Just watched the whole game on YouTube - great to see both United and Villa in action from this era. And not just grainy highlights either.

Seems to me like most of these players would be quite capable of coping with the modern-day game.

Top players?

Thought Charlton, Whelan, Pegg and Byrne were especially good for United. Jacky Blanchflower looked like he'd played in goal all his life. Interesting how many pf the United attacks went down the left side of the pitch. Duncan Edwards, though, seemed to have a rare off day.

For Villa, well, Pat Saward was the best player on the pitch that day. The 2 full backs, Lynn and Aldis also terrific. Peter McParland too. Less said about his "shoulder challenge" the better though.

Really enjoyed that - if anyone knows of any other full-length games from that era available online, please list them here!
