Totally agree Brian. I wasn’t born until a few years after that fateful day but my Dad has told me all about them, especially Eddie Coleman and Duncan Edwards.
My Dad played with many of them – he was a Busby Babe and played in two of United’s FA Youth Cup winning finals in 1954/55 and 1955/56.
He was also pencilled in to fly out to Belgrade as reserve full back but Geoff Bent recovered from an injury and took his place – there but for the grace of God eh? Geoff, sadly, was one of the players who died.
Rivalry is put to one side on days such as this.
