Flowers of Manchester

Never forgotten.

R.I.P to the 23 people who lost their lives 65 years ago today.

RIP never forgtten

RIP. Duncan, Tommy, David and the lads. One of the saddest days of the year.
I still remember them running out, Duncan used to bound out, energy crackling out of him.

I don't forget the reporters either, but of course I didn't know them, and they weren't my heroes.

Tbf Here are the ones I missed
Geoff Bent, Roger, Eddie, Mark, Liam.
It was difficult to imagine I wouldn't see them again. I was used to happy endings.

It's why I always say that Eric for example is one of us. He's French, lives in Paris. But he still loves us. And we him.

One cold and bitter Thursday in Munich, Germany,
Eight great football stalwarts conceded victory,
Eight men will never play again who met destruction there,
The flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester

This would be better under the poem

If anyone has time, this was a broadcast from 1988 for the 30th anniversary.
