To celebrate John Giles' retirement week this week, Off The Ball have been trawling through the archives to celebrate the very best of Giles' contributions from over 23 years of broadcasting with Newstalk.

Over the course of this week, we will release some of that timeless content, regaling some of the best Giles' stories from over the years.

From selecting best elevens, to in-depth conversations on the state of the game itself, to paying tribute to the game's greats, Giles has seen pretty much everything there is to see over 65 years of playing, coaching and punditry.

In the fourth episode this week, we take you back to Giles' experience of the man that was Matt Busby, the man who gave him his first team debut in 1959.
