RIP 23 Passengers And 8 Manchester United Players And 8 Sporting Journalists And Swift The Best Goalkeeper Of All Time

[@harold5337]

I’m a Leeds fan and although us and Manchester United are rivals, I will drop my sword and pay respects to those killed at Munich. Nobody should be killed at such a young age. RIP to the Busby Babes.

How different would World football be had the Disaster not occurred. England would have won the 1958 World Cup for starters.

[@mr.particular2k455]

Damn 😥

[@Ryan_Giggs97]

Had that terrible disaster never happened I can imagine that The Treble would have been achieved by Harry Gregg, Bill Foulkes, Roger Byrne (Captain), Eddie Colman, Mark Jones, Duncan Edwards, Johnny Berry/ Kenny Morgans, Liam Whelan/ Bobby Charlton, Tommy Taylor, Dennis Viollet and Albert Scanlon/ David Pegg some 38-41 years before it was in 1999

Can’t believe Liverpool fans call this a comedy!!!

[@harold5337]

Leeds fan here, and I will drop my sword here. These kids didn’t deserve to be killed.

[@PeruvianPotato]

Liverpool fans are the same types to find Heysel to be hilarious so I'm not surprised

[@Mk-ed4rg]

@@PeruvianPotatoalways have to make it about Liverpool as usual, typical Manc.😂

[@paradisehotel5005]

​@@PeruvianPotatoSome unfortunately found Hillsborough hilarious.

I came here after watching this story in dhan dhana dhan goal movie

[@paradisehotel5005]

1:42 Not an "accident". This kind of thing was permitted in those days.

[@dondamon4669]

Jesus they don’t look like kids! They must of all been in the 30s and the press just invented the busby babes ! They were all really old!

[@zucc1361]

You need to do some research mate. The average of that Man utd squad was 21 and 22. "They were all really old"🤡. Mate it was the 50s, players weren't obsessed with beauty and also considering the time there wasn't much. Receding hairline, broken teeth were considered normal for a man in his mid 20s.

[@harold5337]

Duncan Edwards was 21. That’s very young.

[@daleHarrison93]

What do you expect young men to look like in them days? A bunch of divvies with fake tans, earrings and a manbag??? oh no that's just 2023, proper lads back in them days

[@paradisehotel5005]

The "Busb Babes" tag was coined in about 1953.

[@MARKCRASTO]

Why do athletes keep getting killed at Munich?😒
