My dad too - said people were crying in the streets reading newspapers - reds and blues - the original post I call BSMy dad was 18 and an apprentice when news came through about Munich , your story is the total opposite to what he told me,he's still alive now at 83, he said grown men were crying openly on the shop floor.Its always stuck.with me and always will.
I was a lad of 8 at the time but the memory of it has stuck with me. I come from a family of Blues and I well remember how it affected my Mum & Dad and my elder brother. Also, our neighbours. There was sadness all around and I don't believe for one minute that anyone cheered the news. I agree with you, that story was BS.My dad too - said people were crying in the streets reading newspapers - reds and blues - the original post I call BS
I was always told all Manchester was devastated at the news. My parents were both solid blues from Gorton, I remember my Mam telling me she shed tears at hearing about it - she liked Roger Byrne - a Gorton lad who went to school in Abbey Hey. My Grandad, who used to watch City going back to Hyde Road, told me all about about Frank Swift being killed when I was a nipper.My dad was 18 and an apprentice when news came through about Munich , your story is the total opposite to what he told me,he's still alive now at 83, he said grown men were crying openly on the shop floor.Its always stuck.with me and always will.
