Alex Dawson Sat & Sun
The name of Alex Dawson might not instantly mean much to many but the 67-year-old from Aberdeen played a crucial role in keeping Manchester United alive after the Munich air disaster ripped the club apart. Dawson narrowly missed out on boarding the ill-fated flight back from Germany. With Sir Matt Busby fighting for his life in hospital, his trusty No.2 Jimmy Murphy pulled a team together to face Sheffield Wednesday in the fifth round of the FA Cup - just 13 days after the accident. Dawson took his place beside survivors Bill Foulkes and Harry Gregg as United won 3-0. Dawson had an incredible record at Old Trafford, scoring 54 goals in 93 games. He is still the youngest player to score a hattrick for the club, hitting a treble aged 18 years and 33 days in the semi-final replay against Fulham in March 1958. He also played in the famous 1958 Final.
