67 years ago today the Busby Babes played their last game on British soil. It was a famous 5-4 victory over Arsenal at Highbury. My dad was there and the wonderful Patrick Barclay interviewed him about that game a few years ago. Here it is:

Rashford: sad it ended badly. Local lad who made it. Scored/made goals, won trophies. Should be a terrace hero but recency bias strong. Sauntered around the pitch when team needed leaders. Outside noise / pressure not helped but much was self inflicted. Thanks for memories #mufc

13 years ago we lost my cousin John 'Kilburn' Mettis. Kilburn was a very well known Cockney Red and a major reason why I'm a red. Sadly missed. Much loved. Always remembered. RIP John. 🔴⚪️⚫️

Braverman tells us she has SEEN the wall Italy has built on their "land border" with Turkey. Thick, incompetent or both? Will surely be picked up by @quietriotpod.bsky.social @therestpolitics.bsky.social @thenewsagents.com @thetrawl.bsky.social

It's a Christmas tradition so I was at the game yesterday. A horrible watch and for long periods in the first half it was very negative in the stands.

Newcastle were excellent. Their midfield bullied and outclassed Casemiro and Eriksen. Where do #mufc go from here? 🧵

On this day in 1994 Man United beat Galatasaray 4-0 in the Champions League Group Stage.
I was there. Now 30 years later one of the those players' sons' is my son's flatmate! #mufc

Received the 'Icons' edition of @thesefootballtimes.shoptoday. Beautiful descriptions of these legends of the beautiful game. Delighted Zico made the cut.
I'm assuming there will be an version 2.0? Where's Robson? Zanetti? Gento? Baresi? Del Piero? Zlatan?

Great eBay find arrived today.
My football idol growing up, Zico, adorns the cover of this 1982 Shoot magazine. Beautiful isn't it?

Still tragic what they did to the #mufc badge. All in the name of commercialism...🥲

Showing appreciation on this new platform for my favourite author @waynesbarton.bsky.social
This is 'Barton's Shelf' on my book case. I can't thank Wayne enough for the incredible books (quality and quantity!) he has written that have elevated my understanding of #mufc to a higher level.
