Johnny Hanlon
| Date of birth | 12 October 1917 |
| Place of birth | Manchester |
| Nationality | English |
| Position | Inside forward |
A promising forward pre-WW2, but three years as a POW in Germany took away his sparkle, not surprisingly. With Morris, Rowley and Pearson firmly established in the post-WW2 sides, Hanlon's role was as a stand-in as Busby juggled a small squad expertly.
