Quixall joined Manchester United in September 1958 for a then British record fee of £ 45,000 , one of Matt Busby 's key recruits in building a new team in the aftermath of the Munich air disaster , which had killed eight players and ended the careers of two others on 6 February that year . After seven games without a win for United , Quixall eventually helped the team go on a run of only two losses in 23 matches to end the season as runners-up in the First Division . Quixall 's only medal with the club was the 1963 FA Cup . Altogether , he scored 56 goals in 184 games for the Red Devils
