The legacy left behind from not only that particular incident, but that period of 10-15 years is something that cannot ever be underestimated. From having half your team wiped out in a tragic accident, to winning the European Cup 4-1 in the final, all in the space of 10 years is truly amazing, it shows the determination of the club to bounce back from such a horrific event. I can't say I've seen a great deal of Duncan Edwards, a few videos here and there, but if he was even half as good as some of the club legends say he was, then what a player he was! Same goes for Tommy Taylor - that goal record speaks for itself, a traditional centre forward who scored goals for fun - just to name a few players. But it wasn't just the United players that lost their lives... there were staff, the plane crew and journalists whose lives were taken in one of the most tragic ways imaginable. I remember seeing the images of it years back and, while obviously sad at seeing the aftermath of what had happened, I didn't know a great deal about the time and just how special the team was. This wasn't your run of the mill First Division team, this was a squad who could go on and become the greatest ever side in football history. Over the last few years I've learned even more about the incident and the team thanks to The United Stand. I'd like to think that, if the worst was to happen and a rival club had to go through something as horrific as that, we, as fans, and the club, would have the respect and humanity to put any rivalry behind us and wish them all the best in going forward, and helping whenever possible. However, with some of the stuff seen on social media, it doesn't seem as easy as that. Back in the day, while the teams were rivals, there was respect, as you said Mark, Real Madrid offered one of the greatest forwards in history, Alfredo di Stefano to United for a little while, as well as Livepool offering some players too - it's that kind of respect and humanity that football is all about, working class people coming together to watch the club they love. Great video from you Mark, doesn't matter if you've recently just heard about this incident and don't really know anything, or you're someone who was alive to hear about it at the time, it's a brilliant educational video on everything to do with the Busby Babes, a real must watch for any football fan, not just United.

To the deranged people disliking this, please don't. At least have the sense to realize that this is a tribute to people who died. Show some respect & think first!

Chas Sinclair maybe deranged is a strong word but Morals and simply being respectful is universally known. There's no need to dislike a video which is a tribute to people who aren't here to defend themselves.

I was 41/2 and the grief was palpable in my family and community I dont have great memories from that age but as a child you could feel and almost touch the grief . My family completed my history of the Busby Babes as i grew up and instilled the Manchester United ethos We Never Die Great show Mark

Simply an immense tragedy not only to the club but the families of those directly involved as well. Hard to wrap around how good the Busby Babes were and could have been. Can only imagine the honors they could have won for club and country. We can and will never forget such a massive part of our history. The fan base we have is not simply because of all the success and titles , there are other clubs in world football who have won many titles ; but our history , what we have overcome , how we did things, the values and what our club represents sets us apart.

What I really like about this channel is this real human factor. You respect others opinions, listen to them, are yourself very human-like and show your affection not only for the club and this work, but also every fool can witness that you are a human body with feelings and emotions which can be either heated (like after a lost or bad game) or right now very emotional after a tragic lost. I've seen other channels constantly making fun of others, laughing at their opinions like they themselves are Gods and having very insufficient footballing knowledge. They all got unsubscribed cause I don't tolerate disrespect but happily follow this channel. Great work!

Atleast Bobby charlton is still alive 🙏

what a wonderful way to educate supporters who haven't had the opportunity to know the struggles the club and senior supporters endured during their day #GGMU

Mark next time talk about Jimmy Murphy as well. Without that man manchester united would have died. He fought for us till sir matt busby came back.

Whoever disliked the video, have no respect to the busby babes! Rip!

My dad has alway's said that if he had a time machine he would go back to the 50's just to see edwards kick a ball

love from india....am a die hard United fan and TUS fan....absolute love and respect for the united stand..you are the beat...love these videos..specially i wish i had seen duncan edwards play...i am 22 now..and wish i had been born a bit earlier ....atleast videos of that legend playing football..what a player all of the babes were and specially duncan edwards....🙏🙏

This is the type of thing we talk about when we say that players must learn the history of the club. It was a tragedy and weirdly still an element of our club that makes it the best in the world. GGMU.

