Was going to put this in the "graphics board" section but thought seeing as its aimed at this thread also I'd put it in here (I can move it if Mods wish though). No fancy stuff just straight to the point for this one.  |

Do you have a Facebook 'cover' sized one my graphics savvy friend? That is classy as all get out, and I reckon that space down on the left will be just perfect for where the profile pic sits.
As for Munich, I can't deal with this time of year, I get so emotional for something that happened waaaaay before my time it could be considered ridiculous. Just thinking about Munich gets the lump in my throat.

Where's the poem from?
Just one Q - should the 2nd last line say "our bones to look the same" ?

One cold and bitter Thursday in Munich, Germany,
Eight great football stalwarts conceded victory,
Eight men will never play again who met destruction there,
The flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester
Matt Busby’s boys were flying, returning from Belgrade,
This great United family, all masters of their trade,
The pilot of the aircraft, the skipper Captain Thain,
Three times they tried to take off and twice turned back again.
The third time down the runaway disaster followed close,
There was slush upon that runaway and the aircraft never rose,
It ploughed into the marshy ground, it broke, it overturned.
And eight of the team were killed as the blazing wreckage burned.
Roger Byrne and Tommy Taylor who were capped for England’s side.
And Ireland’s Billy Whelan and England’s Geoff Bent died,
Mark Jones and Eddie Colman, and David Pegg also,
They all lost their lives as it ploughed on through the snow.
Big Duncan he went too, with an injury to his brain,
And Ireland’s brave Jack Blanchflower will never play again,
The great Matt Busby lay there, the father of his team
Three long months passed by before he saw his team again.
The trainer, coach and secretary, and a member of the crew,
Also eight sporting journalists who with United flew,
And one of them Big Swifty, who we will ne’er forget,
The finest English ‘keeper that ever graced the net.
Oh, England’s finest football team its record truly great,
Its proud successes mocked by a cruel turn of fate.
Eight men will never play again, who met destruction there,
The flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester.

Never forgotten! R.I.P.
