EDITORS COMMENTS
The Manchester United team that were involved in the tragic Munich air crash in February 1958. This poignant print captures a group of football icons who left an indelible mark on the sport and our hearts. Standing tall in the back row are Tom Curry, Duncan Edwards, Mark Jones, Ray Wood, Bobby Charlton, Bill Foulkes alongside their resilient manager Matt Busby. In the front row, we see John Berry, Bill Whelan, Roger Byrne, David Pegg and Eddie Colman; young men full of promise and talent. Little did they know that fate would intervene so cruelly on that fateful day. This image serves as a reminder of both triumph and tragedy. These brave souls had just achieved remarkable success by reaching the semi-finals of the European Cup before disaster struck at Munich Airport. The world mourned as eight players lost their lives while others fought for survival against all odds. Their legacy remains etched in history - not only for their exceptional skills on the field but also for their unwavering spirit and determination to rebuild Manchester United from its darkest hour. Decades may have passed since this photograph was taken during those vibrant 1950s years when football held a special place in people's hearts. Yet today it stands as a testament to resilience and unity amidst adversity; a tribute to those who perished too soon but will forever be remembered.
