busby also joined the Manchester United management. It can be said that Busby has almost dedicated his life to Manchester United.

Busby won the first Champions League trophy for Manchester United, won five League One titles, and an FA Cup. He forged two generations of legends for Manchester United and brought out a group of talented Busby babies. Unfortunately, he experienced the Munich air disaster and witnessed the death of his players in the air crash.

There are still some clubs in this world that have the experience of Manchester United, but no coach can bear the pain of the death of eight favorite generals and three coaches, but Busby endured it. He not only defeated death, but also defeated disaster. He spent 10 years rebuilding a new dynasty for Manchester United, and using a Champions League to commemorate the colleagues and disciples of the air crash 10 years ago. This is a great achievement.

Although the two Manchester United dynasties he established were short-lived, no one will blame him, because only he has created miracles twice...

Busby had already defeated the god of death once, but this time he finally failed to defeat time.He passed away safely during Manchester United's triumphant season, bidding farewell to the team and home he had guarded for 23 years.Busby didn't want to cause any uneasiness, but the news still deeply shocked thousands of Red Devils fans and stirred up a sea of ​​grief among countless fans.

Let's suppress the surging emotions and look back at Busby's wonderful life as the Red Devils.
