Duncan Edwards, who hailed from Dudley in the Black Country, played for Manchester United and England. He was one of the Busby Babes, the young, brilliant United team formed under manager Matt Busby in the mid-1950s. Even in such esteemed company Duncan stood out, noted for his skill, physical strength and toughness.

Tragically he was one of the eight players who died as a result of the Munich air disaster in February 1958. Many of Duncan''s contemporaries described him as the best player they had played with, played against, or had seen play.

David Barratt who, like Duncan, is from the Black Country, has spent a lifetime researching Duncan''s history.

He brings together in this book -- with the help of his life-long friends David Harrison and Alan Hughes -- the outstanding, but sadly brief, life of the great footballer.
