I'm only 26 but have always been fascinated about the legend of Duncan. I know a lifelong Wolves fan, who told me he hated him because He didn't play for his 'local' team. "He was brilliant" he said. Another story is when Bryan Robson asked Ron Atkinson how good Duncan was. We know how highly Ron rated Robbo, but his reply was curt "Twice as good as you'll ever be, son!" I recommend you buy 'Duncan Edwards:The Full Report" by Iain McCartney. Rest in Peace Big Man! |

| I am 27 years old, some of you may think, why is someone my age such a huge fan of Duncan??? Well, this is thanks to my dad, a season ticket holder for the past 40 years at OT. He did get to watch Duncan play and has constantly drummed it into me what a great player he was therefore turning me into just as much of a fan as he is. I wore my 57 replica cup final at the nou camp in 99 with Edwards 6 on the back, and at half time as I walked past an older gentlemen he said to me we could do with his help tonight, and on the anniversary of Sir Matts 90th birthday, you can't help thinking that Duncan and the rest of the Busby Babes were there that night. Id love to hear from anyone that did see Duncan play. | |

| I offer this tribute to Duncan Edwards on behalf of my late father, John. He was an avid Spurs supporter but on that terrible day when the plane went down, he cried openly. His heart broke for the team and especially for the young man who was destined to become one of the world's greatest footballers. For him, I offer this tribute. | |

| I have supported Man Utd since 1977 but with the stories from my Mothers two Uncles and my non-stop gathering of books,videos etc to do with the Busby Babes(now have over 50 Videos & 40 books on Man U - Mainly Busby Babes),i will never tire of my infatuation on Duncan Edwards,Visited his grave and Leisure Centre in 1986 and look forward to going again.Surely there must be more archive film footage lying around gathering dust that should be shown to future generations? | |

I was also born in the 'black country'like big Dunc & now live in Australia.I was too young to see the great man play.Too young to take in England's & world football's great loss in 1958. When i first read of Duncan's enormous talent i thought that maybe people were just eulogizing a good player into a great player because of his death at such a young & promising age.Surely no one could be that good!So i asked my father if he had seen this man play.Instantly my father,normally a man of few words,repeated superlatives about seeing Duncan play.Recalling how awesome Duncan had been in everything from Youth team matches to internationals.I also asked my uncles,fathers of my best mates,casual aquaintances,anyone who had been to a football match in the 50's.....of course EVERYONE had seen his greatness.Not once did i hear anyone decry Duncan's inmeasurable skills.I knew then that Duncan Edwards was a true legend. The tributes seem to grow with every book or article written about the great man.I am so proud that he was English.So sad that his talents were taken away from us all.Gone too soon.Yet he proved so much in so little time. On my last two visits to England i have found time to visit Duncan's grave.You do not have to be a United fan to feel the emotion of the moment.The lump that comes to your throat,the tears that well up in your eyes.You just understand how great this man was.The stories were true.What could United & England have achieved if only Duncan in his prime had lived a few more years? Duncan Edwards will always be a legend.His footballing talents were heaven sent.His true greatness proven when God decided to take him away from us before his time. I have no doubts that Duncan now captains the home side in heavens game. Lest we forget |
