Munich remembered

[pilgrimfrumprobus]

Just watched the BBC website's video on Munich remembered. It was very sensitively done and moved me to tears. I was only 11 at the time of the air crash, but, like all other young kids at the time, was totally devastated when I heard the news.
I was already an Argyle fan, but Man Utd were the team of the moment. Imagine if any of the top 4 teams in the Premier League were to suffer a similar fate today. These young players were our heroes who suddenly were no more. It was probably the first time in my life that I thought about mortality.
So, although I'll never support any team other than Argyle, I would never knock Man Utd after the tragedy of 1958.

Good thread.

The incident was before my time but it really was a tragedy. Really incomprehensible how so much young talent could be prematurely lost so suddenly.

I shall give the video a watch.
