Timeline

1935

Albert Joseph Scanlon (10 October 1935 – 22 December 2009) was an English footballer.

1950

He joined the Manchester United groundstaff in 1950, before signing a professional contract in December 1952.

1954

Scanlon made his way through the Manchester United youth system, winning two FA Youth Cups in 1953 and 1954 before making his first-team debut against Arsenal on 20 November 1954.

1956

Scanlon was involved in two league title wins – in 1956 and 1957 – but he failed to make enough appearances to earn a winners' medal on either occasion, with David Pegg being United's regular left winger during this time.

Scanlon was occasionally used as a right winger, which was the regular position of Johnny Berry.

1958

He began his career with Manchester United and was one of the "Busby Babes" who survived the Munich air disaster of 1958.

Although he sustained severe injuries, he recovered and continued to play league football for Newcastle United, Lincoln City and Mansfield Town.

He then went on to play non-league football until his retirement.

Born in Hulme, Manchester, Scanlon was a nephew of former Manchester United winger Charlie Mitten.

He attended St Wilfred's School in Hulme.

His talent for football was noticed early on, and he was selected to play for the Manchester Boys side.

On 5 February 1958, Scanlon started on the left wing in United's European Cup quarter-final second leg away to Red Star Belgrade; for five of the players who started the game, it was to be their last match for the club.

The next day, on the return journey to Manchester, the team's plane crashed while attempting to take off from Munich airport, in an incident that later became known as the Munich air disaster.

The crash killed 23 of the plane's 44 passengers and crew, and Scanlon suffered a fractured skull, a broken leg and kidney damage.

He did not play again that season.

He made a full recovery and was back in action at the start of the following season, going on to appear in every game that season, scoring 16 goals in the process.

1960

Scanlon was sold to Newcastle United for £18,000 in November 1960, but his time on Tyneside was not a success and he then dropped down to a lower level to play for Lincoln City in February 1962.

1963

He was on the move again just over a year later, joining Mansfield Town in April 1963, just in time to participate in the club's celebrations at being promoted to the Third Division.

1966

He joined Belper Town in 1966, and retired shortly afterwards.

Following his retirement, Scanlon returned to the Manchester area and worked in a succession of jobs outside football, including working as a security guard at a Colgate-Palmolive factory near Old Trafford, and being a docker in Salford.

2006

In 2006, Scanlon complained about several "inaccuracies" in an episode of Surviving Disaster focussing on the Munich air disaster, despite being consulted by the production company.

2007

On 13 May 2007, Scanlon presented the Premier League trophy to Manchester United along with former teammate Bill Foulkes.

2008

He attended United's victorious Champions League final appearance in May 2008 in Moscow, being flown to the game in Russia on a private jet hired by United, along with fellow Munich survivors Bobby Charlton and Harry Gregg.

Bill Foulkes, the other remaining survivor, attended the game as well.

2009

Scanlon was admitted to the Salford Royal Hospital with kidney problems and pneumonia on 21 October 2009.

He was in intensive care for more than a month, and died on 22 December 2009, aged 74.

2010

His funeral was held on 13 January 2010, and more than 300 people attended the service at All Souls' Church in Weaste, including fellow Munich survivors Bobby Charlton, Harry Gregg and Bill Foulkes, and former Manchester United players Denis Law and Nobby Stiles.

2019

Mansfield narrowly missed out on promotion to the Second Division two years later, finishing third in Division Three, but they dropped to 19th the following season and Scanlon dropped out of league football.
