Derrota minima
Minima, ma derrota. Il tepore della Costa Azzurra assopisce l'XI madridista. Visioni di mare, cieli tersi e bikini di attrici famose negli occhi di Puskas e compagni; dopo il due a zero mollano gli ormeggi e il piccolissimo Nizza, che l'anno precedente aveva ottenuto il suo quarto e ultimo titolo di Francia, mette le ali al proprio entusiasmo e confeziona una rimonta fantastica. Tre a due, tre gol di un lussemburghese: Victor Nurenberg (foto).
Max ArthurThe Busby Babes: Men of Magic
Edinburgh, Mainstream Publ., 1998 (prima ed.), 2008 (seconda ed.)
On 6 February 1958, a plane took off from a snowy Munich airport carrying probably the finest club side the world has ever known. Moments later, the aircraft crashed, killing some of the most legendary names in British football. This book is dedicated to those players - Roger Byrne, Tommy Taylor, the mighty Duncan Edwards and the others whose lives were cut off in their prime - and their indomitable manager, Sir Matt Busby.
Max Arthur has sought out all the players who survived the crash and spoken to the relatives and friends of those who died. From these interviews, sometimes serious but often humorous, he has captured their remarkable spirit and created a unique portrait of all the Busby Babes.
