All fans invited to Munich Remembrance Event at Old Trafford

Before United’s game yesterday the first of two Munich remembrance events took place at Old Trafford to remember all those that died in Munich.

On 6 February 2023 the most important day for Man United fans and fans from other clubs national and international when at 3.04pm on 6 February 1958 disaster struck, before then United had beaten Red Star Belgrade in the European Cup.

On the return from the game the aircraft had to re-fuel at Munich Airport, with all the players on board, team staff, and journalists they set off down the runway on what was a snowy day, the runway was not treated as well as they are today and the aircraft crashed.

Many of the Manchester United players died in the crash and some of those that survived died whilst in hospital, United staff and journalists also died along with a Manchester City player Frank Swift.
