  • The Greatest History by «Manchester United»
    УДК 796.332(410.176.11):811.111 Kostykevich P., Mileiko A. The greatest history by «Manchester United» Belarusian National Technical University Minsk, Belarus Manchester United are an English club in name and a У global club in nature. They were the first English side to playТ in the European Cup and the first side to win it, and they are the only English side to have become world club champions.Н In addition, the Munich Air Disaster of 1958, which wiped out one of football's great young sides, changed the clubБ indelibly. The club was founded in 1878 as Newton Heath LYR Football Club by workers at the Lancashire and Yorkshire 1 й Railway Depot . They played in the Football League for the first time in 1892, but were relegated иtwo years later. The club became Manchester United in 1902,р when a group of local businessmen took over. It was then that they adopted the red shirt for which United would оbecome known. The new club won theirт first league championships under Ernest Mangnall in 1908 and 1911, adding their first FA Cup in 1909. Mangnall left toи join Manchester City in 1911, however, and there would зbe no more major honours until after the Second World War. In that timeо United had three different spells in Division Two, beforeп promotion in 1938 led to an extended spell in the top flight. The key to that was the appointment of the visionary Matt еBusby in 1945. Busby reshaped the club, placing Рcomplete faith in a youth policy that would prove astonishingly successful.

  • “Music for Remembering: Words and Images of Mass Death and Disaster” by Joseph Scanlon, Professor Emeritus and Director
    “Music for Remembering: Words and Images of Mass Death and Disaster” By Joseph Scanlon, Professor Emeritus and Director, Emergency Communications Research Unit (ECRU), Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada On Wednesday, July 24, 2013, an estimated 95,000 spectators at the cricket ground in Melbourne, Australia stood up to sing, “You’ll never walk alone,” the song of visiting Liverpool. Written in 1945 by Rodgers and Hammerstein for “Carousel,” it was adopted by Liverpool in 1965 after manager Bill Shankly heard the version by Liverpool’s Gerry & the Pacemakers1. Liverpool’s other football song, “Fields of Anfield,” had words added after a crowd crush incident in Sheffield in 1989 killed 96 Liverpool supporters and injured 766: Outside the Hillsborough flame I saw a young boy mourning Why were so many taken on that day? It’s not the only song with words added after a tragedy. Bob Dylan gave permission to have words added to “Knockin’ on Heavens’ Door” from the 1973 film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid after the massacre of 16 children and a teacher in Dunblane, Scotland on March 13, 1996. It’s also not the only song about a football tragedy. Matt McGinn’s “The Ibrox Disaster,” tells when 66 died on stairwell 13 at Ibrox stadium in Glasgow near the end of a Ranger-Celtic match on January 2, 1951; and “The Flowers of Manchester,” tells of the February 6, 1958 Munich air crash when eight Manchester United players were among 23 killed. “Fix You” by Coldplay was sung by Tamzen Edwards over visuals showing someone trapped behind the wire fence at Hillsborough and someone trying in vain to resuscitate one of the 96 who died.

  • The Commemorative Activity at The
    The Commemorative Activity at the Grave of Munich Air Disaster Victim, Duncan Edwards: A Social and Cultural Analysis of the Commemorative Networks of a Local Sporting Hero by Gayle Rogers A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire July 2017 ABSTRACT The Commemorative Activity at the Grave of Munich Air Disaster Victim, Duncan Edwards: A Social and Cultural Analysis of the Commemorative Networks of a Local Sporting Hero The Munich Air Disaster claimed the lives of 23 people in a plane crash in Munich in 1958. It is a significant event within modern England’s cultural history as a number of Manchester United footballers, known as the Busby Babes were amongst the dead. The players who died have continued to be extensively commemorated, especially Duncan Edwards. This research considers the commemorative activity associated with Edwards since his death and was initiated when the researcher pondered the extensive commemorative activity by strangers that she encountered at the family grave of her cousin Edwards. The commemoration of the Disaster and of Edwards has been persistent and various with new acts of commemoration continuing conspicuously even after fifty years since the event. Such unique activity particularly demonstrated at Edwards’ grave was considered worthy of further investigation to ascertain why such activity was occurring at such a volume. Although general historical and biographical accounts of the Disaster and Edwards are apparent, specific research concerning the commemoration of the event was not evident. The researcher set out to identify who the commemorators were, why they were undertaking dedicatory acts and what those acts manifest as.
