Wilf McGuinness is Manchester through and through.

Brought up in Collyhurst, his love of football included both City and United, until he signed for the Reds as an England Schoolboy International in 1953.

He was Sir Bobby Charlton's Captain, for England Schools and one of the famous Busby Babes under the late Sir Matt and his assistance Jimmy Murphy.

A full international with England, he famously remarked that Bobby Charlton and Wilf have 108 Caps between them, Bobby got 106!

When he was 22, a broken leg finished his career and he became a Coach at United.

He was also asked by the FA to coach the England Youth Squad to a Junior World Cup win in 1964, a team that included Tommy Smith, John Sissons & Jon Samuels.

He also helped Sir Alf Ramsay train the 1966 England Squad at Lilleshall, prior to the World Cup and was there at Wembley Stadium as we lifted the Jules Rimet Trophy in the historic win over West Germany.

When Sir Matt retired in 1970, he asked Wilf to manage Manchester United, a dream for a young coach of 31 years of age and although he took United to 7 Cup Semi-Final games in 18 months, they did not win one and Wilf was asked to resign.

As a humorous after dinner speaker, Wilf is much sought after and will delight all with his tales from the world of football. He is equally at home at Sporting Dinners, Conferences.
