DOZENS of people have signed a book of remembrance in honour of Duncan Edwards, which will soon be making its way to Munich.

The book will be handed over as part of a poignant commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the air disaster, which claimed the life of 21-year-old Duncan and and seven other Manchester United players.

Rose Cook-Monk and Andy Monk, who are board members of the newly-formed Duncan Edwards Foundation, will take the book to the German city.

They will fly out on Sunday, February 4 - with around 1,000 Manchester United supporters - and will visit two of the nurses who looked after Duncan at the time of the crash.

They will also witness the opening of a memorial garden on the airfield, which is now disused.

The book will be presented to the minister of the Church of St Peter, near Manchesterplatz - a street near the airport named in honour of the club following the disaster - where it will go on public display.

The book is currently in situ as part of an exhibition celebrating Duncan’s life at Dudley Archives in Tipton Road.

Thirteen pages of signatures, tributes and memories have already been penned – and fans have until January 31 to get along and add theirs if they have not already.

Councillor Dave Tyler, Mayor of Dudley, said: “It’s wonderful to see so many people have already put pen to paper in this book, with some really lovely messages about a player who clearly meant so much to so many.

“I would urge people who want to sign it but haven’t already to get down there in the next week or so. It would be great to see every page full before it goes over to Munich.”
