There's a Bobby Charlton interview on the BBC which discusses the Munich crash, and shows a Man U teamsheet from that time set up in 5-3-2 formation.
I remember playing in this formation in the early seventies at school. Any thoughts on why it went out of fashion?

I think better, fitter, more technical attacking full backs in back 4's saw it off with players centrally or in the other full back side sitting in.

I always thought it was mor like a 3-2-5 at school in those days. Maybe Alaneagle1 can remember.

I recall a left, right and centre back, a left and right midfield, a centre forward with an inside left and inside right and then your two wingers.

Attack was the name of the game...

I definitely remember two at the back cos they were always the slow ones! Then I changed school in 1973 and it was 4-3-3 which seemed very progressive. I don't see how Man U in 1958 could have defended against 5 forwards with only two full backs. Maybe the centre half dropped back.

That's how we were rigidly set up at school, and for many years I thought those positionings were mandatory, as everyone stood in their allotted place at kickoff.
It was either really sh*t or an afternoon off playing in goal.
