That definitely exists, if that's what you've wondering about.
I've posted bits and bobs from that final on here before - most recently when John Anderson died.
I've got two different newsreels for the game - one just sort of randomly makes up the scorers and such. The original BBC broadcast itself was live and was not telecine'd.
John Aston Sr. was our first choice LB for half a decade until Busby moved Roger Byrne from LW to LB. He played a couple of years as a centre-forward before retiring in 1954. His job was to mark Matthews out of the game in the 1948 final.
