Retired But Never Forgotten

So much debate about Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement,
especially now the Mourinho 'bandwagon' has returned
to Chelsea.
There were several more retirements this year; maybe,
without mentioning all their names, it's time for many of
our footballing heroes to move on.
However, one name above all others will be spoken
about for years to come.
Not many people will remember let alone have seen the
great Eddie Colman who sadly died in the Munich air
disaster in 1958. I am fortunate to have watched him
playing for Manchester United. As a young footballer,
I was in awe of him. He was the greatest mid-fielder
(half-back in those days) alongside the magnificent Duncan Edwards. What an incredible partnership. Colman was simply the best....until Paul Scholes appeared on the footie scene. A genius. Thanks for the wonderful memories.
