50 years ago

50 years ago, a team a lay in the snow,
battered and bloodied some of them died
some of them survived,
Charlton and Matt Busby
they took us to wembley,
We beat benfica and we won the cup
all those years ago......

further verse/variation on the above...

There is a plaque at Man United
It's underneath the old Main Stand
It bares the name of Duncan Edwards
He was the finest in the Land..

great stuff tincan....I remember it now I think there is another verse

There is a plaque at Man United


There is a plaque at Man United,
It's underneath the old main stand,
It bears the name of Duncan Edwards,
He was the finest in the land.

But he died on Munich's runway,
Without a tear, without a sound,
His strong body battered and broke,
As he lay helpless on the ground.

From Salford hailed Eddie Colman,
He'd been a Red for all his life,
For the team he'd played for and supported,
Our dear Eddie Colman died.

The oldest babe was Roger Byrne,
He was the captain of the team,
He gave his life for Man United,
With his best friend Liam Whelan.

But one man survived the aircrash,
And he lived to tell the tale,
Of the boys who played in Red,
For they did not know how to fail.

So we'll drink a toast to Matt Busby,
And we'll drink one to that team,
They were acclaimed the whole world over,
They were the finest ever seen.
