	LES OLIVE MANCHESTER UNITED FC 1953 CLUB SECRETARY 1958-88 ORIGINAL AUTOGRAPH	£15.00

Born in Salford, England, he joined the Manchester United ground staff at the age of 14 in 1942. He then performed his National Service with the Royal Air Force before returning to Manchester United in 1948 to begin his administrative career overseeing the club's reserve team. He retained ambitions as a player and was a regular in the club's 'A' and 'B' junior sides, as well as making the odd reserve team appearance. He played in "every position except outside left", but preferred a defensive role as either a full-back or a centre-half; however, it was as a goalkeeper that he made his first-team debut, just three weeks before his 25th birthday. With first-team goalkeepers Jack Crompton, Ray Wood and Reg Allen all unavailable due to injury and illness, Olive was picked to play in goal away to Newcastle United on 11 April 1953, helping Manchester United to a 2–1 win. He made one more appearance in senior football, a 2–2 draw at home to West Bromwich Albion the following week, before returning to the 'A' team as a left-back.

That year, he was made assistant club secretary under Walter Crickmer. In 1958, Crickmer was killed in the Munich air disaster along with eight Manchester United players, two other members of the club's staff and various others as the team returned from a European Cup match against Red Star Belgrade. Along with his wife Betty, Olive was responsible for breaking the news to the victims' families and helping to organise funerals. He was officially made club secretary in the summer of 1958 and remained in the role until his retirement in 1988, when he joined the club's board of directors.
