As this has never happened to any other team of such standing (that I know of, at any rate) in my lifetime, it's hard to truly appreciate the impact it had - or would have if it happened today.

I know for all my dislike of our illustrious neighbours, should something similar happen to them, I know I would feel the same as I did regarding Hillsborough - physically sick. Crushed. Devastated. I had a personal stake in what happened there too.

Munich '58 should serve as a constant reminder that it's only a game. In the grand scheme of things football is not all that important. People are what matter.

I may come across as a bitter old sod here from time to time, but I don't really mean it. Not much, anyway. :)

Munich '58 was not only a tragedy for Manchester United's supporters, but for the world of sport.

May they all be resting in peace - and let that terrible disaster be a source for good - not animosity.

Well said matey
 
... "It still reaches down and touches me every day. Sometimes I feel it quite lightly, a mere brush stroke across an otherwise happy mood. Sometimes it engulfs me with terrible regret and sadness - and guilt that I walked away and found so much."

Sir Bobby Charlton.

This tragic event happened in the year of my birth, Sir Bobbys words express so much what this day means and still brings a tear to the eye, and probably always will.

May the Babes rest in peace, and the survivers bear their burden more lightly as time passes on.
