Description
Duncan Edwards, a footballer from Dudley in the Black Country, stood out among his peers at Manchester United and England. His skill, physical strength, and toughness earned him recognition as one of the Busby Babes, the young team formed under manager Matt Busby in the mid-1950s. Tragically, Edwards was one of eight players who died in the Munich air disaster in February 1958. Despite his untimely death, Edwards' legacy has endured, with many of his contemporaries describing him as the best player they had played with or against. This book tells the story of Edwards' life, drawing on research by David Barratt and insights from lifelong friends David Harrison and Alan Hughes. Through this biography, readers can gain a deeper understanding of Edwards' remarkable career and the impact he had on the sport.
