Re: Duncan Edwards
Was speaking to a guy this week who played against Duncan Edwards.
The guy in question is 72 and works for us, he retires in October, and he casually mentioned that he used to play for West Brom and Burton Albion. So I asked him if he ever played against anyone famous, first words out of his mouth 'I played against Duncan Edwards', proud as punch. Says he never got anywhere near him, unbelievable player. He said the most amazing thing about him was the size of him, just £#%&!ing huge, thighs like tree trucks and a shot like a canon with either foot, best player he ever saw. Nothing new, I know, but I was impressed that I had bumped into someone that once played against him. |

Re: Duncan Edwards
Visited his grave when over last year with my 12 yr old.
No idea where to start looking when I got there so asked this bit of a rough looking @#%&! where Mr Edwards was "'....oh Duncan - he's over there down on the right.'' He spoke with affection - like he was the greatest player Wolves ever had and not someone who I suppose turned his back on the local club to play for their then rivals. |
