65th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster. A terrible day for Manchester United. I can still remember reading about it as I was doing my paper round and that is what started my love affair with United.

It is yes. But I was referring to the wreaths that were taken onto the pitch yesterday as a reminder to everyone of what had happened all those years ago.Its tomorrow.
Absolutely tragic. The fact the club went on to be the first English team to win the EC ten years later was a phenomenal achievement, arguably the best ever seen in football too.
I was born in '58. Ten years later I was already a fan, I remember cutting the photos out of the paper when we won the European Cup. It was an amazing achievement, to get back to the pinnacle of club football in such a short time.65th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster. A terrible day for Manchester United.

There was a third: Torino in 1949. They lost almost the whole team and several from the Italy team.It was back in mid 1980s in late Soviet Union when I learned that there were two football clubs who went through air disaster: our neighbors Pahtakor (Tashkent) and Manchester United in England. I was 7 or 8 when my father told me this story. We lived behind the iron curtain and had very little information about the outer world. I remembered an exotic name "Manchester United" and when EPL came to post-Soviet countries it happened I became a United fan.
RIP Flowers of Manchester
