Munich Remembered - 6th February 1958

Bobby Charlton was a guest of Roberto Mancini at the Etihad Stadium last weekend. In the hospitality lounge after the game, Mancini asked Sir Bobby,
"How do you think the current City team would fare against the Utd team of 1968?''

Charlton replies ''I think it'd be a close run thing,maybe a draw''

Mancini walks away feeling very pleased with himself,when Charlton shouts across the room,

''Mind you, we haven't trained in 30 years''

lol, sharp stuff from Charlton in that quote wr8 posted.

RIP... On this day of the year I usually search and read about the Babes, look at some clips and wish there were more footage from those days. Not knowing what heights we would have heard and seen Duncan Edwards climb is almost an unbearable thought :(
 
RIP the babes. And all those who lost their lives that day and the days following
 
RIP Busby Babes and to the others who lost their lives.

Reading about it again today still sends shivers down my spine. Sir Bobs interviews regarding that day and the events after will make any grown man rather emotional.
 
RIP to all of them. That's all I can say, really. Words can't really describe how awful this tragedy was, even all these years on.
 
RIP

May all those who perished that terrible night be at peace
and know that they much remembered.

Sir Matt Busby, your legend remains in our heartbeat​
 
RIP

Pretty weird that the Busby Babes' last game was a 3-3 against Red Star Belgrade with United leading 3-0 before getting caught up, and yesterday what we know
 
RIP the babes and all the others on that plane who perished. Gone but never forgotten.
 
RIP Busby Babes.

One of the saddest and yet most defining chapters in our history. Gone but never forgotten.

To be fair, comes this day each year, all the forums and such I see from all of the clubs, including Liverpool and City, always pay their utmost respect and top marks to them.

As said in there, somethings trump rivalry, and people who sing about any tragedy are scum. I can't watch any more videos and such now, starting to well up a bit much.

If there is one thing about today that can be called good, its that it brings out the best in people and shows that most supporters of any club are good people

I was watching the flowers of manchester clip posted above earlier, and had to explain my tears to my little girl, and all about the babes, then she cried a little too, but it was a special moment passing the memory on.

One of the most emotional videos I've ever seen. It's a story that will live with me for a lifetime. So moving. The way we responded to it as well. Just top class. You couldn't make this stuff up.
 
A broken plane, a broken dream, a broken heart, a broken team. No word said, a silent vow, we loved you then, we love you now.

Never forgotten.
 
The Flowers of Manchester. RIP
