Former goalkeeper Ray Wood, who now lives in East Sussex, also on a basic pension, said: "It would have been nice to have had some recognition from the club, as the players who made it what it is today."
Manchester United, now one of the biggest clubs in the world with profits last year of £27m, are organising a testimonial match later this month to benefit the survivors, and the relatives of those who died. United will take on an Eric Cantona European XI with the former United captain playing a half for each side.
Club chairman, Martin Edwards, said: "There was a disaster fund at the time, but the amounts raised for the players were paltry by modern standards. Now is the appropriate time to do something more for them."
Bill Foulkes said: "It's a little bit late - but better late than never.

Always a sad moment when another "Babe" leaves us.
