The Man U team plane crashed in Winter 1958 attempting to take off from Munich. After two aborted attempts it couldn't make speed in the slush and crashed into a house. 23 died. Spared was the great Bobby Charlton who as England's captain hoisted the World Cup in 1966.

Other crashes involving teams were the Cal Poly football crash, Marshall U football and Evansville and Oklahoma State men's hoops.

Has Nygaard clarified her comment?

I took it out of context, perhaps. There has not been any outrage or calls for her to clarify it. Frankly I would just have left that sentence out when I brought the quote here if I'd known Manchester United players died.
