A Pause...

I have been moved today by the coverage of the fiftieth anniversary of the Munich disaster. Sir Bobby Charlton was on BBC4 on Tuesday night and I made a special effort to tune in. He seemed very emotional.

It reminded me that although football is not as important as life and death, during times such as the experience of the Munich disaster, football allows people to collectively grieve and celebrate their heroes.

All those who died should be respected by all four stands at the weekend.
