From an Arsenal fan. The things you hear about Duncan Edwards makes it pretty painful to think just what might have been. That bit at the end "he could break a team single-handed" is really touching. I read a quote from Bobby Moore in his autobiography saying "I once played truant from school to watch Duncan play at White Hart Lane. There will never be another player like him.". I think coming from a legend like Moore, it speaks volumes for who Edwards was. R.I.P.
Great video, People have told me he was the best player to ever touch a football. The Munich Air Crash was unfortunate, RIP to all the fallen. Once again thank you.
I am a Man City fan, but think Duncan Edwards was amazing. You can only imagine how dominant England could have been had he lived, would have maybe won more World Cup's than just 1966. RIP
R.I.P. Duncan Edwards, you were taken from us far too early, as were the others who died in Munich. I'm sure had it never happened United would be on 25-30 league titles and 8 or 9 european cups by now.
He said they were different types of players both brilliant in there own way, it was so sad when Duncan died. I have seen some of the clips on Duncan and yes he did look special.
My grandad (who is from the same area as Duncan was) told me he once saw him play as a schoolboy in Halesowen. He said he was miles above the rest of the other players, in skill and in size.
Many respected legends of football have stated that he was the greatest player they had ever seen. You need say no more. Legend and true gent, what a loss to those that never had the privilege of seeing him fulfill his promise. R.I.P Duncan
I am a real MUFC fan, since the day i started playing Football. Haha. R.I.P Duncan Edwards, & the rest of the Busby Babes. God bless. Now let's win UEFA Champions League MUFC! For the Busby Babes!
I was too young to see Duncan. But I vividly remember Gerald Sinstadt saying of a 17 year old Wayne Rooney. "He is the best young English footballer I have seen since Duncan Edwards. Of course I knew through reading about him and older players talking about him that he was a great player. RIP.
My Grandad my moms father knew him. My grandad was 3 years older and remembers him growing up as kids in Dudley. He didn't know him that well but knew him enough to talk to, and it was obvious from a young age he was gonna be special!!! He would of been England's finest player!!!!
Edwards' impact as a powerful runner and his effectiveness at just smashing straight rhrough opposition players w/the ball at his feet should be mentioned as well.
one of the best talents in the world, im a boro fan but my dad said he was amazing, and all the people you hear talk about him and the videos you see of him i think he could of been englands greatest player off all time possibly in the worl god blees you duncan edwards R.I.P (from a boro fan and a fan of great players)
Duncan Edwards already achieved a lot in football when he sadly passed away at 21. He had already won 2 English Premier league titles (or the equivalent for that time) with Man Utd plus reached an FA Cup final, reached 2 European Cup Semi-finals plus had won 18 caps for England which included scoring 5 goals for England also!!
I'm a truly devoted life-long Newcastle United fan, but I will pay my respect to this brilliant team, those fenomenous football players and manager, they were truly and without doubt the best team England has ever seen and probably will seen!! R.I.P Busby-Babes!!
A real shame so little footage of him playing exists, before my time so never got to see him play live, but a few guys I know who did say to a man there has never been a better player. That is some true god given talent, LFC fan.
aye i work with an almost 65year old bolton fan who has seen them all and he says better than anyone he has ever seen...the complete player. what harry gregg said about having keane's tackle, scholes' pass, vidic's power in the air and rooney's power on the shot and still not close is exactly what he says...would have been a joy to watch! RIP lad. NUMQUAM MORIBIMUR!
Feb 1958 Manchester mourned the tragic loss of the greatest football players ever to grace a football field. They were young men who played the game with skill, determination and honesty making those who watched them (then and now) proud to be fans of the greatest club in the world. They will live forever in the hearts of true reds and their presence is felt at every game MUFC play. RIP to the babes we think of you everyday Manchester is still heartbroken at the loss of our boys.
Massive tribute to the guy, who was taken away so soon and yet was already held in the highest regard. So many years later, we find ourselves watching things like this, in utter respect.
devilinred I was privelaged to see Ducan a number of times before going overseas in the forces. Brilliant is not the word, he is a legend that every footballer should be told about. I was in Hong Kong at the time of the air disaster, the whole of the squadron were stunned. We were given the rest of the day off to pay our tributes to this wonder of the footballing world. Rest in peace Duncan, we will always think of you every time that Manchester United take to the field.
Well said. Duncan Edwards was a man of immense talent. He (and anyone else) should not be defined by the colour of the shirt he wore. A player AND a gentleman. xx
you can just see from his build - look how big and muscular his legs were. And this isnt something weights can get you - it is a natural build. And this is on a friggin 21 year old and hes huge. No wonder he was class
From what I have read he was a fantastic athlete, sometimes playing for the youth team in the morning and the senior team in the afternoon. He must have been truely awesome
Lovely video and its nice for him to be remembered.I have been a Man Utd fan all of my life and had never really seen any footage of this great player. Its easy to think that most of the greats come from the more modern game, but after hearing some of things about Duncan its so tragic that he never got to really show the world what he could do. On another note and with no disrespect, I cant help but see a resemblance (face that is) to Steven Gerard. Just look at 2:45!
Big Duncan, the best footballer ever to grace the worlds pitches, the black country giant, I can still see him in that famous red and white kit, playing against Wolves the very first match I went to, went in to support my home club and came out a United fan and all because of this giant of a boy, RIP Duncan and thanks for all the pleasure you gave.
I'm not an United fan in no sense of the word, but I with that I could've watched the Babes play, such a tragedy. Makes United's success afterwards even more incredible. The Babes truly put the word 'beautiful' in the beautiful game
Such a shame we never got to see the player he could have become. He was basically England's Pele, Maradona or Cruyff. A one in a lifetime player. R.I.P.
so talented and yet the career was ended so soon. Many people say that if duncan edwards was to live we would of won the world cup a few more times R.I.P Busby Babes and Duncan edwards one of the best player who has ever lived.
-----example he is to all footballers! 50 years on his legacy continues that says sooo much!! :) and what a physique :O never seen anyone quite like that quite amazing! what a treasure of english football and like the song goes live forever, forever young!!! r.i.p dear Duncan x
thetoon99 i agree with you all like charlton said you have law, best, cantona, giggs, but forget them the best player ive ever seen is duncan a complete player
what a wonderful signature he had :) im so intrigued about this guy he obviously was very special you can tell from how everyone ever associated with him speaks of him, but just to see him :) you can tell he was very special :) such a terrible terrible tragedy it makes me sooo sad and me wonder why! but at least we have some clips!!! just to see him he is an inpsiration for his manner his wonderful pure talent and how he played with a wonderful temperament, and courage, what an excellent----

