I would like it to be one where I pay my respects.
They will never be forgotten.
RIP.

Munich Remembered - 6th February 1958
- Thread starter wr8_utd
- Start date
Nice post mate, careful you will have us changing our opinion of rival fans
On another note I have a huge tribute lined up in my history thread for the babes.
Thanks, Johnny.
Good first post
Always cry on this day. Crying now.
RIP.
It's hard to hold back the tears and not feel a sense of woe and sorrow.
I usually (being in another time zone) try to just confine my remembrance to a small degree and pay my respects then move away because of it.
I get far to entrenched in the pain that everyone went through. They are there to be remembered for what they could have been, what they should have been. Taken way to soon.
This thread has brought me close to tears.
RIP.
Gone but never forgotten.
I've just read this thread through from start to finish, watched every youtube video, and I'm a mess.
Amazing to think what would have happened had the babes been able to grow up and mature as a team.
But also what that might have meant for Best and Law.

Really emotional at the Munich memorial before the game. Will post some videos when I get back.
My view of the flag.
Does anyone know If we are going to start using the flag at every game?
Thats the plan hp and the club allowing more flags and banners into all areas of the ground.
The blue scouse are generally a respectful bunch. I take it they behaved today?
Pretty much apart from singing during the flowers of manchester over the PA, they are there to cheer their team on after all I guess. We did the same at Anfield.
As promised heres a video of the tribute at 3pm yesterday. Quite a few lads close to tears.
Great job by Pete as ever.
The flag is a superb tribute. Will it be used weekly?
Talk of next game Reading and definitely for the Real Madrid visit.
I think that at the Madrid tie it will be especially poignant.
There's a documentary on C5 tonight about the crash, starts at 10pm.

R.I.P to the Busby Babes, gone but never forgotten.
Wasn't alive (though my dad and granddad told me loads about the team, the day, the aftermath).
Strange how "attached" you can feel to a group of players you never met? Gets me every year... is now.
The Flowers of Manchester that will never wilt.
May they continue to rest in peace.
Sad day and so many lives lost and families effected. Also the day that set us on the path to becoming what we are today.
Real Madrid wanted Sir Matt Busby as their manager and he said “ no thanks, I want to make Manchester United what you guys are”
After Munich when Real won the European cup they offered to give United the trophy and offered De Steffano on loan. Sir Matt rejected both and within 10 years we won the European Cup when it was a truly elite cup, I think from that is a life lesson.

Always wondered what could have been and how many more European cups we would have won.

I always remember my dads words on this day
If God would have spared those lads that European cup would never have left these shores.
