DEATH OF SIR MATT BUSBY OBE

That this House regrets the death of Sir Matt Busby, former manager of Manchester United, and founder of the 'Busby babes'; recalls the significant contribution he made to football, particularly in Manchester; also recalls his contribution to the game when he was a professional footballer with Liverpool F.C., where he will be remembered with deep affection as a classic half back and cultured player in both cities; and believes that, in the games of football, he will always be remembered as a great sportsman and a true gentleman.
