My name is actually Finlay Edwards and I’m a relative of Duncan I’m from Scotland and my dads from Manchester his dad (my grandpa) Duncan was his second cousin before every one says ‘fake’ or ‘keep dreaming kid’ this is a genuine relative there’s pictures of him in my gran and grandpas house proving my point.
I wish I could remember where I found it, but about thirty years ago I found a brilliant article that starts with one of the journalists saying "I'm not getting on that plane." The premise is that it triggers everyone refusing to board. The upshot is Utd forfeits two points against Wolves, which causes huge controversy of course, and also virtually gifts the title to Stan Cullis's men, but more importantly, Munich never happens. I can only remember bits, like Geoff Bent is signed by Everton before the end of the season and goes on to be a key man in their '63 title winners. Tommy Taylor leaves Old Trafford in 1961 as Alf Ramsey sees him as the key to Ipswich's promotion push. He captains the '62 title winners and becomes a legend at Middlesbrough where he delivers their only ever First Division title in 1975 as boss. In the 21st century, they play in the Tommy Taylor stadium. Duncan Edwards so impresses Milan in the 58 European semi-finals that they offer him a king's ransom. He signs and spends three years in Italy before being lured back by Bill Nicholson to join Spurs in the summer of 1961. Edwards plays in the 1966 World cup final [but instead of Nobby Stiles, not Bobby Moore] The defeat to Scotland in 1967 is his last cap. He follows Denis Viollet to the states in 1968, but returns in the 70s to become assistant boss to Tommy Docherty at Old Trafford. Edwards is briefly named boss in 1977/78 but it doesn't work out and he steps back into the coaching staff after two underwhelming seasons.
