Legend

On the 21 st of February 1958 a great great player took his last breath in a hospital bed in Munich .
The air disaster claimed another victim.
R I P Big Duncan..

to true grim.

Here ,Here , I too would dearly like to ad my thought's and prayer's for him.R.I.P. ....................................................GB

Listening to top people in the sport would have turned out to be the best player this country has had rest in piece D E

Duncan Edwards, along with Bobby Charlton and Tommy Taylor were three of the best signings made by United in the pre 'Munich' era.

strange reply from someone who constantly berates any united player , fan or team ? .

Strange indeed .
Duncan and Bobby were big big friends at Utd as youngsters .
Tommy Taylor was signed from Barnsley by Sir Matt
for the sum of £29.999.
He didnt want to be known as a £30.000 player .
And what a player .
Look at his scoring record for club and country.
Fabulous .

Grimshaw and Whups.

Not strange at all, just saying that they were three great players of the Busby era, as well as George Best of the post Munich era and the Class of 92 etc in the Ferguson era.

Commenting about about the United club, Managers, Players and its Owners is not just confine to its own supporters as you two seem to think.

It could be they think it "strange" that someone "fed up" with "the amount of United posts on here" can't stop posting about them.

Chatty,

Its a free country to make comment on anything, even if it upsets some!

I couldn't agree more
I was just pointing out your inconsistency (again)

Chatty

Any chance of making some comment about United rather what others have to say?

Owd codger, you should know by now, only Utd fans can comment on anything about Utd......

I would but I run the risk of making folk "fed up"

ask yourself this frecky why does this guy constantly brings up just 1 club to berate ? . signs of laughing boy & it,s funny that his blog started when laughing boy ( neverstill) got their marching orders for the 5th time ? .

Chatty ,,
Whups ,,

hows the dog doin ken ? .

Thank you for asking whups.
I sadly lost her.
The dreaded C in her right hand hind leg which had spread .
No choice to put her to sleep .A christian of a greyhound .Not many lead her to the bend at Belle Vue .Terrific when on the bunny.
V much miss her .

i,m so sorry grim & i know wot it,s like . it seems yours went the same way as mine & i lost my staffie thru cancer but it struck the 1st time in 1993 & we had her operated on & got another 6 yrs from her . my condolences grim .

Frecky,

The problem is that they don't comment about the present United, only about the past and how many trophies United have won, especially compared to City or just attack any anybody who dare to make comment about the present state of the club.

Would be nice for a chang to hear about what they as fervent United supporters think is now wrong at present day United.

yet another attack on purely united issues . you give yourself away laughing boy & constantly looking for allies to back you up .

Whups, owd codger seems more interested in united affairs than any United supporters, he makes more comments about them than any other sport.

shades of laughing boy & neverstill tiger ? . seems funny as he joined when laughing boy & neverstill got their marching orders for the 5th time ? .

Thank you for your kind words re my greyhound Maggie whups .
Sorry to hear about your dog .
I feel your pain.
I see codger cobbledick is betraying himself again .
Its as if he dosnt realise we know who he is .

yes grim & tiger cat seems to think the same .who,s this fool think he is & it,s pretty obvious that he,s got multiple accounts on here .

Can anyone actually put proof on here that owd codger is LG etc or are you all surmising. Could this be a case of being innocent until proven guilty, just the same as you kept saying to everyone else regarding Mason Greenwood.....you can't have it both ways..

Frecky,

If I stood in front of Whups and his gang and swore on a bible that I was not the person they think I am, they would still not believe me.

If they cannot tell the difference in what I say and what the person they think I am says, there is something wrong with their level of IQ.

Nobody needs to prove anything on these boards, everybody is entitled to their opinion,
One thing stands out with the posts is that freaky and owd codger must have a serious problem when it comes to united,

Thats only my opinion.

Tiger Cat

My only problem with United is seeing how a great club like they are is no longer the playing power it was in the past as a result of not being unable to recruit a top class winning manager like they have had in the past with Busby, Docherty and Ferguson and now not like they now have at City, Chelsea and Liverpool etc.

If other big clubs can do it, so should United!

Eyup, it must be TC's turn to peruse the boards and look for anything Utd that some of their fans don't like....Why are you lot still trying to exercise what you still think is a god given right to be top of the tree. Any criticism of them is answered by name calling or deflection off the facts.....I don't have a problem with Utd , just some of their arrogant fans....
That's my opinion
Freaky...

i would,nt believe you codger if you was with jesus christ & he verified you . laughing boy told so many lies you did,nt know wot the truth was . as far as "arrogant fans" is concerned there,s quite a few others on here besides man u fans .

looks like the club has,nt bought any of duncan,s artefacts . if it,s true then it,s shameful .

Are there many commenting that actually saw Duncan Edwards play for United?

I did see him play on many occasions .
At O T and away .
Did you .?

No. I turned 8 a couple of weeks before he passed away. Obviously you are an own un. As for watching him I think you will be in the minority.

I watched them a couple of times, Charlton at Old Trafford and Bolton at Burnden. Duncan Edwards played inside left that day.

I did as a youngster when he was a member of the great 'Busby Babes' team.
'
Now that was a great United team and all British players!

So sad, what happened to it!

i,m so glad the club bought some of his memrobilia .

Whups

On that, we agreed!

I am being a little pedantic now To correct an earlier post .
The late great Billy Whelan was Irish ,
Dublin born.
A Busby babe who lost his life at Munich .
R I P Billy .

Grimshaw

My mistake, as I forgot about Billy Whelan, but I think you will agreed that he was at least from the British Isles and not Europe.

And like you say, a great player!

I wouldn’t recommend walking down Grafton Street in Dublin and saying that Dublin is part of the British Isles.

Or at Shelbourne park and Harolds cross greyhounds.
My pal and myself visited Ireland a few years ago looking at greyhound pups .
We went into a pub in Kildare to ostensibly watch the England football team play on T V .
We politely asked if the T V could be switched on .
A young lady of aprox 20 years old who heard our request jumped up and shouted so the whole room could hear "F.ck the brits ".
Just saying .

My Wife and I went on a holiday all around the Republic and the only hostile comment we ever heard was by a old man in a Ballybunnion pub and everywhere we went, were made more than welcome. In Tralee, we had a great night of Irish Music and Songs with some local Irish people.

Even in Dublin, both on the holiday, weekends and another visit, when relatives and myself went to watch Wigan Warriors play Leeds Rhinos and again we were made welcome, especially around the pubs on Temple Bar.

In fact, many from the UK from the UK go for weekends to Dublin including Stag/Hen parties.

Rugby Union supporters also have a great time when they go to Dublin for a Six Nations game.

Seen more sectarian nastiness in Belfast!

p.s. You will always get a minority who are still living in 1922!

Good to hear but none of the Republic is in the UK. I worked and lived in Belfast in 1996 and 1998 so understand the hostilities. For good measure I lived in Blackrock ( just outside Dublin) for two years in 2001 and 2002. I also spent ten days touring North and South a few years ago. Donegal was the highlight of our tour.
