Excellent video mate, proper emotional seeing your grandad tell the story to the wee lad. Reminds me of my dad telling me the importance of the busby babes. I remember my first visit to the museum back in the 96/97 season and just being even more emotionally attached to the club after that.

Wonderful video mate.

From all your fellow fans and mates from Down Under…we here in Australia will never forget..

You can see how much it means to your grandad. Fair play and well made Howson

Lump in my throat and a tear in my eye What a beautiful video 💐

I am sixty years old, sat here welling up.

Leeds fan. RIP the busby babes. Never forgotten!! Rivalry aside such a sad day for english football!!

You're right, this is pretty much impossible to beat as a tribute, rest easy lads

Beautiful. Thank you Howson, from all the worldwide fans who've grown up passionately following United. We are United. Especially today.

Chilling, but inspiring tribute .

Thank you very much for making this video, as a overseas fan in bermuda I've always known how much the Munich crash affected the club and the United culture but never understood how it felt. I feel privilege to have seen this short history from your grandfather to your son helped me feel a new sense of pride on this day. GGMU✊🏾❤❤❤

Workington vs Man utd 1958 one of the lucky towns to play the babes on borough park 4th january 1958

I love this club so much,i wouldn't change it for anything RIP Busby babes

It’s a club with great history great story that’s why I love mufc...

the goosebumps I got watching this video I love it thank you Matt Busby and The Busby Babes RIP thank you for what you did for this club never forgotten.

Baffles me how this video doesn't have many more views. Every. single. United supporter needs to watch this. The Munich Air Disaster is embedded deeply in our history and we all need to know the struggles and the perseverance our club went through to get to where we are today. Lets share this!

I knew making it that 10-15 would be all it did. So I'm delighted it did more than that. Sadly the title isn't 'sexy' enough for some. I'm just glad I got to make it. Even if it was just for my family I'd be happy with it.

The flowers of Manchester - never forgotten! Been a strange day overall. Sleep well lads.

Brilliant video, shows to newer generation how important the Busby Babes were. Brings a tear to my eye, thank you.

Great history, great legacy, this is United the best club in the world.

Every year I watch this video and every year it has the same affect . Gone but not forgotten ❤️

Absolutely class and fantastic video Howson. Rip Busby babes.. 😔

THE FLOWERS OF MANCHESTER live on in my heart and dreams. I am lucky enough to say i saw the BABES play.Dave an old STRETFORD ENDER.

This is a day that always makes me tear. I never witnessed them play but how attached I am to the club. This has been my world ever since I was brought to this world. We may not win titles right now but I will sure as hell always stick to this club cause it made me love this beautiful game. #GGMU

Never forgotten... RIP you Busby Babes!

So simple and to the point that's exactly why United is loved the world over. The glory and silverware are a bonus.Its how they acted in extreme adversity that still captures the imagination till today

Grandad telling his grandson simply magic!!!

This is how you keep the memory alive. I really enjoyed how Great-Grandad and Great-Grandson went through the Hall of Fame and explained what happened from his experience. Then tells him to let his friends and eventually his family the memory. I was ok up until the grandson placed perfectly the scarf on the ground leading in to the entrance I lost it. We'll Never Die We Will Keep The Red Flag Flying High, goes right to the heart and feel the pain. I do hope there are other experiences shared like this one? Thank you and God Bless for doing this. For many, like me who live in the US are unable to get to Manchester United to see this or take part in the memorial. Never Forgotten RIP Busby Babes.

Beautiful tribute. RIP to all the victims of the Munich Disaster

What a truly truly beautiful little mini documentary. Such a touching personal reflection from your grandfather. The Flowers Of Manchester will never be forgotten. Forever immortalised by the club we hold so dear.❤. Forever United. ❤

Thank you Howson. United will never die.

Watched it 3 times now. Can't get over how passionate your grandad is about United. The way he describes matches and tournaments is so clear, almost as though he's just watched them last week! Amazing video once again

Very stylish execution. Thank you for passing the torch forward and spreading the knowledge.

Great man u are ste and ur grandad and son u do them proud mate #united4eva

'It's got to go on now, through you, your friends, your family, make sure your generation knows who all these lads are, and you do, we'll never die'

Simply Amazing Howson. Made me open my eyes to just how amazing of a club we are. WE'LL NEVER DIE! MUFC

How does someone even dislike this video? What was wrong with it? A historic and emotional narration. Sorry Mr. Howson, your video was touching and as a Man U fan, I appreciate it. On behalf of all Man U fans, thank you.

May God bless all their souls

Hey Steve. Nice to see your Grandad on another great vid. I really like your Grandad. He's a top bloke.

Forgot how good this video was, very moving.

It touches my heart, I wouldn't have been affected at all if it wasn't for being related to Johnny Berry. A man with such desire to play for United couldn't fulfil his dreams to win the Treble. I wish I was alive to meet Johnny but unfortunately he passed away in 94'. May all the victims rest in heaven. God bless

Beautifully done Ste. Big respect to your grandad and son for theirs and yours heartfelt respect

Wonderful tribute Stephen, it's great to show the affect football has on the generations of a single family like yours. Long may it continue and long live the memory of The Busby Babes.

Incredible Mate Special club special people United will never die💗

Anything to do with Munich always makes me tear up...... looking back I think it broke my Dad a little. He had played with some of those in the Munich disaster in the junior teams, Colts and A team, in the early 50's. He was reluctant to talk about it and when he did, he wouldn't say much, which is why I think it broke him.

The end got me

Superb stuff mate, from start to finish, superb stuff!

