Apparently all the current Man U team were made to watch a special DVD about the disaster so they understood what it was all about. They were apparently quite moved. Modern footballers eh?
Certainly at a time when footballers never cease to amaze me with their greed, lack of loyalty and sheer stupidity (or all three in the case of Ashley Cole), it's worth remembering how a potentially great team was absolutely destroyed by such a tragic event. We often hear the name of Duncan Edwards mentioned and we'll never know just how great he could have been.
It's a sobering thought that United are making the most of the "opportunity" to market some Munich related merchandise (fifty quid for a Busby Babes shirt, sponsored poster outside the stadium etc.). While I can't like Man Utd at any price (and my own club are not much better these days), I will spare a few minutes on 6 Feb to remember those who died in the name of football.
It doesn't matter who you support, it should be a day when all football fans remember.
