    Its not the time for tit for tat rubbish. Fair play to both of the clubs. Frank Swift who was a former City player and then a journalist lost his life in that crash and the great Sit Mat Busby was a former Liverpool player. Its been said in many books on Bill Shankly that it was him who advised Shankly to manage Liverpool, then a second division side, after he finished his playing career with Huddersfield.
    RIP Busby Babes. Keep the red flag flying high
