Duncan Edwards (1 October 1936 – 21 February 1958) was an English footballer who played for Manchester United and the England national team. He played 151 matches as one of the Busby Babes, the young United team formed under manager Matt Busby in the mid-1950s. Born in Woodside, Dudley, Worcestershire, Edwards signed for Manchester United as a teenager and went on to become the youngest player to play in the Football League First Division. As the youngest England player since the Second World War, he played 18 times for his country at top level. In a professional career of less than five years he helped United win two Football League championships and two FA Charity Shields, and reached the semi-finals of the European Cup. He was one of eight United players who died as a result of the Munich air disaster; he survived initially but succumbed to his injuries in hospital two weeks later.
