Описание: Manchester United Busby Babe great Duncan Edwards, Selected in an All Time England Best XI by Alan Mullery & Alan Ball


Sir Bobby Robson
"He would have been only twenty-one- he played like a man- almost a demon.

Two Wonderful accurate feet and his running with the ball and bringing the ball through the midfield was an awe-inspiring sight.

He was exceptionally quick for such a big lad and really took some stopping and tackling.

When he tackled it was like being hit by a sherman tank."

“He was the best player I ever saw, or am likely to see in my life. If I was asked to name a team of the players I played with, his name would be the first one I would put in, no question about it.” — Sir Bobby Charlton

“He was Roy Keane and Bryan Robson combined, but in a bigger body. He could play as an attacker, creator or defender and be the best player on the pitch… He was world class when United had the ball, and when the opposition has the ball he was our best defender.” — Wilf McGuinness, Edwards’ team-mate at United, and future United manager


“I never thought I could be as good as him. Never. He had every talent, he was the best short passer, he was the best long passer. He had terrific vision. His 60-70 yard passes with a heavy ball were pinpoint accurate. He had an enthusiasm for the game, he never stopped talking about it. He’d pick you up if you were losing. He was absolutely sensational, fantastic. He was a great loss to England, and he would probably have played in the 1966 World Cup final because he was young enough. Probably also the United team that won the European Cup in 1968.” — Sir Bobby Charlton

“What is beyond dispute is that Duncan Edwards, at the age of 21 was the finest young player in this country at that time and surely would have gone on to be one of the greatest players the world has ever seen.” — Sir Bobby Robson
