Sir Bobby Charlton has sent a touching letter to Manchester United's players asking them not to forget those who died in the Munich air disaster as the club prepares to mark the tragedy's 60th anniversary.
Sir Bobby lost eight teammates when the Busby Babes' plane crashed on the icy runway of Munich-Riem Airport on February 6 1958.
Geoff Bent, 25; Roger Byrne, 28; Eddie Colman, 21; Duncan Edwards, 21; Mark Jones, 24; David Pegg, 22; Tommy Taylor 26; and Billy Whelan, 22, were all killed as Sir Matt Busby's squad was returning from a European Cup match against Red Star Belgrade.
