I know I am from Canada and football (or soccer as we are forced to call it here) is only just beginning to find some recognition here. As I have said before I have had to love my club alone as I have never found any football fans or ~more to the point ~ Manchester United fans. So every February 6th,... I know what anniversary it is but noone else in this Country does. It is the day in 1958 when the plane flying the team went down in Munich Germany. 23 people died including 8 Manchester United players. They were flying back from Belgrade after being qualified for the Europeon Cup. One of the best tournaments this sport has to offer. Obviously it devastated the club as premium players were lost and it took a long time to rebuild that magic that Man U was back in those days.
So even if noone else I know has any idea what today is,... I do.
And so I take minute to bow my head and remember,... as I do every February 6th.
