Remembering Duncan Edwards 68 years on from his passing... #MUFC #ManchesterUnited #Football
Duncan Edwards would have probably been the captain in 1966 instead of Bobby Moore.
Gayle is creating a graphic novel about his commemoration based on her PhD and shared memories from family, friends and fans. youtu.be/mKeBboKk2EY?...

Book being held on the left with just a thumb visible. Book is in an acid orange with a central portrait photo in black and white with 3 similar portraits below in a horizontal row. Large black blocky text at top says Kathy Burke. Smaller white text below it says a mind of my own.
Really enjoyed being immersed in Kathy Burke's world of family & friends, taxi drivers, theatre, TV & film folks.
It's a written with a unique voice that you don't often get a chance to hear above all the pompous chatter.
