Matt Busby and Manchester United could have been forgiven for thinking that European football would be a breeze after a sensational 10-0 annihilation of Anderlecht on this day in 1956, with that result remaining the Reds' biggest of all time.
The Reds triumphed 2-0 in the first leg in Brussels but were still anticipating a tough road to the next round of the 1956/57 European Cup, having become the first English team to enter the competition.
Dennis Viollet led the way with four of the goals and Tommy Taylor also bagged a hat-trick, with Liam Whelan (2) and Johnny Berry adding their names to the scoresheet.
