if Duc had lived it would not have been Bobby Moore lifting the world cup what would this boy have become if he only had lived.

My father was a rugby fan, so I did not know anything about Man United until the Munich crash. I then became a true United fan, and feel lucky to have watched many matches in the Best/Law/Charlton era. I have been fascinated by Duncan's life, and visited Dudley last year, seeing the statue, the house where he grew up, the Leisure Centre and, of course his grave. I even had a swift half in the pub named for him. He was obviously a great player and a shining example for youngsters to follow. He grew up in the era of teddy boys and delinquency, but concentrated all his efforts on football. I wish I had seen him!

Duncan- just a sad and tragic loss. When i was a young lad aged 4 or 5 i recall my father telling me about the tragic Munich crash. It was etched in my memory and from that day Manchester United have been in my heart. I have spent hours and hours watching, following and reading about United and even though i never saw you play in real live, only on film, you are my greatest United hero. RIP Duncan.

Although i haven't see him playing, but through my dad i get to know "the tank" more and by this i used to think that he was the best player in the world whose know how to defend, attack and overall. He my heroes all the time and the greatest MU player ever produced. My tribute to him from the bottom from my heart.

Although I now live in Cheltenham, I was born in the Black Country and lived there for the first 21 years of my life. I have been a supporter of Manchester United for over 10 years. Duncan Edwards will always remain special to me. Not only did he play for the great team of Man Utd he was also from the Black Country like myself. It was a tragic loss to football the day "Big Dunc" passed away. Who knows what would have been achieved if Munich had never happened? Duncan Edwards was and still is a true great. In my opinion David Beckham is not fit to lick the Great Duncan Edwards boots. God bless Duncan Edwards, his fellow teammates that died at Munich, Sir Matt Busby and those survivors that have passed away since Munich. For Duncan and the other Man Utd players that died at Munich, the current and future players and supporters of Manchester United will always keep the "red flag flying high" Duncan Edwards will never be forgotten. Why did Munich happen?, I wish the question can be answered. God bless you "Big Dunc" you will never be forgotten

When 21 February comes around my four brothers and I will remember it as the day our dear mother passed away in 2000. We, all Man U fans in faraway Singapore will also remember that our hero Duncan Edwards lost the fight for his life on that day in 1958. Through following United (for me since 1960) we have come to read about the greatness of Duncan and in a way regret that we were born too late to see him play. Though I am in my mid fifties now I am still hopeful that I can make it to Dudley one day to pay our tribute to this fine footballer who is enshrined in our memory. Sadly his life was so fleeting that there is not enough literature about him. Yet we know he did not grow old to endure the declining years. Still there is a sense of sadness of a young hero who perished so young .... there was so much more he could have achieved, so much more glory.....It just wasn't to be and you wonder about the meaning of it all.

Duncan Edwards has always been my idol. Although I wasn't born until 1970 and only started supporting United in 1976, I was to learn all about what a superhero this legend was through my Father. I have been in awe of Duncan most of my life. You can forget your Peles, Eusabios, Maradonnas and whoever else you may add to that list. Duncan was the greatest and most complete footballer there ever was. My only regrete is, I never got the chance to see him and the other Busby Babes in the flesh. I also believe that Real Madrid would never have won their six in a row European Cups if the Babes didn't perish on that snowy runway. Duncan is really special for me though. At 33yrs old, I spent 12 of those as a Heroin addict. Thankfully I can now say that for the past 7yrs I have been clean of all drugs. But during my recovery, I read and studied most things about Duncan and his life and I truely believe that he gave me the inspiration to rise above my troubles and get on with my life. I am now a Software Developer/Computer Programmer and without Duncan's inspiration, I don't think I would have succeeded. I can't really put into words what I feel for this great man. I will love, admire and remember him for ever and ever. May he rest in peace in Heaven above.
