’Roger Byrne was morally one of the biggest men I ever met both as a captain and as a person. He was a wonderful captain with the moral fibre to fight the Club’s battle with the players and the players’ battle with the Club. Roger Byrne was very much a man.’

– Sagt av Harry Gregg om Byrne.

’Geoffrey Bent was my personal friend and was always recognized within the club as probably the best player who could not get into the first team. He could not nudge out Roger Byrne, the best left back in the country, but would have walked into any other First Division team.’

– Sagt av Jimmy Greaves om Bent.

’Eddie Colman was one of those people you cannot say enough about. Wherever he was there was fun. I have never met before or since anyone with a bigger personality. It shone out of him. Eddie was one of the most underated players, but he was a creator, an artist, and would have been one of the game’s greats without the shadow of a doubt.’

– Sagt av Wilf McGuinness om Colman.

’Mark Jones was a very solid character. He was my idol as a centre half, big, very b and commanding in the air. He once told me he wished he could do things like me, ‘’in cold blood’’. A nice fellow and a fine player.

– Sagt av Bill Foulkes om Jones.

’Duncan Edwards was a man in football but still a boy at heart. His ability was good enough for England but his potential was good enough for Heaven.’

– Sagt av Jackie Blanchflower om Edwards.

’Tommy Taylor was the finest h4 of a ball I’ve seen. He suffered a lot from a bad ankle and took a lot of stick from the fans, but as far the lads were concerned he was terrific. A player’s player and a great person.’

– Sagt av Dennis Viollet om Taylor.

’David Pegg was the complete left winger, a brilliant ball player. Whichever of us was in the first team would be shunned by the other, but this was rivalry, not bitterness. David was one of the boys, always someone to be respected, and if he ever got there first, as he did with me, it was very difficult to shift him.’

– Sagt av Albert Scanlon om Pegg.

«Liam Whelan was a great player. He had everything except an extra bit of pace. When I got into the side it was at Liam’s expense but he would have been back because he was a dedicated professional with a tremendous amount of skill»

– Sagt av Sir Bobby Charlton om Whelan.
