in the same position as Bobby Moore, and we'll never know what might have happened in 1966 if he had still been around. He would have been only 29. Perhaps Bobby would have got in the team in another position, because he was a great player, too, but you would never have picked Moore in front of Edwards. Duncan had the edge everywhere, with his remarkable power, pace and strength in the air. Quite simply, Duncan Edwards had the lot. Jimmy Armfield CBE, Blackpool and England captain: I played with Edwards in the Army team, he was a football giant. For my generation of footballers, who knew them all really well, the crash was our Kennedy assassination moment, it captured the nation. Edwards was the best footballer in Britain at the time, a big powerful man, but more than that he was technically gifted and had a great shot - we've not had a player like him in my lifetime. Nat Lofthouse OBE, Bolton Wanderers and England: Even at 19, Duncan was already half the England side.
