For everyone laughing at Manchester
United, allow me to tell you a story.
Railway workmen came together to play
football once and dared to dream. A
dream to make something more of their
lives.
That is Manchester United.
The team lost its first ever competitive
game 6-0 to Bolton Reserves. It got
relegated in its second season of
competitive football. In January 1902, it
was asked to shut down because of
debts. It didn't. Instead it came back up
and won the league, a FA
Cup and a charity shield 2 years later.
That is Manchester United.
From 1922 to 1940, United were
relegated again and again and again.
Faced with bankruptcy in 1931, United
were on the verge of disaster again.
Instead, the team held on and fought on.
Finishing 2nd in 1947, 1948 and 1949; 1st
in '52, 55 and 56.
It won the FA Cup in 1948 and became
the first English team to play in Europe. It
had to wait 41 years for glory.
That is Manchester United.
A plane took off on February 6,
1958. To greatness it seemed. And came
crashing down. 8 players died.
Facing despair and doom, the club fought
on. It reached the final of the FA Cup that
year. Without a first team, it plodded on
and rebuilt. 7 years later, as
the fallen 8 smiled from above, the team
won the title in 1965 and 1967. And the
European Cup in '68.
That is Manchester United.
For 25 years it waited to win again,
getting relegated, losing Managers and
players as rivals laughed. It didn't fall
then either. A league title in 1992, a
double in '93 and a treble in '99. That is
Manchester. Blood, toil, sweat and tears.
That is Manchester United.
Our squad needs a reshuffle you say. Our
tactics are outdated you say. You laugh
because you think we are down. You
laugh because you think we are lost. We
smile because we have seen it all. We
smile because we know we will ALWAYS
be back. Wins from incredible positions.
Glory from the darkest despair.
That is Manchester United.
We are Manchester United.'
eRaZe Levityy_x nice one man
eRaZe Levityy_x gives me the chills
Awesome 😁
🔴⚫️ a true united fan
Anyone laughing about this is a disgrace. The biggest tragedy football has ever experienced
The way United battled back, proves they have a huge mentality and that makes them the biggest team in England by a mile. And even as an Arsenal I have to admit it.
Respect
Rip Munich Liverpool fan
The mad thing is the same year that horrible tragedy happened they played the game cup final
Guillaume Anderson we came back from nothing.. literally ashes. A broken team and financial ruin.... we almost dissolved as a club. We earned it all back and more and now financially doped teams think they're on our level. They never will be what Manchester utd are
It's not just about football
R.I.P boys 60 years on but never forgotten.
Rivals not enemies... R.I.P.
Celticbhoy1967 well it’s called respect then again your a Celtic fan u wouldn’t know what that word means the fact that you’ve went through like 5 comments just proves your a very lonely person with nothing better to do must be funny even in death those 23 people who died have more importance in the world than you
The words of a little no life sad person who is probably some 40 year old DLA northern Irish guy who still lives with his mom
Thank you sir
:))
Thank you
As a Man United fan I a appreciate
This was so beautiful to watch, as a Chelsea fan I will always consider Manchester United as a juggernaut in world football both on and off the pitch. World class from everyone in this video.
Celticbhoy1967 Respect mate
Matthew Hardwick don’t worry bro he’s leaving replies all over this videos comment section day after day clearly he has no life
Respect ✊
Jaden Christianson bro why you saying that when he’s trying to respect us?
Respect :))
we will never die...
United in that moment, United lived on, United succeed, United remember, United forever 🔴⚪️.
RIP to the fallen ones. NO ONE deserves to lose their life, doesn't matter how bitter the rivalry is.
Tom respect from a united fan. We are all football fans. There should never be hatred rivalry.
A CITYUNITED
Massive respect to you! :)
Celticbhoy1967 your not a real man if you don't. Some City players also lost their lives in the crash you know?.... Poor knowledge of the sport we love.
Celticbhoy1967 typical no respect IRA supporting bastard
Celticbhoy1967 football is just a sport, people lost their lives in this tragic event, to think like that is just sick, we should all stand by each other and remember those who were so tragically killed
Charlie Hunter the ira aren't anywhere near as bad as the British empire.
You will be in our hearts forever
R.I.P. respect from a liverpool fan
Darkfloyd Massive respect to you
Darkfloyd respect.
@@henriquemartins4001 respect
From a Man United thanks mate ☺️😌
Respect,we are football fans not ennemies
This is now the first thing i watch every year on February 6th. RIP to the Busby babes, you will never be forgotten
The worst thing was that it was a young side: most playing in the day were as old as anything, so the fact one of the world's future (potentially) superpowers collapsed just like that has to be the worst aspect of the tragedy. But it's what makes us the club we are today, they may be dead but we play with their memories in the shirt. RIP
R.I.P MEN GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTEN R.I.P xx
(from a liverpool fan)
That’s Class Mate :)
Coming from a Tottenham Hotspur fan R.I.P

