Pearson had been promoted from the “A” team to play at inside-left, along with Shay Brennan, a wing-half (and later full-back) converted to winger for the night. He was in Manchester simply to watch the match, and his boots had to be driven up from Birmingham, arriving at seven o’clock. Then four hours before kick-off United paid Aston Villa £23,000 for the hard-tackling wing-half Stan Crowther, who had been in the side that had beaten United in the previous season’s FA Cup final. Ernie Taylor – a midfield general and one of the unsung heroes of the 1953 “Matthews final” – had been hurriedly signed from Blackpool. Harry Gregg, who had saved several lives in Munich, was in goals, along with another survivor, Bill Foulkes, in defence. Some accounts suggest that it was the first time You’ll Never Walk Alone, a song from the musical Carousel, had been sung in an English football ground (other reports claim that it was at United’s following game, against Nottingham Forest). There was a strange atmosphere at Old Trafford before kick-off: it was mostly silent, punctuated by the sounds of weeping and fans shouting the names of those who had died. With the manager Matt Busby in hospital, his assistant Jimmy Murphy – who had been away managing the Wales side so was not on the plane in Germany – was still scrambling to assemble a side on the morning of the game, and when fans opened the matchday programme that evening they saw 11 empty spaces. In the aftermath of the tragedy United, unable to muster a team, had been allowed to delay their FA Cup fifth-round tie against Sheffield Wednesday, which finally took place a fortnight after Munich.
