Fairly mediocre film

The opening scene is very shocking. Snow, dripping blood, a lonely seat, a blond boy with a head injury who woke up from a semi-coma, surrounded by a deceased teammate.

Flashbacks to watching a movie with the whole team two years ago and training together felt so warm and beautiful. The little friend who went to watch the football next door because his girlfriend was a Manchester City fan was taught in the dressing room that "the first thing you should ask is whether she is red or blue"...

David Tennant is also very cute, although I don't know if it's because of makeup Or is he really so old now... ("I'm a coach, not a manager, politics let Mr. Busby handle it") Even if all the characters use a stupid Manchester accent!

After filming the scene at Munich Airport, I understood why it is said that the descendants of Sir Bobby were dissatisfied with the story. Whether he is in the hearts of Manchester United fans or in football, he is a god-like existence. How can there be such a moment of vulnerability and confusion... But he was only 20 years old at that time... sigh...

League after learning the bad news Chairman made a condolence call to the club and said that the league would be postponed after that (and the reason why they had to take off from Munich airport in the snow was to catch up with this game, after the League did not agree to postpone the league for their European trip, and said that it would be late if they arrived. penalty points). ...sigh... I thought the Chairman would say sorry... but he still didn't. (As an aside, the accent of the chairman children's shoes is the only British English accent that everyone is familiar with in the whole play...)

Then it turns out that in addition to the league executives being bad guys, the club executives also acted as villains. When Murphy (assistant coach played by DT) was getting ready to continue the season, the club president said: The deceased players were not insured, the club could not afford to buy new players, and the board of directors planned to shut down Manchester United... ... Although they were later convinced by DT's Murphy's generous speech... (or rather they were used as a background for the generous speech...) It's


pretty decent for a football TV movie.

United quotes

  • Jimmy Murphy: Football is a simple game. You win the ball, you pass the ball, you score a goal. All else is embellishment.

  • Bobby Charlton: What more do I need to do to get into the team?

    Duncan Edwards: Keep working, keep smiling, time will come.

    Bobby Charlton: That's easy for you to say with your England cap at seventeen. Everybody loves you, mighty Duncan Edwards.

    Duncan Edwards: I went throught the same as you. And I grafted every hour of every day. I didin't get given a place in the team, I stole one. It's a struggle to get in the team, it's a struggle to stay in it. But if you don't have the guts to fight for that for the next fifteen years of your life, you best get on the train now. It'd be stupid, because you're bloody good actually.
