8x12 inch photo signed by Manchester United legend Jack Crompton
Crompton turned professional at Old Trafford in 1944 and was in the United team that won the 1948 FA Cup. Crompton retired in 1956 and became trainer at United two years later. He later dabbled in management, taking charge of Luton Town for one week in 1962 before deciding his heart lay with United, who he served for 32 years in various capacities. In May 1981, Crompton was interim manager between the dismissal of Dave Sexton and the appointment of Ron Atkinson. Now aged 88, he is one of the oldest surviving former Manchester United players, and one of the last of surviving remembers of United's successful late 1940s/early 1950s side.
