Fifty years on this is still a tragedy that evokes grief in the population wider than the gates of the club itself, it happened a year before my birth but was something we where made aware of as we grew up. I watched Bobby Charlton on the box last night recounting his memories of the players and the tragic events of that night in Munich. I have to admit that there where tears rolling down my face throughout the programme.

To those affected that survive today our feelings and sympathies are with you, for those that lost their lives at the time and in the months and years following the event you remain in our thoughts. God bless.
