One cold and bitter Thursday in Munich, Germany, Eight great football stalwarts conceded victory, Eight 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, the skipper Captain Thain, Three times they tried to take off and twice turned back again. The third time down the runaway 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. And 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 brave 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 Big Swifty, who we will ne'er forget, the finest English 'keeper that ever graced the net. Oh, England's finest football team its record truly great, its proud successes mocked by a cruel turn of fate. Eight men will never play again, who met destruction there, the flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester This video is a memorial 50 years after that tragic day

What I love about Man Utd is that they went through such a tragic time (Munich Disaster) and have shown true character by rising back to the top. R.I.P Busby Babes Man Utd live on!!

R.I.P From Leeds Utd FC.

Manchester United - A club of all time heroes.. Heroes of the Busby's Babes will always be remebered. Last but not least.. other Man Utd's heroes will be remebered too.. Their time has past in Manchester United.. But the memories will remain forever.. George Best, Mark Hughes, Steve Bruce, Eric Cantona, Peter Schmeichel, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Teddy Sheringham, Roy Keane and others more who led Man Utd to glory

50 years later...Manchester United won the UEFA Champions League. Somewhere in heaven, the Eight Busby Babes who died on that fateful day, are smiling down on the 2008 team.

Stop the racism!

The soccer players in 1958 accident died, but they will live on in the hearts of every Man. United fan.

This is a lovely tribute. I was 6 years old when it happened but my father talked aboout it and in later years I met hundreds of Mancunians as part of my work and came to know Manchester as well as I do Glasgow. I felt as if I knew the team and my dad was always full of praise for Matt Busby. I love folk music and remember some of my patients belting out "The Flowers Of Manchester"at parties we used to organise but I just love the the videos title song by Enya.

Cant beleive the people who slag off these guys because they played for a football team that they dont support or like. They were just people, probably with more talent and ambition than you will ever have. Singing songs about people being dead on a runway and being glad they are dead...you need to grow the fuck up you sad bastards.

United's flag is deepest red It shrouded all our Munich dead Before their limbs grew stiff and cold Their hearts blood dyed it's every 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 keep the red flag flying high 'Cos Man United will never die!!!!!!!!
