Munich Air Disaster
Today is the 55th year and oneth day since the Munich Air Disaster, I've read a lot about it, but don't think I can truly ever comprehend the meaning of being a Man U supporter when that horrible accident happened. Can realli sympathise with Sir Bobby C, who has to relive it every once a year everytime it comes around again.I reember reading once about how Chelsea said they wanted to become the biggest club in the world. But being the biggest club in the world is not just simply about selling the most shirts, or even winning the most trophies.Its so much more than that. Its about legends, history and tradition. Although Liverpool is remembered for winning many Euro championships, the true liverpool fans always speak so greatly of Anfield, the Kop End, and the dynamic duo of Bob Paisley and Bill Shankly. For Man U, it has always been the busby babes, and how like a phoenix from the ashes of Munich, they rose again to win the 1968 European Cup just a few years after the horrific accident decimated the team. People will remember the likes of Best, Charlton, Keane, Cantona and Beckham. Wat about Chelsea? Perhaps just how they bought the premiership. Arsenal too although forming a legend on their own, is still a long way off the Mancunian and Merseyside Reds.
I guess I will never realli know how it felt to be a Man U supporter at at time, and I dont realli want to. But more importantly, Im proud of the fact that they regrouped and won it for the people who lost their lives, in 1968.
Why do we fall?
So we can learn to get up again.
Out.
