Today Manchester United is the most powerful football club in England. The most expensive football players in the world play for MU, and the fan base comprises millions of people. But in 1958, the very existence of this great football club was threatened.

In the new issue of “How It Was,” we will tell you about the Munich disaster: the plane crash at Munich airport that killed the Busby Babes - the golden squad of Manchester United. You will find out what led to the tragedy and whether the aircraft's commander, Captain James Thain could have prevented it. We will also recall what helped survive the star goal scorer Bobby Charlton and several other passengers and how Manchester United coach Jimmy Murphy managed to create a new team in a matter of days after the fateful crash.
