The Flowers of Manchester.

Another year passes nearly.

“When I used to hear Muhammad Ali proclaim to the world that he was the greatest I used to smile,” Murphy once said. “The greatest of them all was a footballer named Duncan Edwards.”

Jimmy Murphy's advice on 7:40 and Duncan Edwards from around 9:45 should be said to every youth player at the club.

“When I used to hear Muhammad Ali proclaim to the world that he was the greatest I used to smile,” Murphy once said. “The greatest of them all was a footballer named Duncan Edwards.”

Epic film. Bought the dvd on the day of release.

The bit when Jimmy walks into his office and the receptionist breaks the news... the expression on his face... gets me every fuckin' time.
