As with a lot of fathers and sons, I suspect, probably 50% or more of the conversations my father and I had were about sport, and most of them were about football. Like my grandfather, like myself, my father was a lifelong supporter of Huddersfield Town, and he often talked about the great Town sides and players of the past: Vic Metcalfe and Jimmy Glazzard, Denis Law and Ray Wilson, Jimmy Nicholson and Frank Worthington.
He would talk, too, of other great sides he had been lucky enough to see play: the Blackpool team of Matthews and Mortensen, the Wolves team managed by Stan Cullis, and the double-winning Tottenham side of 1961. But the team and players my father talked about the most were the Manchester United Busby Babes, named after their manager Matt Busby.