Rest in piece from a Liverpool fan. Truly a great player, who knows what he would have done if his career wasn't cut short.
that is one powerful looking kid. u don't see many 21 year olds built like that, he looks like he could knock down a barn door,
RIP BIG DUNCAN.
I grew up in Manchester in the 1950 s
And all us kids worshipped Duncan . we were devastated as was everyone in Manchester by the aircrash .
RIP Duncan, "one of the greatest the world had ever seen"....Leeds United Fan
Visited his grave today in Dudley. In pristine condition and full of flowers and Man Utd scarves.
So emotional!
Breaks my heart watching this. Rest in peace, Flowers of Manchester.
Great video, People have told me he was the best player to ever touch a football. The Munich Air Crash was unfortunate, RIP to all the fallen. Once again thank you.
RIP Duncan. My Great-nans cousin :'(
Really?
Sepad I doubt that honestly
@@devonmccarroll3977 Why doubt it? Has to be someones great nans cousin..
@@TheTony70504 lol true
Brilliant tribute to the greatest of all time.
I am a Man City fan, but think Duncan Edwards was amazing. You can only imagine how dominant England could have been had he lived, would have maybe won more World Cup's than just 1966. RIP
Cups
if Duncan had lived....he would have been englands captain in the 1966 world cup final.....just a thought
Without doubt Duncan would have been England's captain, he was head and shoulders above the late great Bobby Moore.
England would have had another wc and united a few more cl to its collection
you cant say that for sure ....
Ben shawyer pretty obvious. Only reason liverpool has more european cups than us
@@martinh1309 you cant say that a player who died before he reached his prime would be world cup winning captain ... Anything could happen (and did)
Greatest player ever....a sad sad loss. Never forgotten Big Dunc RIP xXx
best ever half back england has produced united fans gave him a nickname
we simply called him[ the tank]rip duncan i will always remember you.
R.I.P. Legend! Happy Birthday to the GREATEST footballer EVER!!!!
My arse
What a fabulous tribute to who was, potentially ,the greatest footballer of them all.
Duncan Edwards ,the Gentle Giant.
R.I.P.
R.I.P. Duncan & We Were Blessed To Have Had You At Old Trafford,
Sadly Taken Away Forever Etched In Our Hearts & History You True Legend & Gentleman.
Whoever put thumbs down to this comment should be ashamed of themselves. The greatest British player EVER.
R.I.P. Duncan Edwards, you were taken from us far too early, as were the others who died in Munich. I'm sure had it never happened United would be on 25-30 league titles and 8 or 9 european cups by now.
Let's hope he's there in spirit at Wembley next week. Dunc and Georgie, watching the game and kicking every ball. God bless, and RIP.
2 legends now together Duncan Edwards - Bobby Charlton RIP Greats.
Legend before my time, legend when I was born in the 70s , still a legend to this day and will be a legend long after I've gone,
He said they were different types of players both brilliant in there own way, it was so sad when Duncan died.
I have seen some of the clips on Duncan and yes he did look special.

