Never Forget

RIP.

never forgotten

Today, Tomorrow and always.

We Will Remember.

RIP babes.

Forever and Ever.....

anyone going to OT later?

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them

How they laughed, and loved, and played the game together
Played the game and gave it every ounce of life
And the crowds they thronged to see such free young spirits
But, good God, there wasn't many coming home

The dice were cast, for some the last, the final challenge
On a snowbound ground in far off Serbia
The tie was won, the songs were sung, we sang together
But good God, there won't be many coming home

Roger Byrne, Mark Jones and Salford's Eddie Coleman
Tommy Taylor, Geoffrey Bent, and David Pegg
Duncan Edward, and Dublin's own boy Liam Whelan
My good God, there wasn't any who came home

Then Murphy picked the standard up
When all looked lost he made the cut
The fresh young flowers he'd fondly nourished
On a Munich runway had sadly perished

With aching heart he beat the gong
And told the world the Babes lived on
Then Bestie came, he eased the pain
With Charlton, Law and Crerand

The years between were cold and mean
They never had that feeling
Pretenders came and left again
There wasn't any healing

Then Fergie came and fanned the flames
With Eric's gallic passion
He gave us Giggs, he gave us Scholes,
He gave us Butt and Beckham

He brought in Keane to lead the team
To even greater glory
My nightmare's gone, my dream moves on
Again I see the phoenix

There are those gone down that long, long road before us
Yet each morn we try and keep them in our sight
In memory's eye the Busby Babes are all immortal
The Red Devil's spirit lives, it never died.

A beautiful read Wee man.

Thanks for posting.

Some brilliant posts on here....RIP Babes

utterly heartbreaking what happened to all those young lads. all that unfulfilled potential...

they truly are the soul of manchester united and will never be forgotten.

rest in peace, lads.

Can't say much other than RIP.

R.i.p.

few lads I have met off here who arent from Manchester have indirectly started supporting united because of Munich - their Dads were effected so much by the crash that they pushed their sons in the right direction

my old fella (a blue) went to the first game after munich, said he realised then that united would always be different than other clubs - and he was right

From the dark snows of Munich back in '58,
I remember a team that once was so great,
Their memory it still lingers on in my mind,
So I'll follow United, 'till the end of my time.
And its Man United, Man United F.C. They're by far the greatest team, The world has ever seen.
They fought all their battles in Manchester's name,
So surrender, you bastards, you'll all die in vain,
Others may rise and others may fall,
But the great Man United stay greatest of all.
And its Man United, Man United F.C. They're by far the greatest team, The world has ever seen.
"It's glory or nothing" the great man he said,
There's nothing on Earth quite like being a Red,
I'll follow them far and I'll follow them near,
I'll follow United on whisky and beer.
And its Man United, Man United F.C. They're by far the greatest team, The world has ever seen.

I feel this is rather poignant today of all days





They shall grow not old,
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn,
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them.

RIP boys forever in our hearts
