Duncen Edwards Grave I have the greatest footballer in the world,” said Sir Matt Busby in 1957

In Duncan Edwards, I believe I have the greatest footballer in the world,” said Sir Matt Busby in 1957.
Duncan Edwards played against Pele and Franz Beckenbauer. He played with George Best, Denis Law and England's World Cup winning captain Bobby Moore. But to Charlton, Edwards was king.

Duncen went on to play in four matches of the successful 1958 World Cup qualifying campaign, although of course, he would never see the tournament itself, and players of the time considered that his game simply did not have a weakness.

Duncan Edwards was a brilliant footballer with so much potential. Such a sad loss. How sad too that he was their only child to reach adulthood. Those poor parents. Thanks for the lovely tribute to him Alan. And thanks for researching and sharing info with us. Wonderful video as usual. Take care.

Duncan Edwards would have been captain of the 1966 side had he lived.

[@susanroberts2289]

I remember the Munich air disaster and the grief that affected the country. The story would be of interest to anyone of today’s supporters no matter which football team you support. It’s a true tale of disaster, heroism (Harry Gregg) hospitalisation and eventual survival (Matt Busby and Bobby Charlton) and tragic fatalities including the young and extremely talented player Duncan Edwards. Thankyou so much.

Being part of a family (by marriage) who all support Man U I have to confess I’d never heard of Duncan Edwards. Just before last Christmas I noticed a biography on him and bought it for my brother-in-law who really enjoyed it so this video has given me an insight into the great player he was and the tragic event that took the lives of so many of the Man U team. Thanks Alan for another great video ⚽️

[@AlbieSol560]

[@williamholden9705]

I saw Duncan Edwards play. He was a giant of the game and a truly fine young man. I remember seeing the newspaper headline bulletin board outside our local newsagents. It read 'Duncan Edwards Dies'. I was 13 years old and I stood there and cried my eyes out. As I write this comment the tears are once again rolling down my face. We will never see the likes of him again. Thanks for the memories and for the pleasure you gave in a life cut tragically short. RIP Duncan.

[@jujulionesselsa1416]

An absolute inspirational legend 💙💙💙💙

[@tarquin4592]

I'm an Arsenal fan from the 50's and was an autograph hunter back in those days. Never knew Duncan to say 'No' to any of the adoring London fans who used to go to Euston and get the signatures of all the northern teams like United, Liverpool, City, Burnley, Blackburn, Everton, Blackpool et al. He was not much older than us kids seeking him out and he would often get us in a queue and then sign our Football Monthlies, autograph books, photos, programmes, scrapbooks and football annuals. When we played in the street we always fantasized about being top players of the day, I always wanted to be Duncan; I'm not ashamed to say I cried when the news came about 2 weeks after the crash that Duncan had succumbed to his injuries. There is quite a famous photo of Stan Matthews, Billy Wright and Duncan training at Highbury running round the red ochre at the pitch side, both Matthews and Wright are legends of the game, but Duncan was a super legend revered and respected by not only Man United fans, but the rest of football. By the way, he was built like the proverbial outhouse!

[@woodenseagull1899]

He was known for his speed. A complete player, World class RIP.

[@jujulionesselsa1416]

Duncan bless him was talking away, and then he suddenly passed away. I love him so much and he will always be loved by everyone. Rip Duncan I had just been born in 1958 during that ice cold snowy weather the 4th of February.

Hi Juju we were born the same year me in June he was so good I never had heard of him but now so many top people thought he was the best take care alan

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

I was absolutely amazed Karl by the number of top professionals that thought he was maybe the best footballer in the world, he would have certainly been a great asset to England. Thank you my friend. Alan

[@KryptonitetoallBS]

Duncan had died years before I was born but his memory will forever remain. My grandfather spoke in glowing terms about him as he watched him every week during the 1950's. There's no doubt in my mind whatsoever that he would have been United and England's greatest ever player had he survived and that United would have won many more European Cups, League Championships and FA Cups than they have. I'm equally certain that England would have probably won the world cup in 1962 and 1970 if Edwards had survived and been fit and healthy. Big Dunc would definitely have been England Captain as he was a born leader. Thank you for this video. I have been to see his statue in Dudley but I will be back to visit his grave and to pay my respects to the great man. You were the best ever English footballer. God bless you Duncan ❤

How beautiful. Such a beautiful headstone and resting place. I had heard of him so sad that the best Manchester United players lost their lives in Munich. I was far to young to remember but with all the rememberences over the years I'm glad people who weren't born then know about Such a sad thing for Manchester United. I was born in Manchester and support Manchester United even though I am now in Yorkshire and have been for 26 years. Thanks for sharing this story Alan really enjoyed it love from Holmfirth West Yorkshire 💜 🫰

Hi Gill thank you for your recollections from your childhood very interesting. If I told you that about 20 years ago I was invited to Manchester United to take pictures of Roger Moore and Sir Alex Ferguson UNICEF ambassadors and the only player I recognised was Beckham and I actually said at half time is this a good football team and everybody broke into laughter that's the total truth :-) I don't follow sports but he was as you said an excellent footballer I was amazed.

My late father knew the family and we use to live near the grave yard when we were kids. As kids our dad would take us there, my Dad's brother also died young at 21 years and is buried just up from Duncan's grave. My Dad told me that the grave yard was full of flowers from top to bottom when the funeral took place. It's a double tragedy because she also lost the baby daughter as well and is buried in the same grave. Very sad. Yes, he would have been one of the very best or the best if he had lived.

Really enjoyed Duncan's video. He's still talked about here in the Black Country.

His mum was Anne and his sister died v. young (14 weeks). His fiance, Molly, moved away, not sure if she's still alive but I was reading something about her online not so long ago. She remarried and moved to the west country. The strangest parts of the Edwards' story are told by Bill Foulkes who remembered that it was Coleman in 1957 who the Madrid players were raving about. Anyway, after the crash, Foulkes had had trouble sleeping and one day that Summer, he was sleeping at his landlady's place, and he was in the box room above the stairs. And outside he heard a car pull up and heard footsteps on the garden pathway. The door opened and these footsteps came up the stairs and into his room walked David Pegg and Eddie Coleman (who were very close friends). 'You coming with us, Bill' they said. Foulkes said, nah I'm alright. And with that they left and he fell back to sleep. And he said that after that he stopped having bad dreams and just got better.
