Busby Babes - Munich Disaster

In April 1955 UEFA established the European cup, a football competition for the champion clubs of the UEFA-affiliated nation but in the first league itself English league winner Chelsea denied the entry by the UEFA then something great happened in the following season. Manchester United won the English league managed by Mat Busby. They defied the league and the odds to reach the semi final of the Champions league, eventually knocked out by Real Madrid who went on to win the UEFA cup. Again they secured the entry in the UEFA cup for the next season but destiny had stored something else for them.
This blog is dedicated to the Busby babes who always live by their passion.

Cut down in their prime,
In silence, on that day,
February 58, they got what they need,
From Belgrade and back home to sleep

We will never forget you:
Geoff Bent
Roger Byrne
Eddie Colman
Duncan Edwards (survived the crash, but died in hospital 15 days later)
Mark Jones
