King Eric. Georgie. Wayne. Becks. Fergie, obviously. Jimmy Murphy. Even the Da Silva twins. Wayne Barton is the world's most prolific and encyclopaedic author on all things Manchester United and his latest tome will be a long overdue, comprehensive account of Manchester United's tragic and remarkable hero. The eternal icon.
Duncan Edwards' heartbreaking tale is one woven deep into the core of United and the hearts and minds of every single supporter. It's a melancholic story. An 'oh, what could have been.' But it's also an uplifting one. One that should be remembered for its greatness as well as its conclusion.
The baby-faced star of the Busby Babes. A remarkable footballer who defied his tender age. As strong as an ox and as quick as a viper. A life cut devastatingly short but one that achieved so much in just 21 years that he is still held in hallowed reverence to this day, 65 years on from his death.