Yet again you’ve done the babes credit like last year with this . Love listening to your grandad 🇾🇪

Howson I'm a fan of all your content but your work on Munich both last year and this is by far your best. The Munich Air Disaster made United the club it is today. Jimmy Murphy's sheer determination to carry on coupled with Sir Matt Busby's unbeatable will to live, drove the team to knew heights, and laid the foundations for players and staff for years to come. We'll never forget The Busby Babes and the others that died that day. RIP the flowers of Manchester.

Only one word - RESPECT. #TheFlowersOfManchester

Love hearing stories about the history of our club ❤️, especially by people who where from the time, I was so moved and shed a tear towards the end.. truly amazing we’ll never die 🇾🇪👏🏽

Goosebumps throughout the video man, for eight continuous minutes. #flowersofmanchester

Powerful... hopefully the boys can do the babes proud in europe this year 60 years on like we did in 2008 50 years on. We'll never die!

Reduced me to a bubbling mess after that howson 🤦🏼‍♂️ beautiful ❤️🖤❤️

Beautiful video! Thanks so much to all the Howsons for your hardwork! Proper masterpiece! I can't stop watching this over and over!

If something could bring tears to my eyes, it's manchester united and videos like these :-( Class work, Mr. Stephen Howson.

THIS VIDEO MUST BE SHOWN TO EVERY UNITED FAN . BECAUSE WITHOUT OUR HISTORY. WE WOULD BE NOTHING. MUNICH 58 SHOWS WHAT HAPPEND TO US. AND HOW WE MADE SOMETHING DARK AND TRAJIC.NOT BREAK US. AND HOW THE LIGHT AHEAD BECOME OUR HOLY GRAIL. 68.I HOPE GOD GETS AS MUCH JOY WATCHING THE BUSBY BABES PLAY IN HEAVEN. WITH SIR MATT. R.I.P. FLOWERS OF MANCHESTER. GOD BLESS THEM ALL.

I remember when my grandad took me to old Trafford when I was young , he supported spurs aswell but still sat there and cheered for United. It was Roy Keane testimonial match. Never forget

Beautiful. It took something so tragic to give birth to something so beautiful.

Brilliant Stephen, excellent job mate. As a 9 year old boy back in the seventies it was easy to feel the history of the club from older generations and it felt like a family. I felt the support of the older fans who always looked out for me. We are in different times now, with more corporate stuff and more tourists, but we mustn't lose our soul. Your video shows a little bit of that soul mate. Manchester United, more than a club! God bless the Busby Babes. RIP.

Superb Tribute The way your son looks at his G Grandad is fantastic . If you know your history your future is certain

The Busby Babes will always be in my memory.

Cant imagine what people who were involved are feeling. I can't even imagine the fans back then who still are here with us how they feel. Like you're grandad for example I can see the sadness in him and he has the right to cry his heart out must have been difficult for him. RIP Busby Babes ❤

Absolutely chilling stuff. Watched it last year, watched it again today, and will watch it again next year. Fantastic bit of content and a wonderful tribute. Keep the red flag flying high, Man Utd will never die! 🇾🇪

Couldn't go but watched the service in the office on the utd app was tough not to get emotional especially when flowers was sang 😔

One of the best videos you’ve put out! Fantastic tribute, very classy and most of all the passion and love for the club shines through. You really managed to encapsulate the emotion and importance of not forgetting those who set the stage for the club we love today, well done.

Thank you Stephen for this video. Goosebumps

Hadn't seen this till now. Thank you for doing this. Red Flag flies high at my home, office and lab so that everyone knows!

Beautiful clip. Narration is superbly touching.

WELL DONE HOWSON BRILLIANT VIDEO!!! THE GREATEST CLUB IN THE WORLD REST IN PEACE TO EVERYONE WHO DIED THAT DAY

Amazing video Howson, people need to see this

The Flowers of Manchester, we'll keep waiving the Red Flag flying high, we'll tell our sons and daughters, our grandchildren, and they will tell theirs. We'll never die. Glory Glory Man United! Amazing video Stephen!

The other Munich video was good, but this trumps it by a long shot. It most certainly done the anniversary justice. Fair play to you and your family for taking the time to do the video! #FlowersOfManchester 🔴

Top class. Great video Ste! We'll never forget ❤️

I never knew what those roses ment when they were placed on a seat in Old Trafford during one of the intro screens for Fifa 07. I guess this is what they ment...

Well done Howson, spot on as ever

Jesus ste..brought tears to my eyes-beautiful viewing🔴🔴

How am I only just finding this video. Great vid Ste. We’ll never die🇾🇪

We'll Never Die, We'll Never Die, We'll Never Die, We'll Never Die, we'll keep the red flags flying high, cause Man United will Never Die. 🔴🔴❤

Real Quality video Howson, had me in damn tears. We are Manchester United 🔴❤️🔴 Never forget 1958.

Man, the decision to start this video in that trio is pure class. Absolutely brilliant. Keep it up man.

We will never Die!!

Brilliant tribute Stephen

Too many emotions, #GGMU 🔴🔴🔴

Incredibly moving video Howson - thanks to your Grandad for sharing his memories so eloquently with those of us too young to have been there.

Brilliant video Ste. I had my childhood with my dad telling me all about the disaster and the players that passed. Tears me up every year especially when I go to OT and see the memorial. Devastating, couldn't imagine being alive and witnessing that. Your grandad seems class and your boy taking it all in from him is heart warming.

Absolutely brilliant pure class 💯 we'll never die. 🔴⚪⚫

Probably be best , certainly the most emotional and poignant video you have done . And it's a credit to the babes and yourself and your family . Amazing and thank you

What a great video. Well done Steve 👍

Fans before glory.
