51 years ago today - Munich Air Disaster.

[Withdean Wanderer]

That's better....

Yes, i'm a Manchester United fan who has seen them play once - the fact that i've got an Albion season ticket and have seen them 194 times in my 9 seasons watching them obviously means nothing.

Idiot.

old favourite of liverpool and chelsea.

I was merely pointing out how easily your words could be interpreted as being mildly ironic.

I don't think I mentioned your allegiance to Man Utd.

You've got to go to Elland Road for the really nasty ' Munich ' stuff. Heard it first hand on a bus full of Leeds fans going back to the city centre. They also seem to be very fond of Harold Shipman........!

Dont care about a plane crash and I dont care about Jade Goody.

Well done.

Have you had your humanity beaten out of you or something? Shameful.

If only Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper et al had not got on that plane, I wonder how many caps Buddy would have got playing for England.. mind you he was no good in the air....

0/10.

Anyway regarding this thread, how is it people can denigrate this thread to partisan points about Manchester United, is beyond me.

It WAS a disaster for human beings, and it was an awful moment for British sport - regardless of what team, advertising hoardings, and league positions.

spot on

sponsorless kits, one of the most well respected minutes silences ive EVER heard. every fan being given a FREE scarve - thats nearly 80,000 fans, if anything i reckon they might have LOST money

still, any excuse to have a pop at man united

It isn’t just dirty Leeds fans who sing about the munich air disaster. I’m pretty sure it was Chelsea who started this song;

Who’s that burning on the runway,

who’s that dying in the snow,

It’s Matt Busby and his boys their not making any noise…

And it’s all because the plane wouldn’t go.

And was it not Liverpool that started the chant;

*to the tune of bright side of life*…
Always look out for snow on the runaway da da da da

Your so obcessed with me, it's rather cringey.

Keep piping up over the internet though, it's funny.
