I still remember vividly today the news saying that the Man U players were in an air crash at Munich and taht quite a few players had lost their life. I walked down to the chippy about 5:30 that afternoon, it was a dull drizzly evening and I had tears in my eye's. I remember the people in the chip shop discussing it and everybody was stunned.

I was 13 at the time and already an avid Aston Villa supporter and had got great pleasure from Aston Villa beating Man U in the FA Cup in 1957. We had beaten the Busby Babes.

I can't remember all the players that survived, but 2 that made it and I was so happy for them, were Sir Matt Busby and Sir Bobby Charlton.
