First Team & Reserve Team Sheet, c.1971
Saved from the dressing room notice board by former player Pete Fletcher, this original team sheet from around 1971 is a remarkable piece of Manchester United history. Featuring both Pete's name and that of fellow former players in the reserve squad, the document is signed by Sir Matt Busby himself. More than fifty years later, it remains a priceless reminder of an era and the players who lived it.
