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.

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 ⚽️

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.

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!

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 ❤

There wasn't a day or a week went by when a member of the public would call into the station or ask an officer walking the town centre where Duncan Edwards grave was. All officers could give the location of Duncan's grave off by heart.

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.

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.

Duncan Edwards looked like he would've been a great Footballer had he lived, super Legend. Another KZbinr from the U.K. by the name of Grave Interest(Lee) also visited Mr. Edward's grave(this was 3 or 4 years ago, I haven't seen the video yet but will soon). I stumbled upon his Channel a few days ago, so far so good. All in all, another instant classic in the books. It would be cool if you did a collaboration with Grave Days(Darren) or Unusual Things(Paul), I would definitely watch the video(s). Nicely done Alan, much respect from the Western U.S. 👍🏽😎👍🏽

​@@MotorHomeBeepBeepI did a double-check on Lee's Channel(Grave Interest), it wasn't Duncan Edwards' grave he visited 3 or 4 years ago. It was the grave of Sir Matt Busby(I'm guessing he was the Founder of the Busby Babes, I'll check out that video soon), Lee also visited the grave of a Busby Babe by the name of Geoff Bent. I'll check out that video soon as well, just wanted to give you a quick update on that. Would be cool if Lee visited Duncan Edwards' grave like you did recently, all the best.

My late Dad visited Duncan’s Grave in Dudley, Birmingham as he watched the Busby Babes on the terraces of Old Trafford as a child, Dad told me that he was “ Fearless “ Dad even took pictures of the Stained Glass Windows in the Church, Dad said that his Thighs were “ HUGE “, Birmingham T.V Comedian Lenny Henry’s Mum is buried just in front of Duncan RIP “ BIG DUNCAN “ 🇾🇪🙏🕊️.

I never saw he play too young but from what i've seen on video and what my dad has told, he has said many a time if Duncan had been alive at the time of the 66 world cup, there would've been no Bobby Moore lifting the trophy

John Charles was said to be world class as centre forward and centre back and broke world transfer record when joining juventus,voted the best foreign player ever in seria A.Edwards no doubt would of been world class if he lived longer but Charles above him
