NEVER in the history of the game has one life brought both joy and
tragedy in such huge measures. Duncan Edwards was the jewel in the
crown of the Busby Babes, an all-time legend at just 21, who was
denied the chance to achieve even greater footballing success by
the Munich Air Disaster in 1958. This fascinating new biography,
with support from friends and relatives, includes rare and unseen
pictures and tells the story of the boy who left his home in Dudley
to earn his Manchester United debut at the age of 16 – and made
such an impression that he was an England international at 18. The
most forensic account of this remarkable life and career includes
new interviews, as well as contributions from icons of United and
the wider English game – plus quotes from Edwards himself. He
packed so much into a short career, collecting 18 caps, winning the
First Division title twice, and helping Matt Busby’s team take
their first steps in European football, but it was an all-round
game that had no weakness that impressed most. Team-mate Bobby
Charlton summed Edwards up best: “Sentiment can throw a man’s
judgement out of perspective. Yet it is not the case with him. A
few are great, and deserve respect. But Duncan Edwards was the
greatest.” ‘Eternal’ is the complete story of an
extraordinary footballer, whose influence on Manchester United and
the success that followed can still be felt today.
