My Take
Busby is one of those figures who redefined what a manager could be. Rebuilding Manchester United from the ground up, then doing it all over again after the Munich air disaster, speaks to a resilience I find genuinely moving. Becoming the first English-club manager to lift the European Cup is the headline, but for me the real measure of the man is the human warmth and patience that let him cultivate young talent for nearly a quarter-century. The honours are deserved, yet it is his quiet dignity in the face of tragedy that earns my deepest respect.
