true death is to be forgotten..those 8 young men drew thousands of fans globally in an era when there was no live television...even after 54 years these men are still talked about by millions all over the world...god took them away but they never died and never will..they live in the fans..they live at old trafford...they live in manchester...they live in united....
Manchester United is not only about the things they have won for so many years. They are more than that. There is a soul of this club and whoever can feel it, is a true United fan. The soul which is greater than any of the players, managers etc. My attachment for United is not only because they are the best club in the world but because when you watch them play, its like watching your true love, the one with whom you would like to spend whole of your life.. GGMU.. <3
A really good post. I don't support United , but i respect everything they've achieved and i found this video very moving and you can feel Bobby's pain when he talks about the mates he lost on that terrible day.
George Best, Tommy Taylor, Duncan Edwards. The best of the best. All started at Manchester United. And anyone who says that they are not they best, two words for you. A hint: the second word is either off or you.
This guy inspires me so much, I can't even begin to imagine how he must have felt :/ Neither should anyone else, because they are all probably 12 year old idiots who think they can amuse people with their sick jokes, you try being in his position. He achieved so much, and all these sick little idiots on here must have brains the size of a pea. I watched the film 'United' and ok, maybe it's not entirely accurate, but it's an amazing film and I just couldn't stop crying. This man is a true hero <3
@8gotsplattered Right. Ok, thanks for clearing that up. That's a bit out of order to say that though I think, even as a wind up. Some things you just shouldn't joke about. In my opinion anyway.
Thumbs up if you came here because you just watched ' United ' on BBC 2.. Maybe not all that acurate but it was a sad story about the 23 who died, may they R.IP
Sir Bobby is a legend. The scars of the Munuch disaster will go to the grave with him.
As much as i hate Man Utd now Utd back then they were really true legends you had George Best, Bobby Charlton, Denis Law the perfect team and Charltons foot was lethal.
One of the most tragic disasters ever to happen in football. It makes me feel disgusted as a Liverpool fan to see people ridiculing this, after the support and respect the rest of England shows towards Hillsborough
Even as a Liverpool fan it is really good to get an insight into the history of man utd, undoubtedly one of the best clubs around.
Bobby Charlton who is a legend of the game saying that Duncan Edwards was his hero and that he learned more from him than any other player is really something. To think of the impact that Edwards could have had for Man Utd and also for England. Good viewing
Those are completely different things mate. I agree, the 96 who died at Hillsborough have not recieved justice for what happened, but thats not the fault of United, or more importantly the Busby Babes.
These things must rise above a mere game of football. These are stories of people dying are not about football. RIP to those Busby Babes.
Bobby Charlton is a gentleman, which is more than can be said for the pathetic people leaving disgusting comments about the disaster. I feel sorry for them as they must have had terrible upbringings to be so devoid of class and decency. Shame.
it was the ice on the runway that made the areoplane go down the areoplane go down the areoplane go down it was the ice on the runway that made the areoplane go down in the most delightful way whos that dyin on the run way whos that dyin in the snow its matt busby and his boys makin all the fuckin noise cos they couldnae get the aeroplane to go duh duh duh duh duh duh duh always look on the run way for ice
I see ppl calling Maradona a cheat just because he handled a ball into an ENGLISH net. I rem Ronan O'Gara getting stick because he said English club rugby was over rated.
In short get your blinkers off, Maradona was an unreal talent everytime he scored outside the box he hit the ball same side of the keeper and still keepers couldn stop them.
Ps just for the record I am a Man united fan my entire life.
pele would neve have saw duncan as he played in the 50's with no footage the only way to see edwards would be on the news in england or go to watch him.i don't think pele went to england to watch him.yes football has changed but most players back then like edwards,puskas are better than any today.
Toon did you know that after the 1957 European cup semi final when Man utd were knocked out by real madrid, bobby charlton, the guy in this video hailed alfredo stefano as the greatest player he'd ever seen, that was when edwards was in the first team for utd, then suddenly munich happens and edwards is killed and then time and time again charlton tries to milk the disaster by claiming edwards would have been better than pele/maradona...........hes a liar.
anyone who knows anything about football knows all players who played with or against duncan edwards said he was the greatest player to ever play the game. if he wasnt then why would he be remembered as he is today.
He suddenly changed his mind after munich and said edwards was the greatest and would have achieved more to try and milk the disaster and make money out of it, look up the facts, did you know that man utd charged the bbc thousands to film the funerals.......also did you know man utd kicked the surviving players of the crash out of the houses that were owned by the club and left them to rot in poverty? why do you spend your life on youtube trying to convince people edwards was the greatest!?
where is the proof that he called di stefano the greatest just about every on who saw edwards call him the best type in youtube duncan edwards and watch the clip of him with sir matt talking about him read the comments there a guys talks about liverpools fans calling him the best ect.
good job on this video! my names Angelina, kinda feelin bored if any1 wants to join me on cam or wana chat i will be signed on at __ FriendlyFlirts(.COM) __ my user ID there is Angelina_foxqebuumj chat soon xx its FR33 to j0in! mwah
@kerzhakov89 Scholes & Keano killed the so called Zizu and Davids in 1999. Apparently Cantona reckomended to Fergie not to sing Zidane. He's over rated I think.
the greatest player ever id duncan edwards look him up he is overlooked by fifa when they voted pele because he died at 21 but everyone who is over 60 today will tell you edwards was the best they ever saw.
true death is to be forgotten..those 8 young men drew thousands of fans globally in an era when there was no live television...even after 54 years these men are still talked about by millions all over the world...god took them away but they never died and never will..they live in the fans..they live at old trafford...they live in manchester...they live in united....
