Some things are more important than any kind of rivalry in football or sport. Rest In Peace the #BusbyBabes who died in Munich Air Disaster 61 years ago today.
Gone but never forgotten 🙏#FlowersOfManchester pic.twitter.com/A5dG59cBCV

In fairness.
Why We Will Never Forget Munich (Manchester United)
If you use a tragedy like Munich, Hillsborough, Heysel, Bradford or Ibrox as a means of “getting one over” on an opposing team, you’re a peice of filth and nothing more.
It’s good to see rivals show respect when acknowledging these disasters.
Would love to have seen Duncan Edwards play, heard and read so much about him.
RIP, never forgotten.
The shocking thing about this tragedy was that the flight was abandoned and passengers taken off after the second attempt to take-off had failed. Then re-boarded for a third and fatal attempt.
Here’s a good read on the funeral of Cabra’s Liam Whelan, from the always excellent comeheretome blog.
