Because so much has been written about the dreadful events of the horrific, Munich afternoon of Thursday 6th February 1958, it's very easy to forget an actual miracle did actually occur on that gruesome day. Eight players in time were lost with Duncan Edwards fighting ferociously for fifteen days following the crash. Thanks to Jimmy Murphy, United are still around. After Munich Jimmy ranted at the world, he cursed, cried, pleaded, threatened, prayed and gave every inch of his being to drag his beloved club back from the brink. There were those on the board who thought it a fight unwinnable and wanted to shut the gates, but on informing Jimmy of this idea, amid a Welsh firestorm, they swiftly changed their minds and Manchester United went on and on. This was the miracle.
This the Eighth Day.
