FCUM 1 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I think Bobby Charlton said before that Edwards was the only player who ever made him feel inferior, that's some statement. There is no doubt in my mind who would have been receiving the world cup in 1966 had he lived. Bobby Moore is remembered as an all-time great but I wonder how many games he'd have played for England had Edwards survived.

Footsoldier 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I was under the impression Duncan Edwards was a midfield player. More likely the that skinny git stiles would have been out of the team rather than Moore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely the that skinny git stiles would have been out of the team rather than Moore. Like Moore he was a 'half back' in the old formation of 2 full backs, 1 centre half and 2 half backs. Probably a cross between the modern day ball playing centre back and the defensive midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13846 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I just watched a few Programs on this, ''Munich Remembered' etc. Tbh before hand i didn't know too much about it but these programs were quite educational and it is a really sad story. The following program was Sir Bobby Charlton's view of the events - he is obviously genuinely mournful and quite amazingly not just doing it for the attention. Called himself a Geordie like...

Tooj 17 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I'm guessing some sort of flux capacitor was used so this photo could be taken? You would think though with all the effort of actually going back in time they could have went just that little bit further to prevent the accident.

Apparently both teams will be wearing the original kits from '58 on Sunday. And, as the picture shows a little, the players will all be wearing black boots for the occasion. Quite why all this was felt necessary defeats me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I would have to ask why a token black player is being included in a photo of apparently other time served and experienced but accidentaly white Man U players in a memorial of the busby babes.
