Busby was a survivor of the Munich plane crash during the 1957-58 season when the team was on its way home from a European Cup tie against Red Star Belgrade on February 6, 1958.
Seven players and three club officials were among the 21 people killed. Busby suffered multiple injuries and was in the hospital for nine weeks.
He was not aware of the extent of the tragedy until some three weeks after the crash, as doctors felt he was not strong enough to be told the truth until then.
Busby died at The Alexandra Hospital in Cheadle in the year 1994, aged 84. He had been admitted to the hospital to have a blood clot removed from his leg.
He was buried in Southern Cemetery here alongside his wife Jean.
