FORMER Busby Babe Freddie Goodwin has died at the age of 82.
Freddie Goodwin made 95 appearances for Manchester United
Goodwin made 95 appearances for Manchester United between 1953 and 1960, missing the Munich air disaster because he was not selected in the travelling party.
He went on to play for Leeds and Scunthorpe, whom he later managed along with Brighton and Birmingham.
While at Scunthorpe, Goodwin oversaw the senior debut of future England goalkeeper Ray Clemence, while he also gave a 16-year-old Trevor Francis his Birmingham bow.
Goodwin later moved to the United States, coaching Minnesota Kicks in the North American Soccer League before retiring to Gig Harbour in Washington state.
