Found this really good, short video tribute to Busby Babe, Liam Whelan from Dublin who was killed in the Munich Air Disaster.
Some old footage of him outside Old Trafford, and him playing etc. This was put online earlier this year. Nice Video.

nice of you for bringing this to the forum RDE.
52 goals from 92 games is a very good scoring ratio for what seems to be a winger (based on that formation shown in the clip). many players would kill for that ratio today, in an era where many consider the game to be much softer than it was back in his day.
it's sad to think about the level of talent lost in that air disaster. it is probably the most important point in the club's history, but imagine how much richer the club's history would have been had his generation been able to make their mark in they way they intended, on the pitch, and not as inspiration for the next generation to do them proud.

I found this video on-line recently Jambritred, glad you like it.
Yeah, really great short video tribute to Liam. It's great to see even a few seconds of him on the ball.
I saw Liam's older brother being interviewed and apparently Liam was scouted by United for a while before we signed him.
He was saying that Matt Busby saw Liam as a play-maker, setting up chances for the likes of Tommy Taylor, etc. The guy providing assists.
As you say, for Liam to have scored 52 goals for United in 98 games, is an amazing total.