Bran respect ❤
I watch this on every anniversary. We’ll never die.
The only team in Europe that could have actually challenged that original conquering Madrid side of the 50s which won 5 European Cups in a row. Their legacy will never be forgotten. 😢

United winning the European Cup 10 years after this disaster is easily one of the greatest achievements in club football history.

Arubaruna same. Everytime I hear the name of Taylor and Duncan I cry. I wish they never died.
United captured my heart, i cannot explain to modern day fans who claim you have to be just from manchester to love United. I love United and wherever im from, i am proud.
I hate man utd Liverpool fc I love I bet that you're not from Manchester
A great club being held hostage by the Glazers. Manchester United will never die and this super league changes nothing. One day we will get Manchester United back.
We'll follow the boys forever and ever.
One day hopefully
@@Racurz we will protest and boycott and get glazers out what they have done is unforgivable
Rip Munich Liverpool fan god bless

rip🙏🏻
Never forgotten R.I.P Flowers of Manchester ❤️🌹
RIP those wonderful players. Sir Matt was our old captain at Liverpool and worked miracles in rebuilding Utd after this terrible day. You will never be forgotten.
Legends of the club united never die 🌹💔
My grandfather has told me how great this team was and how sad it was back in ‘58 even as a Leeds United fan because they captured the hearts of the nation so much, this was a tragedy.
Also as a Leeds fan I can only apologise for the sick twisted individuals who chant at & taunt United fans about this.
It was truly a sad development. This also reminds me of the Zambian national soccer team that perished in a plane crush on the coastal of Gabon in 1991. As a Zambian and Man Utd fan these developments bring sorrow to my heart.
I remember hearing about the Zambia crash a few years ago. Big things were expected of that Zambian side, potential that was sadly never to be fulfilled.
R.I.P LEGENDS✊👏🙌
God bless the babes God bless manchester united ❤
Great history, great legacy, we'll never die. RIP
We will never forget RIP GGMU The flowers of English football, The flowers of Manchester.
We will remember them rivalries aside thinking of everyone at United today! Rest in peace Busby Babes! YNWA
love it respect manchester
OUR RED HEROES PLAY ON IN HEAVEN AND IN MY DREAMS.FOR ALL OF US WHO WERE LUCKY TO SEE THEM PLAY CAN PASS ON TO OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN OUR MEMORIES AND LET THEM KNOW WHY MANCHESTER UNITED NEVER DIE.
Busby babes always in are hearts ❤️🔴🙌😭
RIP to all the loving Man United players 😢😢😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Message to both Liverpool fans and Manchester united fans please stop making fun of Munich disaster and Hillsborough disaster! Respect :)
agree 100% mate rivalry is there but Munich and Hillsborough should be respected and not the centre of jokes
I love liverpool fc but its a sad day for man utd god bless
Rohit Chetri agreed. There should never be hatred rivalry.
Just thort you would bring that up ?
Agree but Munich was long before Hillsborough so were waiting on the scousers to stop
Just watching this back now
RIP from a scoucer
Legends never die come on united
Much love from Wolverhampton Wanderers. Big Duncan Edwards from Dudley, forever in our hearts too.
Couldn't care less if we win a title ever again. Which other team has a story as grand, as glittering and as tragic as Utd's. I will stick by this club no matter how low it goes or how distant from it's past triumphs it fades. Because NOBODY can take away our HISTORY. Or our PRIDE!!!
The Flowers Of English Football,
The Flowers Of Manchester.
We shall always remember them😢....and now Sir Bobby's finally with his pals❤
I’ll honestly say Man Utd are absolutely show stopping !!! I’m a Liverpool fan but wow what a team !, I wish I was born 30 miles left !
