"I always thought it was very fitting that the 1968 team should win the European Cup on the 10th anniversary of Munich and, 50 years on, I don't think there could be a more fitting way for Manchester United to remember everyone who died than by winning it again.
"My dad would be looking down, along with all the lads who were killed, and they would be so proud if the team can do it again."
The Guardian:
United are close to announcing plans for a new memorial outside Old Trafford and, to discuss the proposals in detail, have set up a working panel including Gill, the long-serving secretary Ken Ramsden and the freelance journalist David Meek, who worked as the United correspondent on the Manchester Evening News from 1958 to 1995. One idea under consideration is for the players to wear a one-off replica shirt from 1958, devoid of shirt numbers and sponsors' logos, when they play Manchester City on February 9, the closest game to the anniversary.
Frank Swift, a former City player, was among those killed in Munich, working as a News of the World reporter, and United will involve their neighbours so, in the words of one Old Trafford official, it is not just a Manchester United event but something to unite the entire city.
"I'm delighted and I know the supporters will be, too, because what happened in Munich, and the terrible loss of life, was the biggest moment in the history of Manchester United," said Sandy Busby. "And one thing about United is that they are extremely good about recognising the history of the club and remembering the people who lost their lives."
