| I was given my name because my Father said that Duncan Edwards was quite simply the greatest. I feel proud to have the name of such a man. | |

| People talk about legends in football far to easily but in reality there are only a few, Duncan Edwards would be at the top of the list. Nobody before or nobody since has so many football fans talking about them apart from big Dunc. He will live forever in the eyes of United fans and will never be forgotten. Black & white footage of him playing is incredible, nobody got near him and he made the game look easy, only a great player can do this. | |

I am Scottish and was only 4 at the Munich crash. He must havfe been sensational. What really stagers me is that he would only have been 29 when England played in the WC Final 1966. I wonder how he would have coped with the 60s generation? |

As a young lad, of 13/14 years of age, I was compared to Duncan by older people, and some coaches, due to my playing style and 'zest' for the game, training til it went dark, 7 days a week, always with a ball. I was a fairly big, solid, lad, and could ride a tackle, pass well, beat people, score goals, and hit shots from 40-50 yards. I played at either left centre-half, or midfield, but if we needed a goal, I could go upfront too. (On more than once I did this and scored. A hat-trick once, turning a deficit into a 4-3 win) I was also picked for my town representative team. Anyway, word started getting about and I know that I had several clubs watching, of which Ipswich, who watched several times (before I joined Wigan) and Blackburn were two. (Both top flight at the time) I was told Arsenal as well, but can't verify that. This was in the early 1990's. By the age of 15 I was on Wigan's books as a youth player. At 16/17 I was approached by a Carlisle scout for a pro-trial. However, 2 weeks before the trial, I got injured, wrecking my ankle ligaments and achilles. I was out for a year, put some weight on, and wasn't the same. I was advised to, and tried a comeback in non league circles, but eventually I 'retired' at age 19. I'm 32 now and haven't even kicked a ball for 7/8 years. Even though I never made it, I always played with Duncan in mind, having had the comparison made. A GREAT compliment. I read about him and became almost 'obsessed'. A bit of an un-fair comparison, as I think Duncan was THE best. Incomparable, actually. Thanks. RIP Big Dunc. |

I am a Scot, I only remember Duncan Edwards from a boyhood. I was nine when he met his death in the Munich tragedy. He had though become something of a cult hero to me, definitely one of Britain's best. Is there a fan club? |
