Munichs
A fictional recounting of the 1958 Manchester United Munich plane crash which killed half the young, outstanding team, staff and attendant journalists. We follow injured victims, bereaved families and the club as it battled to rebuild, concentrating on a few individuals - Bobby Charlton among them. It's strength lies in the often moving if sometimes repetitive telling of individual stories and the evocation of a time when news from abroad was far from instant. The tragedy of youthful promise cut short sets the mood.
(Tony Pratt - bwl 116 Spring 2025)
