Quote from Sir Bobby Charlton...
Speaking from his Cheshire home today about the Munich Air Disaster, Sir
Bobby Charlton had these poignant words to say about it all, fifty years on:
"The saddest thing about it all was that we really did believe we were on
the verge of something massive back then, something bigger than anything we
had ever seen at Old Trafford before. In the lads who perished that day we
had the makings of a side that, we believed, would go on to conquer Europe.
In much the same way that Hitler had some years before, only not in quite so
nasty a way. But you know what I mean. All I recall is waiting for the plane
to take off, then waiting for it to come down again. I looked over at Dave
Pegg, one of the hardest men in the game back then, and let me tell you he
was shitting a stick when the plane took off. Meanwhile, across the aisle
from me sat our trainer Tom Curry and coach Herbert Whalley. Tom was
whistling away as though he were out for a stroll, saying everything would
be alright; but Herbert was trying to climb up the back of Matt Busby's coat
for protection. All I could do was pray that I'd survive the whole ordeal,
have my life spared so that one day I'd be able to go on and win 106 caps
for England, win the European Cup, score loads of goals like the one I got
against Portugal in the 1966 World Cup (rememer how I got the ball in my own
half, ran forward, beating three Portuguese defenders and rifled the ball
home blah blah blah...) and, of course, bore everyone senseless for the next
fifty years about how great that team might just one day might possibly have
eventually come to possibly be. But the real sad part about it all, looking
back now all these years later, is that with all the stress of the
aftermath, I went bald and had to play with that ludicrous comb-over thing
flailing above my bonce every time I legged it down the wing. But at least I
didn't go bald naturally, like that cunt our Jack."
