Yes. It was a defining moment in Manchester. Today there is a lack of how it affected the city, that Kennedy moment. These were young men in their prime who had survived a war. They treated the working men of Manchester to an escape from the grime and grim of their daily lives.
For those of you who are not a Manc or Utd fan consider this. The group of young men had some of England's finest players, imagine if Duncan Edwards had survived and gone on to play for England.
Having spoken to a mates Dad, a City fan, he described how it affected the city and his family (true blues to a core).
Hopefully the city fans on Sunday will respect the silence, not for Utd but for the city and the loss of their great goalkeeper.
