I was 8 years old and I used to go to watch United & City with my Dad, I adored Duncan Edwards.I suppose it was like kids nowadays with boy band members, I had come home from school for lunch and was hanging my coat behind the kitchen door when Mum told me Duncan had died. I didn't go back to school that afternoon. I still remember that day perfectly I can still hear my Mum's gentle voice and I still miss my first crush.

Hi.
Welcome, and thanks for sharing.

Thanks man. Heard so many great stories about Duncan. Really wonder what would have been if he survived....

Welcome aboard Susannah.

What a great evocative post that was.

My Dad is a city fan but he said Duncan Edwards was the greatest player he ever saw play the game. That's good enough recommendation for me, although I dont think he took his admiration for Dunc to your levels

Duncan died on this day in 1958 from injuries suffered in the Munich air disaster.

RIP Duncan,never to be forgotten.
