- Feb 6th 1958. Manchester United and English football lost it's brightest lights.
I'm privileged to be joined by my Grandfather, who was working in Old Trafford at the time, to give his memories from that time. His thoughts on the great players we had lost, including Duncan Edwards and what the legacy of the disaster is to this day.

As a fan from the US (been made fun of for calling it football rather than soccer my whole life) this video is one of the very reasons why I love this sport. The tear in his eye and emotion in his voice is very powerful. Thank you Stephen and especially big thanks to your Grandfather what you and your mates do for us fans is exactly what's good about this digital and social media age we live in all positivity and banter and now education on the history of this game we love. Cheers lads thanks from across the pond and GGMU
We will never forget them...
Great stuff!! I'm old enough to have been privileged to have seen the Babes play and I was at Highbury for their last game in the UK before Munich. 5-4 What a match.
My old man was Ken Jones who wrote The Manchester United Calypso.
That's incredible Terry! Both instances. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Stephen Howson FC my grandad was in back of a troop truck on way back from a recy in Cyprus heard it on radio Lancashire fusiliers all the lads was devastated for tha rest of the day 👎
My father was in Britain when the tragedy happened, it was one of the first things he told me about when I was a child growing up. He wasnt a United fan but everybody in Britain at the time was emotionally impacted by this horrible accident. The Flowers of Manchester, may they all rest in peace. Cheers to your Grandfather Stephen, wishing him more time on earth.
Truely special that. Thank your grandad.
One of the saddest football tragedies ever.
Me Grandad just had a stroke, lost his ability to speak. Teared up thinking about the stories lost. wish I would have recorded some. Thank you for this.
Well... that absolutely wrote me off in floods of tears. Could not imagine how shocking and tragic it truly was to be a mancunian at that time. A brilliant piece, thanks to your grandad for telling the story.
Bill Baggio#10 It wasn't much better for the townspeople of Dudley Bill. The home home town of (to quote Bobby Charlton) "The greatest of them all Big Duncan Edwards"
So beautiful to know that sport can bring so much love. Bless 🎉 footballers and all sports people
Fantastic documentary. Good stuff Stephen.
documentary? you sure ?
What a person to have when wanting to know the history of Manchester United what a grandad you have a Howson top guy 👍
I choked watching this. It's heartbreaking what happened to the Babes. A big loss for everyone. English football truly lost it's brightest lights. I cannot even imagine what your Grand dad must have gone through and all the people in Manchester when it happened. It's hard to comprehend. It was a privilege listening to your Grand Dad. Thanks for this masterpiece Howson.
Brilliant Howson. Eyes filled up watching it. GBNF Busby Babes, We'll never die!
We'll never die, we'll never die, we'll never die, we'll never die, we'll keep the red flags flying high, because Man United will never die... Rip to all the lives lost in the disaster... Busby Babes ♥
This is brilliant
Thank you sir,s fitting tribute.
This is special man. Respect to you and your grand dad for doing this.
2 am in the US, saw this before going to bed. so so sad, much love.
I have watched this before and will again, that emotion poring out of your grandad is palpable. This club is resilient, it will always face adversity and stand again. I love this club, we should acknowledge the loss in grander fashion each year and rebuild our club with youth in the same manner. We used to be bold and brave, we need to get that back.
what an absolute fantastic video mate, that's how tributes should be. thank your granddad for all his insight from all of us, really displays to people like me, the younger generation of fan, how important these events are to our club. Be proud of yourself mate done all us reds proud
Had to get it right, with this subject. Think I did.
Gone but never forgotten!!

Lest we forget...... proper emotional, brilliant stuff... I'd do your Grandad's head in asking about the Reds.. Respect pal.

Great video about such a sad time in United's history...I really don't understand why people have disliked it.
I have tears in my eyes every year when we all remember this day. Listening to your grandad and my heart is breaking all over again. Sixty years since this Londoner fell in love with United. Thank you Stephen for a wonderful video and please pass on my respect and admiration to your grandad.
