Rooney Wallpaper: Player Of The Month February 2011

Rooney is star man in February. Wayne Rooney is ManUtd.com’s Player of the Month for February. The Reds' no.10 may not have consistently reached 2009/10's heights this term, but last month he conjured some spectacular moments – most notably that overhead kick winner against Manchester City – to swing fans' votes in his favour.

6 February 1958 Forever Remembered


On 6 February 1958, a charter plane carrying 44 people crashed after refuelling at Munich Airport.








The accident claimed 23 lives, among them eight Manchester United players and three club officials.

We hope these pages are a fitting tribute to the young United side many believe would have gone on to dominate European football - the Busby Babes.

We will never forget.













Roger Byrne (28), Eddie Colman (21), Mark Jones (24), David Pegg (22), Tommy Taylor (26), Geoff Bent (25), Liam Whelan (22) and Duncan Edwards (21) all died, along with club secretary Walter Crickmer, trainer Tom Curry and coach Bert Whalley.











Eight journalists died - Alf Clarke, Tom Jackson, Don Davies, George Fellows, Archie Ledbrook, Eric Thompson, Henry Rose, and Frank Swift who was a former Manchester City player. Plane captain Ken Rayment perished, as did Sir Matt's friend Willie Satinoff. Travel agent Bela Miklos and crew member Tom Cable also died.
