| Manchester Utd are probably England's most famous
club; they were formed in 1878 as Newton Heath and elected to Division
1 in 1892. The pre-war years saw the league championship at Old Trafford
twice whilst the FA Cup was won in 1909 but since the second World
War, they have been far more successful under two different managers.
The first was Sir Matt Busby who arrived in 1945 and won 5 league
championships and 2 FA Cups. Tragedy befell Utd in 1958 when their
young team known as the 'Busby Babes' was decimated in an air crash
in Munich while returning from a European Cup tie in Belgrade. However,
10 years later, a team including greats like Bobby Charlton and George
Best became the first ever English team to lift the European Cup,
beating Benfica 4-1 in the final. Flamboyant managers such as Tommy
Docherty and Ron Atkinson followed but none could bring the championship
back to Old Trafford. Scot Alex Ferguson was appointed in 1986 and
to begin with, it looked as though he would go the same way as his
predecessors. However, the FA Cup win of 1990 heralded the start of
good times which were continued with the European Cup Winners Cup
success a year later. In 1992, Utd grabbed defeat from the jaws of
victory as their late slip-up handed Leeds Utd the title but the advent
of the Premier League finally saw them triumph 26 years after their
previous title win. The following season saw Utd better this by winning
the double (beating Chelsea 4-0 in the FA Cup final).They are the
only club to achieve the double double. As if that were not enough,
the 98/99 season saw them achieve the unthinkable - the treble |
