  • Date: 30 April 1994 Opposition: Norwich City
    British Soccer Wk Sunday Times 30 Date: 30 April 1994 April Observer Opposition: Norwich CIty 1994 Competition: League BRITISH SOCCER WEEK Canaries spoil Kop farewell The last goal scored under Liverpool's Spion Kop was a strike worthy of the occasion - but it came from a player in the wrong coloured shirt. Jeremy Goss drilled a fine shot into the top right-hand corner of the Kop end net after Liverpool only half-cleared a 35th minute free-kick from Ian Crook. Norwich had clearly not read the script of this historic Anfield occasion and always looked the more likely scorers with their quick, incisive football on the break. Steve Nicol had seen his attempted clearance from Efan Ekoku's cross rebound off the underside of the bar and somehow stay out after 15 minutes of a first half dominated by the visitors. David James twice had to race out of his area to clear, once with a diving header from Ekoku and more conventionally with his boot from Chris Sutton. Sutton saw a snap-shot dip over the bar and James made a fine reaction save as Sutton met Ekoku's header with a sweet low volley. Jamie Redknapp shot wide from a tight angle for Liverpool and Robbie Fowler glanced a header wide after fine work from John Barnes, but Norwich keeper Bryan Gunn did not have a save to make in the first 45 minutes. After the break, with Liverpool attacking the Kop end for the last time, by prior arrangement with Norwich, veteran Ronnie Whelan volleyed over from close range.

  • 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.
