This is a great video. At 00:34 the tears were already runing down my face

Whoever made it, it's awesome work!!! Love the black and white and esp the last picture of the whole team, where the guys who lost their lives are having a red shirt.

The "geniuses" at Sky Sports made that. Though, credit where it's deserved, it's one of the best vids I've ever seen.

WE'LL NEVER DIE WE'LL NEVER DIE !!

This is the lyrics to a song "Fifty Years"
Written by Pete Martin of the Salford Band Hanky Park.
Pete will be registering here shortly,
he drops in to say hi from time to time.
The song is beautiful too I'll try to find it to put here.

It's fifty years, since you were taken, the pride of football, our Busby Babes.
We've shed our tears, and watched the newsreels, whilst you have slumbered, in your graves.
Though life's moved on, the Reds continue, we've plumbed the depths, we've touched the sky.
Our mem'ries of, the flowers of Manchester, like Man United, will never die.

Roger Byrne, our worthy captain, Geoff and Eddie, Salford brave,
David Pegg, and Tommy Taylor, Mark and Liam, such pleasure gave.
For all you men, you football stalwarts, death was instant, life was gone.
For fifteen days, of pain and struggle, mighty Duncan, lingered on.

We don't forget, the other victims, United players who survived.
Some played on, achieving glory, some too injured to make the side
Our thoughts now turn to all non-players, this tragedy, was theirs as well
The wretched grief, for friends and families, so far removed from where they fell.

You are the strength and inspiration, for those who play your roles today.
We look for flair and pace and passion, to play the game United's way.
Though life's moved on, the Reds continue, we've plumbed the depths, we've touched the sky.
Our mem'ries of, the flowers of Manchester, like Man United, will never die.

Will never die, will never die, like Man United, will never die
Will never die, will never die, like Man United, will never die.
