seems that, finally, will make a film about the Busy Babes, as stated in the blog of Carlos Marañón in Cinemanía ... The film, which actually will be a TV movie produced by the BBC, will be titled: United (The Busby Babes and The Munich Air Crash). This leads me to reflect again on the conflicting destinies of the two greatest exponents of that generation: Duncan Edwards and Bobby Charlton.
Determinism is a theory that assumes that the evolution of natural phenomena is fully established in advance. According to proponents of this theory, chance does not play a role in our circumstances, no human free will would be a switch of our actions. Basis for these philosophers, Sir Bobby Charlton would have been born to win the World Cup, and not to die at an airport in Munich.
born Charlton in Northumberland in 1937. With seventeen years he joined the discipline of Manchester United. There, along with others of their age, among which was Duncan Edwards, formed a special group under the command of Mr. Busby. Edwards was the star. However, their destination was the complete triumph. The Charlton itself.
In the 1957/58 European Cup quarter-final at United paired with Red Star Belgrade. The second leg, which ended with a 3-3, meant that the British reached the second consecutive year the semifinals. The return flight to the islands made a stopover in Munich. There, Charlton and Viollet changed their seats by Taylor and Pegg. The plane was about to take off. Never made it. Crashed into a house and broke in half.
At the scene of the disaster, the goalkeeper Harry Gregg began rescuing fellow plane. Charlton and Viollet saved, then again by Mr. Busby and Blanchflower. And also rescued a woman, Vera Lukic and her daughter Venona. However, 23 people were killed that day. Between them, Duncan Edwards, who resisted his fate a few days. Taylor also died and Pegg, who had swapped their seats by Charlton and Viollet seeking the perceived safety that gave the plane's tail.
For Busby, Edwards was the best player in the world, Charlton said that Edwards was the only player that made him feel inferior. However, Charlton was called to achieve the greatest triumphs that a footballer has achieved so far. In 1966, Bobby Charlton take the lead in selecting Alf Ramsey to victory in the World Cup. There he shared the win with Gordon Banks, Bobby Moore, Nobby Stiles, Geoff Hurst and his brother Jackie, among others. Many thought that he lifted the Jules Rimet Cup at Wembley Moore was having collected Duncan Edwards ... Two years later, in 1968, Charlton was the architect of the first World Cup of Europe an English club Manchester United.
Bobby Charlton left the team after the elimination in the 1970 World Cup from Germany. He is still remembered as one of the best matches of World Cup history. Also left United in 1973 after several years of decline and conflict with the other stars of the team: George Best of Northern Ireland and Scotland's Dennis Law. Currently, Bobby Charlton is part of the management staff of Old Trafford.
The Munich tragedy is still remembered by fans. The great Morrissey, who was not born yet when there was disaster, remember the fallen in one of his last songs, "I miss, every night they kissed. Their faces are etched in our minds. I would have fallen with them. " Now, we will also have the movie ... It is exciting to see and hear how the Manchester fans remember, more than fifty years later, the Busy Babes: Forever and ever, We'll follow the boys. Of Man United - The Busby babes!
