Amazing how successful the club is now....

They named a bridge after Billy Whelan in Dublin a number of years ago. Met Harry Gregg in his hotel in Portstewart years ago. He was very nice, but politely yet firmly refused to talk about the crash. I wanted to know what he was thinking about when he went back into the wreckage to rescue others

Also met Sir Matt in 1978. My dad was hosting a reception for the presentation of a specially adapted bus for the local wheelchair association. Matt was the guest speaker. Again, wouldn't talk about the crash

They had probably had enough of talking about it

Real sportsmen then.

It was the opposite Mermaid, they found it too painful to talk about it. In fact, its only in the last few years that Bobby Charlton has opened up.

I worded my comment wrongly, Of course it must have been so painful to talk about.