Is your grandfather still alive? This gave me a new angle on the tragedy. Before, I knew only of the tragedy, not the Manchester United side of things. I want to thank you, Mark, for making the only Manchester United-based content that is non biased, and a fan opinion. I’ve been here almost a year (may 31st, I think) and I’ve loved every video you’ve put out. If you read this, hello from Minnesota, America and keep doing what you do best!

check out The complete history of Manchester United.its on youtube think its in two parts its very good,great video again from the utd stand well done guys,hello from ireland

Interesting and superb tribute. Being only 31 years old, it's great to hear stories about the Busby Babes. My generation will never realise just how good they were.

Lovely tribute video, Mark. Heard it all before, read all about it before, watched hours of footage about it before, but it's a story always worth recollecting and re-telling. Brought me to tears all over again. RIP Busby Babes and everyone else who went with them.

By the way, as I posted on FB at the weekend, hats off to Huddersfield supporters for their respect at the weekend. Hats off to you all. Respect. Thank you.

Great job!! After seeing your video,spent lot of time reading about Busby babes and the players who were part of it . Really surprised by how much Busby babes achieved at such a young age. Really sad for them! At least we paid a tribute by winning on Saturday

Kaushik - This season, Man United have yet to put in ONE meaningful performance. They've had some acceptable results but on balance, are still a dreadful team.

Sir Matt brush assistant manager is the reason why Manchester United are still here.

TheUnitedStand is growing, and I don't mean just subscribers.

The stories people have about this incredible group of footballers and wonderful young men! What a selection of professional, classy but fun-willed winners, cruelly taken for us in tragedy. We will never forget.

I have supported United for 53 years love the show God bless you mark

Great video mark, truly appreciate it

R.i.p the busby babes an great video as well mark

I always get a heavy heart when speaking about the tragedy, Manchester United is the best football club in the world, really good video Mark.

This is my favorite video on the United stand

Guys watch 1957 fa cup final against Aston Villa and Duncan Edward was amazing

Fantastic Mark thank you so much. My Dad allways told me about Tommy Taylor, and Duncan Edwards, the two ace`s, how great the Busby Babes were R.I.P, and I`ve been a fan since 1968 Final United Forever.

Great video Mark and thanks for keeping the flames of those lost burning brightly. Great job!

They woulda won tha lot, Duncan Edwards was tha greatest but my grandad loved tommy Taylor who sadly was lost and Harry gregg who survived.. tha stories growing up for me that my grandad and old man told is what Manchester United is about. #wellneverdie

Busby Babes, Gone but not forgotten ❤️

Great video mark... jimmy murphy as well taking control through tha real hard times, this is Manchester United.. has to keep being told generation to generation.

Thanks Mark

The reason I started supporting Manchester United...Greatest story ever told!! Forever in our hearts..!!

Never forgotten. Great vid United Stand

Watch the movie about it, it's amazing

Cracking video mate. They're gone, but will never be forgotten!

The state of Manchester United right now when you have Fellaini in the team and think back to the 58 side. What every supporter know is that all the United sides had great passing. It make me really sad to see our club keep the Moyes level player. For me United will always be the team that can pass as well as Barcelona and cross the ball as Beckham did and counter attack as Ronaldo.

You need to have a Skype show tomorrow so everyone can call in and talk about this. The event, the Busby babes, the entire thing

Wonderful and touching reflection of United’s darkest time and their resurrection. Respect to you and your Grandad for building that love & history of Manchester United that you have passionately spoke about today ❤️🙏 RIP Busby Babes 😥❤️ thanks Mark ❤️❤️🙏 TUS X

Brilliant tribute Mark!

Brilliant insight.

As a Manchester United Fan born raised and living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 a beautiful thing is born out of such a tragic moment.. thank you for shearing informing the backbone of the history of our club such a great job Team at the United Stand thank you 🙏

so bueatifully told thnx mark

I knew before watching this video about the tragedy but not so much on how great the team was. So thank you to Mark and @TheUnitedStand. Manchester United is really the greatest story ever told

Love this video and not a bad idea to have a video every now and then about our history. Keep it up mark, cheers. GGMU

Great work again mark...

Thank you Mark for telling this amazing story! RIP to the Busby Babes.

