Munich
Bobby Charlton, breaking almost half-a-century of silence about the 1958 Munich air crash, says the disaster still haunts him every day of his life.
Charlton, now 69, was 20 at the time of the disaster on Feb. 6 1958 that cost the lives of 23 people including eight of his Manchester United team mates.
'You know, you feel a bit guilty. I do feel guilty even now. I think about it every day of my life,' said the attack-minded midfielder, who played 106 times for England and is still the country's all-time record international scorer with 49 goals.
