Manchester United Remembered: Busby Babe Albert Scanlon’s Funeral

All English football fans – besides the lucky few who back the winners – are upset. Goes the mantra: Anyone but them. But some things unite. The deaths of Manchester United footballers in the Munich air crash is one of those things. Busby Babe Albert Scanlon has been buried. A sad day. A day to remember:
