They will never be forgotten

If not for the ill fated Munich air disaster on 6 February 1958 Duncan Edwards would have been the greatest English footballer of all time. He instead of Bobby Moore would have been the skipper of England's 1966 World Cup winning team. But fate had been unkind and his life was tragically cut short.He was only 21 when he died. Yes Duncan could even have been better than Pele as the former can play in any position.

I think Pele could. But you are right

Not just English

I'm sorry, I don't agree. The greatest player in the World. The only time I've cried at footie was when I watched Duncan play - I couldn't believe anyone could be that good. I find myself reminiscing more and more now and still the tears come.
