They were, for a few short years, the most beautiful football team England had ever produced. Discovered by Joe Armstrong on schoolboy pitches from Dudley to Belfast, coached by Jimmy Murphy on the training ground at The Cliff, and unleashed by Matt Busby into the First Division while most of them were barely out of their teens.Episode Five is the story of the Busby Babes. We follow them from Duncan Edwards's debut at the age of sixteen years and one hundred and eighty-five days in April 1953, through the two league titles of 1955-56 and 1956-57 — won by teams whose average age was twenty-two, then twenty-one — into the club's first European Cup campaign against the opposition of the Football League. The 10-0 win against Anderlecht at Maine Road. The quarter-final comeback against Athletic Bilbao. The semi-final against Real Madrid at the first attempt.We follow them through the 1957 FA Cup Final where Ray Wood's fractured cheekbone cost the club the double, and into the 1957-58 season that produced two of the greatest matches ever played by an English football team — Manchester United 5, Arsenal 4 at Highbury on 1 February, and Red Star Belgrade 3, Manchester United 3 four days later to reach a second consecutive European Cup semi-final.The episode ends on the runway at Munich, on the third attempt at takeoff, on the afternoon of 6 February 1958.
