Thought the service was well done as was the one in Munich (and really liked the Red Star message).
Dont know if anyone who attended the service can shed any light but I saw pics of Harry Gregg attending and noticed he wasn't sat upfront and wondered why. I fully understand why Bobby Charlton did (as his career/time/impact with United is huge) but given what Harry Gregg did, I wondered if the club asked him to sit up front, especially as he said he may not attend again.
It might be he wouldn't want it (he does come across as a quiet, simple guy) but I've always felt the club should have done something more for him and hope that they've at least tried.

Regarding attending another memorial service we have to reconize that man is 85 years old, and he's not getting younger. So I think he was reconizing his age more than anything. At such old age health can regress quickly.
Yes, the club of course should have done more for the survivors, and book was written about it how the club failed the families of the surviors and those who died if remember correctly, I saw it on Amazon.co.uk but I have not read that book. But we must take it into an accont that the disaster happened in an era, where mental health was disregarded and that post traumatic stress disorder did not exist. The mental issues are probably the prime reasons why Kenny Morgans career forexample never recovered after the crash.
But should we fault the modern club for the decision making back then, no. But should the modern club do more to rectify the situation with familes of those who were affected in the disaster of course.
