Man Utd remember Munich anniversary

Services marking the 50th anniversary of the Munich air crash will be held in England and Germany on Wednesday as survivors fall silent to remember those who died.
Bobby Charlton, who survived the crash that killed 23 people including eight of his Manchester United team mates, will be at a commemoration service at Old Trafford while there will also be a ceremony at the site of the crash in Munich.
A minute's silence will be held before England's friendly international against Switzerland at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday. Another silence will be ordered before Manchester United play Manchester City at Old Trafford on Sunday.
United will be playing in a replica of the 1958 kit.
City, whose former goalkeeper Frank Swift was killed in the crash while working as a journalist, will also wear a special kit on the day.
A permanent exhibition honouring that United side -- the Busby Babes -- in the South Stand tunnel at Old Trafford will also be opened on Wednesday, with the tunnel being renamed the Munich Tunnel.
"That day 50 years ago is still very clear in the minds of the family and friends of those who died," United chief executive David Gill told BBC Radio on Wednesday.
"It wasn't just Manchester United; it was the city of Manchester and the world of football that was affected.
"A lot of people who were involved at the time and people from the world of football, together with ordinary fans will be attending at Old Trafford this afternoon."
Newspapers, magazines and television programmes have been running for several days in the build-up to the anniversary, with The Times newspaper noting in its leader column on Wednesday that the disaster changed the face of English soccer, culture and society.
"Before Munich, football was a working class game. Since Munich it has become the national sport. Before Munich, the players were English boys paid workmen's wages. Since Munich footballers have become millionaires. Before Munich, football was another sport. Since Munich, it has become an obsession."
