Reader Reviews:A wonderful tribute to a fantastic team (5/5 people found this helpful)In his remarkable tribute to Sir Matt Busby's first team of Busby Babes, Max Arthur skilfully interweaves memories of that great team with the personal, poignant and often highly moving testimonies of the players who survived the Munich crash. Taking on the perspectives of the survivors and also profiling players such as Tommy Taylor, Duncan Edwards, Eddie Colman and the others who perished, the book provides an all round, complete view of what many consider the greatest Manchester United team ever. I have read Max Arthur's Forgotten Voices series and he brings to this book the same skills, empathy and deftness of touch employed before, providing an emotionally charged and worthy memorial to that fantastic but tragically short lived Manchester United team. With forewords by both Sir Alex Ferguson and the late Sir Matt Busby, `Busby Babes - Men of Magic' proves a great testament to the spirit of the Babes.
