John Ludden A POSTCARD FROM THE NOU CAMP 26/5/99: Dancing with Tears in Red

The following is a simple postcard from the tumultuous, magical events of Wednesday 26 May 1999. Scattered pictures still existing in Manchester United supporters minds of when the Treble became a reality. Three minutes lost in time as United produced a comeback, J. K Rowling would have thought too farfetched to put in a Harry Potter novel. After telling of the Munich Air Crash and the 1968 European Cup final, we move forward thirty one years to 1999. And the miracle of Barcelona. From there, Dancing with Tears in Red Eyes. The last section of the book where people tell in snapshots their own personal memories of what actually happened twentyfive years ago under those black Catalan skies in the Nou Camp. They range from the outrageous to the very emotional. Memories of loved ones no longer around, but they danced and cheered loud when Ole struck and the Manchester United world turned on its very axis. Football, bloody hell! claimed Sir Alex, which is true. But that evening on Sir Matt Busbys 90th birthday was so much more to so many people. I hope you enjoy as we go back now and relive 26/5/99. | John Ludden A POSTCARD FROM THE NOU CAMP 26/5/99: Dancing with Tears in Red
