Manchester United

[Stonemeister]

Til minne om Geoff Bent, Roger Byrne, Eddie Colman, Duncan Edwards, Mark Jones, David Pegg, Tommy Taylor og Liam Whelan, The Busby Babes. Hvil i fred.

 

Og selvsagt også de andre omkomne.

Hvil i fred, Busby Babes!

[NightKeeper]

Var et sterkt følelsesmessig inntrykk jeg fikk rundt 3-tiden idag, var på treningssenteret, ble bare tom inni meg.

 

Måtte det aldri skje med noen andre lag igjen, 8 spillere døde på et mesterslag, hadde vunnet ligaen to år på rad, med sitt unge mannskap under Sir Matt Busbys ledelse, 2 spillere kunne aldri spiller igjen. 10 spillere borte, samt den største av dem alle, Duncan Edwards, som ville blitt en av tidenes beste spillere og hadde vært kaptein under VM1966. Samt går mine tanker til de andre som døde i ulykken også.

 

One cold and bitter Thursday in Munich, Germany,

Seven great football stalwarts conceded victory,

Seven men will never play again who met destruction there,

The flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester

 

Matt Busby's boys were flying, returning from Belgrade,

This great United family, all masters of their trade,

The pilot of the aircraft and the skipper Captain Thain,

Three times they tried to take her up and twice turned back again.

 

The third time down the runaway disaster followed close,

There was ice upon the wings and the aircraft never rose,

It ran upon the marshy ground, it broke, it overturned.

And seven of the team were killed when the battered aircraft burned.

 

Roger Byrne and Tommy Taylor who were capped for England's side.

And Ireland's Billy Whelan and England's Geoff Bent died,

Mark Jones and Eddie Colman, and David Pegg also,

Before the blazing wreckage went ploughing through the snow.

 

The trainer, coach and secretary, and a member of the crew,

Also eight sporting journalists who with United flew,

and one of them was Big Swifty, we never will forget,

the greatest English 'keeper who ever graced a net.

 

They said that Duncan Edwards had an injury to his brain,

They said that Jackie Blanchflower would never play again,

Matt Busby he was lying there, the father of the team

Six months or more did pass before he saw another game

 

Oh, England's finest football team its record truly great,

its proud successes mocked by a cruel turn of fate.

Seven men will never play again, who met destruction there,

the flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester

[Benitez]

Må si jeg kjenner det i hjertet jeg også, til tross for rivalseringen. Det må ha vært en forferdelig ulykke...

[Limbeck]

Skal ikke pirke for mye men Duncan Edwards var ire.

 

6 Februar er en sørgedag for fans av Manchester United. De skal aldri glemmes.

[Sunhome20]

Forever Remembered, The Busby babes.

The Flowers Of Manchester.

[NightKeeper]

Skal ikke pirke for mye men Duncan Edwards var ire.

 

Ehh, nei?

[Limbeck]

Skal ikke pirke for mye men Duncan Edwards var ire.

 

Ehh, nei?

 

Oi. Det ser ut til at jeg tar feil. Har alltid trodd han var ire. Han er fødd i Dudley i West Midlands.

Glory Glory ManUtd, og vi minnes BusbyBabes

This great United family, all masters of their trade,

The pilot of the aircraft, the skipper Captain Thain,

Three times they tried to take off and twice turned back again.

 

The third time down the runway disaster followed close,

There was slush upon that runaway and the aircraft never rose,

It ploughed into the marshy ground, it broke, it overturned.

And eight of the team were killed as the blazing wreckage burned.

 

Roger Byrne and Tommy Taylor who were capped for England's side.

Ande Ireland's Billy Whelan and England's Geoff Bent died,

Mark Jones and Eddie Colman, and David Pegg also,

They all lost their lives as it ploughed on through the snow.

 

Big Duncan he went too, with an injury to his brain,

And Ireland's great Jack Blanchflower will never play again,

The great Matt Busby lay there, the father of his team

Three long months passed by before he saw his team again.

 

The trainer, coach and secretary, and a member of the crew,

Also eight sporting journalists who with United flew,

and one of them was Big Swifty, who we will ne'er forget,

the finest English 'keeper that ever graced the net.

[Ol'H]

United's flag is deepest red

United's flag is deepest red,

It shrouded all our Munich dead,

Before their limbs grew stiff and cold,

Their heart's blood dyed it's ev'ry fold.

 

Then raise United's banner high,

Beneath it's shade we'll live and die,

So keep the faith and never fear,

We'll keep the Red Flag flying here.

 

We'll never die, we'll never die,

We'll never die, we'll never die,

We'll keep the Red flag flying high,

Because Man United will never die.

ok, buddies:

er det lagt noe som heldst som ligner på remake/film av münchenulykken?

[Raste]

Kamp nå i helga mot Shitty, håper faen meg at vi slår dem med flere mål. Det hadde vært en fin måte å hedre Busby Babes på

 

Lurer også på om det har kommet film om Munchen ulykken. Det har ihvertfall kommet dokumentar med "remake" av ulykken osv.

[Kiman™]

Minner The Busby Babes, kanskje det beste laget noensinne.

 

Det var STORT å se over 90000 være stille i ett minutt på Wembley, det var STORT å se folkemassen utenfor Old Trafford og det var veldig rørende å se live-sendingene på MUTV. Virkelig en verdig markering av denne tragiske hendelsen.

Hva mener du egentlig med det? Tror du Busby Babes hadde slått dagens United-lag?

Tragisk ulykke. United hadde sikkert styret i England og Europa i mange, mange år fremover med det laget.

Det kan vel aldri vites egentlig. Uansett, det var et kjempegodt lag Busby Babes hadde.

Du kan ikke egentlig sammenligne.

Ja, og som bivirkning så tar pool ledelsen i europa en stundframover.

Tja, vet ikke med deg, men jeg er rimelig sikker på at dagens United-lag hadde gruset Busby Babes ganske lett. Men det er ikke sikkert alle er enige med meg. Nå har ikke jeg sett så mye av Busby Babes og United-laget generelt som spilte for over 40-50 år siden. Men jeg tror dagens United-lag hadde slått laget som vant The Treble i 99 så..
