Am Donnerstag dem 06. Februar 1958 ging ein teil der wahrscheinlich größten Mannschaft die jemals das Rote Shirt mit dem United Wappen trug von uns....
Sie kamen gerade vom Halbfinal-Rückspiel ihrer ERSTEN teilnahem am European Cup aus Belgrad und wollten in München zwischenlanden um zu tanken. Das Spiel ging 3:3 aus, was United den Halbfinaleinaleinzug bescherte!
Dann geschah das unfassbare.
Das flugzeug stürzte beim 3 Startversuch kurz nach dem start wieder ab und folgende Menschen haben dieses Unglück nicht überlebt:
REST IN PEACE YOU FLOWERS OF MANCHESTER! ALWAYS REMEMBERED NEVER EVER FORGOTTEN!!!!!

Wenn man sich vorstellt, dass die mannschaft einen Altersdurchschnitt von gerade einmal 22 jahren hatte, sie 56 und 57 englischer MEISTER geworden sind und in ihrer ersten teilnahme am european cup 58 ins halbfinale eingezogen sind... (Das halbfinal hinspiel zu hause gegen Milan gewann man sogar noch mit 2:1, aber leider konnte man die jungs die fehlten im rückspiel nicht mehr ersetzen und man verlor 4:0 in mailand) ich denke dann hat man eine ungefähre Ahnung, was uns da verloren gegangen ist.
Wir wären heute mit meilenweitem abstand Rekormeister in England und hätten mit sicherheit mehr European Cups, wäre das damals nicht passiert, da kann man sich sicher sein!
Besonders hervorheben möchte ich einmal BIG DUNCAN EDWARDS! Viele experten sind sich sicher, dass er der mit abstand beste englische fußballer geworden wäre.... Und wir würden ihn wohl auch mindestens auf einer stufe nennen mit Georgie Best oder Maradona usw.
DUNCAN war 21 als er starb und hatte bereits 175!!!!!!! spiele für United absolviert.Bitte nehmt euch die zeit und lest selbst!!!Roger Byrne - aged 28, full-back. 277 appearances, 19 goals, 33 England caps.
"An aristocratic footballer, majestic in his movement. Roger was so fast but at the same time he controlled his movement beautifully, like Nureyev." - Sir Matt Busby
Geoff Bent - aged 25, full-back. 12 appearances.
"When Geoff matured and reached his twenties there were many clubs after him but he stayed loyal. He could look after himself and was a great tackler. Roger Byrne was a consistent player and very brave, that was the reason Geoff got so few games, but he was good enough to hold a regular place in any team." - Jimmy Murphy
Eddie Colman - aged 21, half-back. 107 appearances, 2 goals.
"Eddie was a chirpy lad and a terrific player. He pushed the ball - never kicked it - and he jinked past players. He was known for his swivel hips." - Wilf McGuinness
David Pegg - aged 22, forward, 148 appearances, 28 goals, 1 England cap.
"David would have been a great asset to any team because he was a natural, left-flank player. David was very, very clever. Our best left-winger by a mile." - Sir Matt Busby
Mark Jones - aged 24, half-back, 120 appearances, 1 goal.
"Yorkshireman Mark was a really lovely fellow, but my word he was a tough
nut, and nobody took any liberties with him on or off the field." - Bill Foulkes
Duncan Edwards - aged 21, half-back, 175 apps., 21 goals, 18 England caps, 5 goals.
"When I used to hear Muhammad Ali proclaim to the world he was the greatest, I used to smile. The greatest of them all was a footballer named Duncan Edwards." - Jimmy Murphy
"The only player who ever made me feel inferior." - Sir Bobby Charlton
Tommy Taylor - aged 26, forward, 189 apps., 128 goals, 19 England caps, 16 goals
"I rate him as one of the all-time, best centre-forwards in the game, and he had yet to realise all his potential. He was a typically bluff Yorkshireman in many ways, often acting the clown, and a great team man." - Bill Foulkes
Liam 'Billy' Whelan - aged 22, forward, 96 apps., 52 goals, 4 Republic of Ireland caps
"Billy was a magician with a ball at his feet. I really don't think he knew how good he was and how much better he could have become. A world-class forward. There is no doubt about that. His vision and passing was sheer class." - Albert Scanlon
Walter Crickmer, club secretary / Tom Curry, trainer / Bert Whalley, coach"Walter Crickmer always reminded me of a little dynamo, nothing was too much trouble. Tom Curry, the trainer, was someone we looked up to like a father. And Bert Whalley was certainly a tremendous help to me when I was a part-timer." - Bill Foulkes
