Munich Anniversary

[Spurs quarter 69]

I'm Sure it wasn't City fans who started the Munich song. I think it may of been Bolton or Liverpool fans.

They are disgusting one in particular to the tune of the " Laughing Policeman" made feel sick. Think it started at Liverpool though and their would be outrage from them and rightly if other fans mocked Hillsborough. United fans lost all claim to the moral high ground however when they chanted Abervan against Cardiff back in the 70s. Thankfully it appears to have stopped at City and while our rivalry with the Rags is as fierce as ever it's perhaps a little less toxic these days.

Hey look. we're on David Pegg Walk!", I say to my Rag companion as we cycle down the Rochdale Canal. "Who's David Pegg?" he asks.

I can't believe he hasn't heard of Fairport Convention or Jethro Tull, shocking.

The media have been quiet on the anniversary and it slipped my mind completely.
The lockdown causes me to lose track of dates but its the first time the anniversary has not been plastered all over the place - except for the lengthy period before they saw money was to be made.
A quiet club memorial is the correct measure after 63 years.

Chelsea, surely?

R.I.P to all who perished.

My dad was as passionate a blue as you could ever meet, he lived and breathed City all his life. Didn’t stop him getting emotional whenever the subject of Munich came up. He described it as like the entire city being hit by a sledgehammer. I think that’s why he could never bring himself to hate United. He didn’t see the ugly behemoth we see today , he only ever saw a collection of bright young lives snuffed out all too early.

One of the very few times he ever really bollocked me was for calling them “Munichs” when I was a teenager. It disgusted him. As I’ve grown it disgusts me as well.

I don’t give a shite who they played for, or how the club treated their families afterwards, today is a day for remembering a collection of lives, young and older, that were taken far too soon, in a Very traumatic devastating manner.

God bless them all, and their families.

Rip to all who lost their lives.

I don’t think I have ever felt as proud of my club as I did that day.

That didn’t really prove anything to be honest but great photo nonetheless

Weird to even start this thread given the time passed and the OP bringing up a supposed negative against City fans with it.

We all know what it actually means today, just like that lot over the 62.

Really? I thought it proved that our fan base behaved themselves impeccably that day......really surprised a blue doesn’t agree with that?

How do you think Leeds or Liverpool fans would’ve behaved if they had’ve been playing United that day?
