1 February, 1958
First Division, Highbury
A United team at the height of its powers conceded four times but still came out on top, five days before the Munich air disaster would change the course of the club's history. Five members of the Busby Babes who played at Highbury – Roger Byrne, Eddie Colman, Mark Jones, Tommy Taylor and Duncan Edwards – were to lose their lives after United's plane crashed at Munich Airport after a failed take-off. The game at Arsenal the previous Saturday witnessed the last goal to be scored by Edwards, tipped to become one of the greatest footballers England has ever produced, and the final brace from Taylor.
