The years pass, but we still remember. We always will. Those young lads, great football players, all their lives ahead of them. They were ahead of their time, yet sadly air travel was in its infancy. Lessons of safety and dangers, still had to be learned....
In an instant, the dream was destroyed. 23 people dead. The worst tragedy to ever hit English football, as it also robbed the national team of 6 or 7 regulars and future members.
They were a truly magnificent side who played flowing, entertaining football. If there is another life, theyll be playing on still, I'm sure.
God bless the 'Babes', the journalists, and all others who lost their lives that terrible day in 1958. Never forgotten, never will be.

We heard the dreadful news on the radio and it was the only time I ever saw my dad cry. He was a Manchester born and bred working class man and they just didn’t cry !
It was heartbreaking losing so many young lives.. so much talent lost. I have always followed United and feel quite proud of the way the club remembers with love and gratitude the boys who didn’t come home . United is a family of supporters the world over.

I was at primary school when the Munich disaster occurred. I remember the moment we learnt the news at a friends house. The shock drained the blood from our faces and I will never forget that time or the wonderful players we lost. Thank you Sir Matt, Jimmy and the boys for laying the magical foundation of the great club Manchester United has become. We will never forget you nor will those who take our place.
May we remember all who died at Munich on 1958 my great-grandfather Tom Jackson the sports journalist for the Manchester evening news was among them. We will never die! The flowers of English football the flowers of Manchester.
True heroes of Manchester United and football. Gone, but never forgotten.

The Munich disaster has been the foundation of our club, from the ashes of that air crash came the greatest football club ever built.
So many people from all over the globe now follow the Reds, I'm a Northern Irish man myself, and from I was 10 years old I have made the trek to the Theatre of dreams many times, some times the team have struggled to meet the expectations of the fans, one thing always hit me in the heart ! when you take that look around the packed stands and see our fan base is now more Global than any all clubs in the world, its all because of Munich 58 !! God rest their souls and God bless UNITED !! We'll never die !

R.I.P to the Man Utd legends that died they are the reason why Manchester United is a massive club with good and loyal fans like ourselves I thank all the players who died sadly they have made history with my favourite club Man Utd rest in heaven.❤️❤️❤️
The busby babes are icons of the English game that we all know and love. What they did in their short lives impacted so many people not just football but they were looked up as celebrity’s and ahead of their time. The team Man United had would of won a lot more throphies and would of gone to dominate the world for years but sadly it was taken away so quickly. Even today in 2018, they still have a massive impact on how Us the Man United supports think and act when it comes to our own expectations of the club. I’m so proud of what they did in their short period of their lives but feel like if this tragedy never happened the world we live in today would be very different. I visited the memorial the second time this summer as I feel it’s important to never forget the fundamental part of Man United history. It’s such a difficult time come February but if we all come together as fans then we can remember them in the correct way they should be remembered for. Man United will never die. #NeverForget By Alex Age 19
The reason why I love this club and why so many others do too. Their legacy will forever be engrained into our club. They are gone, but will never, ever be forgotten. Thank you so much, The Busby Babes.
The horrors of 1958 will forever be etched into our legacy. The resilience to rise again from the darkened floor. I for one shall never forget.
I wasn't born when the disaster happened but all I know that I love this club and always will. such an amazing squad back then and who knows what players they would off become in time. But I have learned so much about Manchester united through the years and we will never forget our stars rip you will never be forgotten
