48 years on, and the pain is still felt by United fans around the world.
8 players, 3 staff made the ultimate sacrafice for this club, we can't forget, we should never forget them. May those that died this dark day all them years ago RIP. |

 One cold and bitter Thursday in Munich, Germany, Eight great football stalwarts conceded victory, Eight men who will never play again who met destruction there, The flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester Matt Busby's boys were flying, returning from Belgrade, This great United family, all masters of their trade, The Pilot of the aircraft, the skipper Captain Thain, Three times they tried to take off and twice turned back again. The third time down the runaway disaster followed close, There was a slush upon that runaway and the aircraft never rose, It ploughed into the marshy ground, it broke, it overturned. And eight of the team were killed as the blazing wreckage burned. Roger Byrne and Tommy Taylor who were capped for England's side. And Ireland's Billy Whelan and England's Geoff Bent died, Mark Jones and Eddie Colman, and David Pegg also, They all lost their lives as it ploughed on through the snow. Big Duncan he went to, with an injury to his frame, And Ireland's brave Jack Blanchflower will never play again, The great Sir Matt Busby lay there, the father of his team Three long months passed by before he walked again. The trainer, coach and secretary, and a member of the crew, Also eight sporting journalists who with United flew, and one of them Big Swifty, who we'll ne'er forget, the finest English 'keeper that ever graced the net. Oh, England's finest football team its record truly great, its proud successes mocked by a cruel turn of fate. Eight men will never play again, who met destruction there, the flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester http://www.munich58.co.uk/apps/filed...PagePosition=2 (second down, by The Spinners, wonderful rendition). Geoff Bent Roger Byrne Eddie Colman Duncan Edwards Mark Jones David Pegg Tommy Taylor Liam Whelan Walter Crickmer Bert Whalley Tom Curry Alf Clarke Don Davies George Follows Tom Jackson Archie Ledbrooke Henry Rose Eric Thompson Frank Swift Kenneth Rayment Bela Miklos Willie Satinoff Tom Cable  United's flag is deepest red, It covered all our Munich dead, Before their limbs grew stiff and cold, Their hearts blood dyed its every fold. So keep United's banner high, Beneath its shade we'll live and die, So keep the faith and never fear, We'll keep the red flag flying here. We'll never die, We'll never die, We'll never die, We'll never die, We'll keep the red flag flying high, Cos Man United will never die.

FOREVER AND EVER WE'LL FOLLOW THE BOYS OF MANCHESTER UNITED THE BUSBY BABES For we made a promise, To defend our faith, In Manchester United, The Busby Babes. We've all sworn allegiance, To fight till we die, To stand by United, And the Red flag we fly, There'll be no surrender, We'll fight to the last, To defeat all before us, As we did in the past. For we're Stretford Enders, With United we grew, To the famous Red Devils, We're loyal and true, To part-time supporters, We'll never descend, We'll never forsake you, We'll be here to the end. For we all remember, That '58 day, And the plane that once stood on, That Munich runway, As it tried to take off, For the third fatal time, The immortal young babes were, Cut down in their prime. In the cold snow of Munich, They laid down their lives, But they live on forever, In our hearts and our minds, Their names are now legend, For the whole world to see. Why this club's a religion, Spelt M.U.F.C. So bow down before them, And lift up your eyes, For Old Trafford's glory, Will always survive

"If ever they are playing in your town,
You must get to that football ground; Take a lesson come and see, Football taught by Matt Busby; Manchester, Manchester United; A bunch of bouncing Busby Babes, They deserve to be knighted!"

When I was a kid, these were legends. As were Busby, Foulkes and Charlton who were still playing. It's incredible to me to think that Duncan, at least, would almost certainly still have been going then and I might have actually seen him play. RIP all victims from that flight
