    Titled United – The Busby Babes And The Munich Air Crash, the film will follow Manager Matt Busby and his assistant Jimmy Murphy as they build the gifted team that became the youngest club to win the English football league in the mid 50′s before tragedy struck in Munich when eight of their star players died in a plane crash in February 1958. Just over half of the 44 passengers (including coaches, journalists, etc) were killed.



    Saw trailer, looks great.

    It's a must watch, players were the best there was at the time, RIP Sad

    Although, Busbys family not happy with it because the way he is being portrayed and they didn't get their permission, something like that.

    It's a drama not a documentary as well Neutral

    Son + survivor of the crash are furious at how bad they think this is.

    Apparently Matt Busby looks more like a gangster than a manager.

    The guy playing Busby think he's Robert DeNiro, or maybe Busby was actually like that?

    Mr Busby said: "I can't understand it, it's
    called United, all about the Busby Babes. You think they'd contact the
    Busby family wouldn't you?

    "I was disgusted with the portrayal of my father. He had this camel coat on, and a fedora, and all ...through
    the film he was never seen in a tracksuit. He was known as probably the
    first tracksuit manager at that time. I was disgusted."

    He said there were some terrible "stupid accusations" in the 90-minute film, and some omissions.

    "Why
    didn't they include other players that died and were injured in the
    crash? If I was one of their family I would be very upset.

    "There
    was about eight players never mentioned. They never mentioned Tom
    Curry, who was a trainer at the time. He was the trainer in the dressing
    room, he was like a second dad to the lads."

    Seems like they don't like it at all.

    Films like this are never rated though.


    The Damned United is a shit film too. Out of all the successes in Brian Clough's career, they chose his 44 days at Leeds to do a film on. Ex Players from Leeds and his family have complained and tried suing it though.
