The man was a legend, it is well worth having a look at his wiki entry to get the full story .. a 'breed' that is probably going extinct .. R I P

Any football mad kid from the 1950s would have Billy foulkes etched in their memory. It was Billy & Harry greg who were paramount in the rebuilding of the united team in the weeks following the munich tragedy RIP Billy Foulkes a fine full back , centre half & true club legend .

I remember feeling so pleased for him when Man Utd won the European Cup in 1968.

He and Harry Gregg both displayed great personal courage in the aftermath of the Munich Air Disaster by all accounts.

RIP

that semi-final goal is on here at 13.40 mins

Wonderful old film. Interesting to see how the press are on the pitch before and even during the game. The replay graphic puts Sky to shame

Took me back to the radio commentaries and I think then trying to catch it on Sports Review later on or even at the local cinema on Pathe News.....As with LenGlover above....the 68 Wembley Final is still one of best memories. RIP big Bill.
