I'm a Liverpool supporter since 1972 but my dad was a manc through & through......he always used to tell me the story,that when he was in the Army,he saw the last game the Busby Babes played in England prior to the Munich tragedy. It was a match at Highbury against a struggling Arsenal and the match ended,if my memory serves me right, in a 5:4 victory to Utd.My old man said it was a superlative performance by both Duncan Edwards & Tommy Taylor. On their fight back to the Rock of Gibraltar they where informed about the tragic accident.My dad was a very hard military man but my uncle said he cried like a baby throughout but when Duncan Edwards passed away a month later,it destroyed him. He always measured greatness if they where at Duncan Edward's level. His 3 all-time greats where Duncan Edwards,Georgie Best and Di'Stefano......a man of exquisite state. I miss you old man.

What’s the point if it has no function?

I think you could have accommodated Edwards and Moore in the same England team, but the player that would have had difficulty being selected would have been Charlton. Edwards was best in an attacking midfield role, and that was the role Charlton played in 1966. By 1970, Charlton was playing in a less advanced role, so Edwards could still have fitted into the 1970 side (he'd still only have been 32 in Mexico!) in a midfield position.

My old sports teacher was Gordon Pulley. In the old days they actually taught young lads to properly strike the ball. Anyway, Gordon could properly put his laces behind the ball and he was a Third Division professional. At Arsenal, they had Ronnie Rooke, and he had a hard shot on him. Story goes that at Highbury, Rooke shot toward the United goal, and Edwards not only stopped the cannonball shot with his head but apparently directed it out to the left back, killing the power of the shot and allowing the back to play the ball first time.

Two footed; world class as a back, half back and a forward. Strong but fair in the tackle, and perfect technique when striking the ball. He's easily in the all-time top 10 of British footballers. He really was that good. The top 10? Bloomer, James, Moore, Law, Best, Charlton, Edwards, Blanchflower, Charles, and Charlton. Unfortunately, no players in the Prem era are good enough. Bit of a shame that but there you go.

Wayne Rooney choosing Gerrard over Scholes was like Judas kiss. Some of the goals and assists he got to his name were when he was with Scholes for a brief period in England, not many when Gerrard was attempting pointless rocket launches, starving him of assists and of course, quite unlike countless times at United.

I'm A Burnley Fan And Who Ever Was The So Called Burnley Fan Mocking THE GREATEST PLAYER EVER THE WONDERFUL DUNCAN EDWARDS WANTS BANNING FROM FOOTBALL FOR LIFE IM SO ANGRY MAY BIG DUNCAN REST IN PEACE ALWAYS FORGET PELE MARADONA MESSIE AND THE REST I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO BE ABLE TO GO BACK IN TIME AND SAVE DUNCAN AND THE REST OF THESE GRAND PLAYERS MAY THEY AND ALL WHO DIED IN THIS TRAGEDY INCLUDING BIG FRANK SWIFT REST IN PEACE ALWAYS

Saw him play as a lad for England schoolboys and again on his full England debut against Scotland.lplus a couple for Man united. Always strong,but, fair play. Opposite goal always a target,no messing about,not afraid to take opposition on. Duncan was admired by fans everywhere. Probably, in my opinion the most I have ever known. Duncan was exactly 6 months older than me.Him October 1st me April I st. Was due to play against him 1951 in school cup match at Dudley ,my school was from Wednesbury. As we gathered at ground to play. I was told Edwards ay playing today mate, good job for yow ( you ) cuz yow would think yow wuz playing against a Mon (man ). Never ever will I forget that daw , incidentally we lost 0 5 .To me Duncan's firm,forward style of play is still with me. I think today's game I think,stop messing about and get going forward. Sometimes the goalkeeper sees more balls from his own players,than the opposition. .

Make a visit to Dudley and view his statue by the market place . Saw him play as a 15 year old and his debut for England. Will always remember him. A local Black county lad like myself he was respected by all fans,whoever you supported.Yes,often when visiting Dudley stand looking at Duncans statue and remembering.

Love this comp Martin

To think he almost lived, if only his kidneys weren’t weak, and if only they stayed after the second attempt

Some player for sure. Pride of the Black Country! ✊️

My Dad talked about George Best and my grandad talked about Duncan Edwards. Because so little of their game time was captured on camera they’re both mythical creatures of United. Best obviously has more tape but still it only represents a fraction of what he accomplished on the pitch. I’m reading a book about big Duncan at the minute and I’m amazed at how little I actually knew about someone that I’d heard so much about.

If there's one positive to have after his untimely death, it's that he's still remembered to this very day. There's a very small handful of players from that era who get talked about today, and Edwards is still one of them.

The images of the game against Real Madrid are unique. Between 0:52” and 0:59” you can see Di Stefano pissed off with Edwards. Even the great star of that era gives a kick with his foot to the youngster

The best team ever 😢

Hahaha overrated! In these clips he misplaces every pass he makes, wow, what a load of bullshit. He was nothing but a bully in defence by the looks of things.

With Duncan Edwards the real tragedy is what could have been for both Man U and England. Nearest we have had so far is probably Steven Gerrard although not sure he was as good at winning back the ball as Big Dunc from this footage. The other one is Jude Bellingham right now for those wishing to explain to their children/grandchildren.

According to my dad if Duncan Edwards would have lived Bobby Moore would never had played for England.

IAM related to him

Surely you are so upset about your name. Yuk

Great vid thanks for compiling this, can appreciate Duncan Edwards reading of the game, timing, strength and distribution. In defense he generally stays on his feet and blocks and doesnt go in for slides or recovery tackles...all due to his excellent reading of the game ability. Its interesting watching some of his advancing forward play from defence...its not dissimilar really to Dutch defending in total football era of 74-78. He looked like a modern footballer ahead of the times

Looks composed, confident, strong, skilful and appears to read the game way beyond his years. In those days teenagers rarely got first team football, he made his first division debut aged 16! I can't think of any 17/18 year olds these days that would slot into top flight and international football in that position and look so comfortable.

apparently duncan edwards was the mbappe of his time! Exceptional talent

Rubbish player

Thanks for posting this, Duncan Edwards was an absolute colossus. Loved this.

If only.., rip duncan.

R.I.P boys💜💜

Thanks for this video.

It’s said, Edwards was the complete footballer. He could dribble, tackle, shoot on either foot, header, score and play in any position. I think from the footage, we can see, why he was so special.

My grandad watched the busby babes live, He told me about the beautiful football they played. If the disaster didn't happen United could have easily won 3 or 4 European cups in that era.GGMU

This is gold! Cheers, mate. What a legend!

Wayyy too young to have ever seen him But with the praise given to him by the few lucky ones to see him I can only imagine how good he was If only that plane didn't crash

🔥🔥🔥 #paulscholes

The main thing I took away from these clips is what a physical presence he was. Always winning the ball back and stronger than everyone else on the pitch.

so much talent ♥️♥️

Best in the history of Manchester United football club. We should all pay respect for the young 21 year old.😞😖

Dunc greatest to walk the earth

Nothing short of brilliant. Cheers for posting, Martin. Big Dunc was taken too early from us. What could've been! 🌹🇾🇪
