A rare Manchester United matchday programme for the game meant to take place two days after the Munich air disaster has been put up for auction for £8,000.
The 'Holy Grail' of football programmes was made for the team's cancelled game against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford on February 8, 1958.
The 12-page magazine was printed around the same time United's plane crashed on take off in Munich on February 6. The team were returning to England after playing a European Cup tie against Red Star Belgrade on February 5.
Of the 23 people who were killed in the tragedy, eight of them were players who formed the famous 'Busby Babes' team.
After the disaster the game was abandoned and all the programmes that had been printed were ordered to be destroyed, although a handful were kept by printing staff.
One of those staff was the late uncle of Man Utd fan Peter Jackson who has kept it in a folder in his bedside drawer for years.
There is even a write-up in the programme of United's 3-3 draw with Red Star that made it into the publication at the last minute.
Mr Jackson, from Wembley, north west London, is now selling it 65 years later at auctioneers Hansons Ross of Royston, Hertfordshire, along with a Man Utd v Nottingham Forest programme for February 22, 1958.
He said: 'You get to a time of life when you start thinking about what may happen to things that are important to you.
'I'm a Manchester United fan and I have owned these programmes nearly all my life so it's a big deal to let them go.
'But they're historically important and deserve to be preserved.
'They were given to my dad by his brother as a gift for me when I saw a small child in the late 1950s. They were always meant for me. When I left home at 18 I took them with me.
'They have moved house a few times but I've always looked after them. They've been in a cardboard folder in a bedside drawer.
'I came across them again during a clear out and decided maybe now was the right time to sell. I've always known I'd have to let them go eventually.
'My dad and uncle are no longer alive. I think they would be surprised to know how valuable those programmes priced 4d, pennies in 1958, might be today.
'I hope they will go to a Manchester United fan or keen collector who will look after them for years to come to honour the Busby's Babes who lost their lives.'
Amanda Butler, director of operations at Hanson Ross, said: 'The vendor's uncle worked in the Manchester print shop that made the programmes.
'Most were destroyed but his uncle kept one and gifted it to our seller.
'He also gave him a programme for a Manchester United v Nottingham Forest match on February 22, 1958, just a couple of weeks after the disaster. The two will be offered at auction together.
'For any football memorabilia collector this is an extremely unusual opportunity.
'Hardly any of the Manchester United v Wolves programmes exist and examples rarely come to light.
'We are aware of one which sold previously at auction for £6,200.'
The sale takes place on January 12.
