<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">This is a great story. In 1953, Manchester United boss Matt Busby scouted Sean Connery, playing for Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic and offered him a contract. Connery rejected it: &quot;I realised a footballer could be over the hill by the age of 30, and I was already 23.
