A beautiful testimony to The Babes and to Geoff Bent. As a United fan it is just so special to know of these things. Painful but, at the same time, wonderful. Well done, Steve.

Went there a few years ago around about the time of the Munich air disaster anniversary. Also went to see Eddie Colman's headstone in Ordsall Cemetery.

Nice one stu 👍

[@SlurpyDave254]

Aw mate that was a great nod to the Munich lads. Geoff was so unlucky, never even played in the match. I never knew Johnny Aston's DAD played for UTD. Just googled him and was born in Prestwich. My dad would have loved this, he always talked about the disaster all the way through his life...Stretford lad born me dad...thanks Steve for that...brilliant mate👏👏👏

[@theparadoxclub1326]

Cheers Dave 👍

Until Byrne was injured at Highbury Geoff wasn’t even due to travel and would have really made his name in the recovery afterwards such a shame left a wife and daughter

[@eslermanu47]

Still gets to me and I am 77 years old was united mad at school and found out the tragic news on a rainy morning when my friend told me about the crash rip all. Time does not ease the pain.

[@theparadoxclub1326]

It still hurts after 66 years. Just seeing their faces, lining up before the match, their background stories.. it never goes away the pain

[@lynnedayer8474]

One of my earliest memories, Geoff was my Dad's cousin.
