(31 December 1933 - 2 July 2024)
On hearing about
his passing
A statement from
United read:
“There were few
more perceptive
And precise
passers of a football
In England than Jeff
Whitefoot
During the
mid-1950s”
In April 1950,
Aged 16 years and
105 days,
Jeff Whitefoot debuted
as one
Of the original
Busby Babes,
A team that, in
the 1950s,
Took the First
Division by storm
Known for its youth
And exciting football
Under legendary
manager
Sir Matt Busby.
Jeff Whitefoot won
two
First Division
titles
As one of the Babes
In 1952 and 1956
He transferred to Grimsby
At the end of
1957.
Three months
before the
Munich air
disaster,
Which claimed the
lives
Of eight of his former
teammates.
