6th February 1958. The Munich air disaster.
But something I never knew popped up the other day. On the previous Saturday Man Utd went to Highbury and won 5-4 in what was described as one of THE all time great league matches, played in front of over 63000. But two of Arsenal’s four goals that day were scored by Jimmy Bloomfield!
One fact is that Duncan Edwards almost undoubtedly would have been the England captain in 1966. Very sad all round. Apparently England had a very good chance of winning the WC in 58 but 4 of them died in Munich.