I am a real MUFC fan, since the day i started playing Football. Haha.
R.I.P Duncan Edwards, & the rest of the Busby Babes. God bless.
Now let's win UEFA Champions League MUFC! For the Busby Babes!
I'm a Liverpool fan but, hats off, Duncan Edwards was a great talent. Silk when players are cotton.
In the words of a true legend in Bobby Charlton: He (Duncan Edwards) was a colossus.
I was too young to see Duncan. But I vividly remember Gerald Sinstadt saying of a 17 year old Wayne Rooney. "He is the best young English footballer I have seen since Duncan Edwards. Of course I knew through reading about him and older players talking about him that he was a great player. RIP.

the most sad and tragic talent lost of all times, Bobby Charlton said that Duncan Edwards was the only player who ever made him feel inferior.
If only the boy had grown into a man. God bless what might have been Duncan. Xxx
wow what a beast he was...look at his calves theyre freakin huge! RIP duncan
Big Duncan R,I,P we would love to have you now god bless love from Dublin
Best footballer of all time!
Arsenal fan here and this gives me the chills... true hero, so sad that he passed so young.
Massive tribute to the guy, who was taken away so soon and yet was already held in the highest regard. So many years later, we find ourselves watching things like this, in utter respect.

R.I.P Duncan Edwards, so sad you never went on to prove your greatness. With very little footage out there. God bless and GGMU

Happy Birthday Duncan. R.I.P
respect mate, just a shame that some leeds fans have no respect for the busby babes, full credits to you bro.
I'm a Liverpool fan but, hats off, Duncan Edwards was a great talent. Silk when most players are cotton.
R.I.P to everyone who died or was affected by the Munich air disaster. I hope the minutes silence is respected by Manchester City this weekend.
YNWA
See you in 5 years when this gets recommended again
What a legend
The Greatest Player the World has never seen.
The greatest ever. Think of Bryan Robson and Roy Keane together and you're probably half way there.
Lovely video and its nice for him to be remembered.I have been a Man Utd fan all of my life and had never really seen any footage of this great player. Its easy to think that most of the greats come from the more modern game, but after hearing some of things about Duncan its so tragic that he never got to really show the world what he could do.

WHEN FOOTBALL WAS A JOY NO GREED JUST GUYS WHO LOVED THE GAME AND HAD A DRINK WITH THE FANS
Big Duncan, the best footballer ever to grace the worlds pitches, the black country giant, I can still see him in that famous red and white kit, playing against Wolves the very first match I went to, went in to support my home club and came out a United fan and all because of this giant of a boy, RIP Duncan and thanks for all the pleasure you gave.
5foot 10
GOD BLESS DUNCAN AND THE BUSBY BABES
I'm not an United fan in no sense of the word, but I with that I could've watched the Babes play, such a tragedy. Makes United's success afterwards even more incredible. The Babes truly put the word 'beautiful' in the beautiful game
Such a shame we never got to see the player he could have become. He was basically England's Pele, Maradona or Cruyff. A one in a lifetime player. R.I.P.
Thank you all so much to eveyone who has whatched my video of duncan edwards and thank you for your kind comments
If you come from Birmingham or Dudley and take an interest in football you know about Duncan Edwards and how grate he was.
Built like a tank, he had already played 5 seaons as a first team player...must have gone straight into the starting 11 from the age of 16. RIP
Greatest player that as ever lived great video. what is the music to video's you have done about Duncan thanks tony
God took him because Heaven's football team needed a star. R.I.P. Duncan. GGMU The Red Flag Always Waves High
so talented and yet the career was ended so soon. Many people say that if duncan edwards was to live we would of won the world cup a few more times R.I.P Busby Babes and Duncan edwards one of the best player who has ever lived.
Sir Bobby Charlton insists he was the best player he ever saw , that’s good enough for me.
Bobby Charton said he was the greatest player he ever played, he would have been an all time great...how incredibly sad.
It's a true tragedy that this man wasn't given the opportunity to live a long life and bless the world of football with his talent.
Duncan was a good looking footballer!!!!!!!!
How sad , and Bobby Charlton has just passed away . Time goes so quickly.
-----example he is to all footballers! 50 years on his legacy continues that says sooo much!! :) and what a physique :O never seen anyone quite like that quite amazing!
what a treasure of english football and like the song goes live forever, forever young!!!
r.i.p dear Duncan x
Bobby moore never wouldve been captain in 66... RIP big Duncan
I wish I could see people who clicked thumb down...
R.I.P. Duncan!
Casta Diva what a choice of score.....
thetoon99 i agree with you all like charlton said you have law, best, cantona, giggs, but forget them the best player ive ever seen is duncan a complete player
thought the chap playing him in the film last night did a top job
My dad witness to the hibs famous five( a decent collection of players) always said edwards was the best player he had ever seen
He was built differently from others. Damn shame..
Indeed
Would of been in the 1966 England team and captain what a footballer never seen his like again
It reminded me of Steven Gerrard in the initial facials ... tragic yet not forgotten!
What music is this playing to the video?
Respect to Duncan Edwards and family. RIP
about five potential England legends died in the Munich air crash, it's horrible to think how far England would have gone with Duncan Edwards
R.I.P Dudley boy. :D
If Charlton said he was the best then he WAS the best, no question.
R.I.P Big Dunc
R.I.P Duncan.