A lovely tribute, before my time- but indeed a deep part of being a Manchester United fan🔴🙏🏻

Amazing tribute.

1) Unashamed to want to be number one at what they do;2) Cavalier attitude (offence is best form of defence);3) Has an air of romance around it;4) Faith & Trust in youth;5) Community orientated;6) Crimson coloured jersey;7) Historical pedigree;8) Era-defining individualsOff the top of my head, these are some of the reasons why I have supported Utd my entire-life. I'm not one of those fanatical fans who travels a million miles a season to watch them live, but just a "regular" fan I suppose who visits Old Trafford from time to time. And, coz I am not a "fanatic" that is why I feel I can say without outside judgement forthcoming, that when I say Utd is more than just a club I feel I mean it. If you had to ask why? Just take a glance at my above list for starters. The only British club that transcends every continent & language as a result.

Great work Mark! I like all United stand regular content but videos like this take the community to the next level. It's great that we have someone as enthusiastic as you educating the next generation on this tragedy because watching United and being a fan is far better when you know the full story behind the club. Keep up the good work mate!!

Brilliant tribute to the Busby babes mark never forget a great team like that

brilliant Mark - thanks a lot

This should be mandatory education before playing for the first team (I hope it is already), maybe then the players would show far more heart & passion in honour of those who paved the way & never got the chance to.

Busby babes will all ways live on

Thank you, Mark, for sharing this wonderful, bittersweet tribute to the greatest, eternal Babes of Manchester. Absolutely well done. Your grandfather would be so proud.

Thanks Mark for an enlightening video.

Those who have unbelievably disliked this video, hang your head in shame!!

Not only were these players the back bone of Manchester United they also made up a large part of the England team that could have won the 1958 world cup. They deserved great respect why did Paul Pogba fail to take his hands out of his pockets that kind of attitude is why he will never be world class

I have no clue who these idiots are who disliked this post. Respect, please. A lack of reflects poorly on you and even worse on your parents. Maximum respect to those who tragically were cut short. I’ve seen the documentaries and Sir Bobby Charlton’s commentary... “why did I survive and others didn’t?”’Heart wrenching. Regardless of where and for who a tragedy happens in our game, players, fans et al, at Man Utd we show respect. A great club is defined by our behaviour. the club, players, fans. True fans. GGMU

We one the champions in the 5oth aniversery lets see can we do it this year

Mark nice video mate 😢😭😔😌

Why I support Manchester United it gives you dreams of becoming anything you want I will never forget them ❤️

No doubt about it they were the best.Sir Matt Jimmy Murphy and the backroom staff made the name we are today. Thanks to Sir Alex the legacy goes on.Dave .

Well said Mark. United we stand, live & bereaved. Busby Babes’s rest in peace.

Whoever disliked this hang your heads in shame, these were going to be the best players in footballing history but tradgey struck and it wasn't to be, there the reason I support united, the history and the class of them was amazing and Duncan Edwards in particular my home town hero, forever legends and they will never be forgotten ❤️

Their legacy will live on forever

Mark I hope you read this, kindly give us more details on the crush, what caused it and what happened after? how did we rebuild

Busby babes, are the heart and soul of Manchester United.

Fate isn't a game.

UNITED WE WIN ! UNITED WE LOSE ! UNITED WE FALL ! UNITED WE STAND 😈😈😈

Who else thinks it's a great idea to include a "history" educational show once a week where Mark or someone talks about an episode in United's rich history like events, players, managers, fans etc. that would really make this channel stand out even more. Thank you

A strong side with a terrible end. RIP.

Had Busby Babes lived on... Real Madrid 12 UCL Man United 10UCL

Why didn't we do more for the Brazil league team that died in a plane crash last year. We should know more than anyone how it feels

We should always thrive to be a greater team than Real Madrid...... Let's get back to the world throne... Let's do it for the busby babes.

"When I used to hear Muhammed Ali proclaim to the world he was the greatest I used to smile. You see, the greatest of them all was an English footballer named Duncan Edwards.” - Jimmy Murphy

How can you even have a figure of fellaini next to duncan edwards, why would you even have of figure of fellaini who's probably been one of the worst buys ever. please remove it mark i'm sure you have a bin close to you.
