The Darkest Day In Football
February 6th, 1958 was to be the darkest day in football, but the people that boarded flight BEA Elizabethan were not to know that as the Busby Babes sang about their victory in Yugoslavia on a snow-filled winter’s day.
The Munich air disaster has gone some way to making Manchester United into the club it is today. The crash, in which 23 people died, saw the desecration of a football team. Matt Busby, the only member of the coaching staff to survive, had to build the team up from nothing and turn it into a force. Fellow survivor Bobby Charlton was integral to the team duing that spell and fought to help Busby succeed for those who perished, of which duncan Edwards, one of the true United greats, was one. As we watch the team every week, we should be proud. We should be thankful that the club survived and we should cheer on every player that wears the red.
