#OTD in 1958, football lost Duncan Edwards. A cherished friend of @SirBobby, Duncan’s impact was as extraordinary as his promise. Sir Bobby once said of him, “More than a great player, sometimes he seemed like some bright light in the sky”. #BusbyBabes #FlowersOfManchester

We remember the great Jimmy Greaves on what would have been his 86th birthday. Described by @SirBobby as “one of the best players of his or any other generation of English football”, Jimmy was a remarkable talent, a natural goal-scorer and an unforgettable icon of the game.

Today, we celebrate a @ManUtd great and one of @SirBobby’s closest friends. Paddy once called Bobby a “genius”, saying, “Everybody wanted to shake his hand, say hello or do something. But he was such a nice man you can’t believe how nice he was”.

Following a meeting between Foundation trustees and our marketing and PR teams at the National Football Museum, we visited the Munich Air Disaster display This permanent exhibition is moving tribute to those who lost their lives on that fateful day in 1958 #FlowersOfManchester
