Johnny Berry has rather more to his game than the typical winger's bag of tricks - though he has those too. After Matt Busby spent 18 months trying to sign him, he joined the club in the 51-52 season, and has been a regular star of the side ever since.
As well as the classic winger's abilities, in particular his tremendous knack for getting to the goal-line and sending in dangerous crosses, Berry has the heart of a real competitor - many an opposing full-back has been surprised by his determination to tackle back with the best of them.
