Matt Busby, Tommy Docherty & David Sadler, Manchester United, original signed card, size 6 1/4 by 3 1/2in., each signed and inscribed in ink, very good condition Sir Alexander Matthew Busby CBE KCSG (26th May 1909 – 20th January 1994) was a Scottish football player and manager, who managed Manchester United between 1945 and 1969 and again for the second half of the 1970–71 season. He was the first manager of an English team to win the European Cup and is widely regarded as one of the greatest managers of all time. He took the vacant manager's job at Manchester United just after W.W.II, where he built the famous Busby Babes team. Eight of these players died in the Munich air disaster, but Busby rebuilt the side and United won the European Cup a decade later. In a total of 25 years with the club, he won 13 trophies. Thomas Henderson Docherty (24th April 1928 – 31st December 2020), commonly known as The Doc, was manager of Manchester United between 1972 and 1977, during which time they were relegated to the Second Division, but promoted back to the First Division as champions at the first attempt. In December 1972, Docherty attended a match that Manchester United lost 5-0 to Crystal Palace; in the Selhurst Park boardroom after the match he was offered the Manchester United job by Matt Busby. David Sadler (born 5th February 1946) is an English former footballer who was a skilful central defender who could also play usefully in midfield or even as a forward. Sadler signed a professional contract with Manchester United in 1963, helping the club win the 1965 and 1967 First Division Football League championships as well as the 1968 European Cup. He left United in 1974 after making 272 appearances and scoring 27 goals. He also gained four caps for England between 1967 and 1970.
