Smooth Operator 10 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Kicked off with the Munich air crash involving Busby and his babes in 1958. Never realised Duncan Edwards survived 15 days before he passed away, my Grandad always tells me he would have become the greatest footballer that ever played. Also never knew that it was their 3rd attempt at take off when they crashed and that the plane never actually left the ground! The Germans blamed the English pilot for not clearing the wings of ice, but 10 years after evidence proved it was because of excess water/slush on the runway and they should never had been cleared for take off in the first place. Tragic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 As much as I despise Manure, I've thankfully never lowered myself to join in with 'that' song. As much as we slag Manure gloryhunters, a lot of the older generation of Manure fan became a fan because of this incident as a sign of support.

Guest alex Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Duncan Edwards was supposedly exceptional like. Probably would have been up there with the likes of Best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark 0 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I remember Bobby Charlton saying someone was one of the best he had played with before he had died, think that might have been Edwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given that someone as 'respected' as Charlton says that when he played alongside Best for donkeys you'd have thought that might have dampened all the 'Best=greatest player in the history of football', but apparently not. Not that I reckon you can really say that about a player who was so young at the time mind you. Charlton talks an awful lot of shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
