 Albert Einstein
It was because of the AAS membership that Leo was eventually able to meet Albert Einstein.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science was planning its 1934 convention for the as-yet unfinished Mellon Institute in Oakland.
"Good," replied Einstein, "Can you tell me where the bathroom is?" The famous photo of Leo Scanlon and Einstein was taken by another AAAP member (name not recalled) as Leo was in the process of thanking the great scientist for his time and attention.

 Arsenal 4 Manchester United 5 1958 Division One
The second half began, perhaps inevitably, in a more subdued fashion and it was beginning to seem as though the afternoon's excitement might be spent when the game suddenly exploded into life with an incredible burst of scoring by the home side.
Their forwards clearly had the beating of the Arsenal defence to a far greater degree than was the case at the other end of the pitch.
Scanlon in particular had led Stan Charlton a merry dance all afternoon and it was from another of his left wing centres that Viollet restored United's lead with a smart header of which his partner, Taylor, would have been proud.

 Arsenal 4, Manchester United 5
Then Albert Scanlon became the scourge of the Londoners; first he ran at great pace with the ball, and when he crossed it hard and low Charlton was on hand to finish cleanly.
Ten minutes later it was Scanlon again who caused the damage, when another low cross was knocked back across goal by Morgans and Charlton was there again to claim United’s third.
Scanlon went very wide on the left, and linked up with Charlton; Viollet was on hand to head home Charlton’s cross.

That fallacious telegram, sent by Duncan Edwards, was delivered to his landlady in Manchester at 5pm on February 6, 1958, by which time 21 people lay dead in the wreckage of BEA flight G-ALZU, and the word "Munich" was engraved tombstone-large in the dictionary of disaster.

With Tom Finney approaching thc end of his illustrious career, David Pegg was seen by many as the man most likely, in the long term, to step into his international boots.
Although Albert Scanlon was keeping him out of the United side at the time of the disaster, there was plainly a great deal more to come from David, who was only 22 when he died.
He also enjoyed an enviable reputation in Europe, being held in particularly high regard by Real Madrid, who are said to have once signed a new defender specifically to combat his talents.

 The great match a Highbury
The ball was pushed out to Albert Scanlon on the left wing and he ran virtually the full length of the field before crossing.
Charlton's shot was unstoppable and all Kelsey could do was throw up both arms in a token gesture as he dived to his right, but the shot was past him and the young Charlton was turning to celebrate the Babes' 2:0 lead.
The Manchester supporters screamed their delight, and were in raptures a few minutes later when Kelsey had to retrieve the ball from his goal for a fifth time, after Eddie Colman had found Morgans with a precise pass and Tommy Taylor had scored his last goal.

Jackie Blanchflower, the centre-half who had replaced Ray Wood in goal in the FA Cup Final, was missing from the side along with wingers David Pegg and Johnny Berry and the creative inside-forward Liam Whelan, all of whom are being rested by Busby.
By half-time it was 3-0, and again Scanlon's speed had played its part.
The winger broke down the left, rounded Arsenal right-back Stan Charlton and crossed to the far side of the pitch where right-winger Kenny Morgans met the cross and chipped the ball back into the penalty area.

Duncan Edwards, Bill Whelan, David Pegg, Eddie Colman, Albert Scanlon, Bobby Charlton and Wilf McGuiness were all in the victorious side that year, which incidentally was coached by club manager Sir Matt Busby in person.
They all went on to play for their countries, but Edwards, Whelan, Pegg and Colman died in the tragic air crash in Munich, and Scanlon was so badly injured that he was never able to play to his full ability again.
Bobby Charlton was only slightly injured, and he went on to become one of the most popular figures in the history of English football, and was one of the World Cup winning team in 1966.

 United in the 1950s - Questions, Answers, Fun Facts, Information
With Morgans, Charlton, and Scanlon coming in for Berry, Whelan, and Pegg, for the home game against Leicester City on 21st December, United embarked upon a 15-game unbeaten run in the League, FA Cup and European Cup that, but for Munich, would probably have taken them to the double, if not the treble.
With three goals from Bobby Charlton, two from Dennis Viollet and one each from Duncan Edwards and Albert Scanlon, the game was nothing short of a massacre.
This was the identical Bolton team that UnitedĂ‚’s patched-up post-Munich side, containing just four survivors from this Old Trafford mauling, which somehow managed to get to the FA Cup Final, would meet four months later at Wembley, controversially losing 2-0.
