Don't want anybody to take this the wrong way, but last year being at OT was one of the most worthwhile things I have done in my young life. Such a memorable afternoon, very emotional, what could have been, we own a hell of a lot to those boys.

United Review
On 6th February 1958 an aircraft returning from Belgrade crashed at Munich Airport. Of the twenty-one passengers who died, twelve were players or officials of the Manchester United Football Club. Many others lie injured. It is the sad duty of us who serve Manchester United, to offer our heart felt sympathy and condolence. Here is a tragedy which will sadden us for years to come. But in this we are not alone. An unprecedented blow to British football has touched the hearts of millions and we express our deep gratitude to many who have sent messages of sympathy and floral tributes. Wherever football is played United are mourned, but we rejoice that many of our party have been spared and wish them a speedy and complete recovery. Words are inadequate to describe our thanks and appreciation of the truly magnificent work of the surgeons and nurses of the Rechts der Isar Hospital at Munich. But for their superb skill and deep compassion our casualties would have been greater. To Professor Georg Maurer we offer our eternal gratitude. Although we mourn our dead and grieve for our wounded we believe that our great days are not done for us. The sympathy and encouragement of the Football world, and particularly our supporters, will justify and inspire us. The road back may be long and hard but with the memories of those who died at Munich, of their stirring achievements and wonderful sportsmanship ever with us...MANCHESTER UNITED WILL RISE AGAIN. Chairman H. P. Hardman |

One of many reasons why MUFC is always going to be so much more than a football club to you , me and thousands of others around this country. I am 20, so never witnessed any of the babes on the turf, but count my lucky stars I have seen two European cup wins in my time, and I am grateful to those who laid the foundations for what would be glory in years to come.
Elderly gentleman near to the plaque last year after the ceremony on his own, stood in floods of tears glanced up and saw me, wiped his eyes and laughed saying ' I prmised myself I wouldn't' I smiled back and shook his hand. This chap then unzipped his winter coat and reveiled a blue scarf. Something that will stay with me forever. |
