Episode description

We've got an extra treat for you this week: Gary Neville joins our football history podcast, It Was What It Was. 

The former Manchester United captain looks back on one of the most momentous and tragic events in football history: The Munich air disaster of 1958.

Neville discusses the lasting significance of the tragedy - and how Sir Matt Busby rebuilt the club, leading them to European Cup glory just a decade after its darkest day.

If you want to know more about the game’s greatest characters, matches that changed football forever, and the stories behind the bribes, the bans, and the on-pitch battles - this is the podcast for you! Join two of the world’s best football journalists - Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper - at football university.

Give it a listen - we know you'll enjoy it! And if you want to hear the next part of the Busby Babes story, it's on the It Was What It Was feed.
