Duncan Edwards Teammates & Opponents On His Ability
” (the most) complete footballer in Britain — possibly the world.” — Sir Matt Busby
“He was Roy Keane and Bryan Robson combined, but in a bigger body. He could play as an attacker, creator or defender and be the best player on the pitch… He was world class when United had the ball, and when the opposition has the ball he was our best defender.” — Wilf McGuinness, Edwards’ team-mate at United, and future United manager
“You don’t hear many professionals talk lightly of greatness because it is so rare, but that is what I saw in Duncan Edwards the first time I set eyes on him. He reached the same fabulous standard at left-half, centre-half, inside-left and centre-forward. He is the kind of player managers dream about.” — Don Revie
“There is no doubt in my mind that Duncan would have become the greatest player ever. Not just in British football, with United and England, but the best in the world. George Best was something special, as was Pele and Maradona, but in my mind Duncan was much better in terms of all-round ability and skill.” — Tommy Docherty, former Manchester United manager, and Edwards’ opponent during his England debut in 1955
"He would have been only twenty-one- he played like a man- almost a demon.
Two Wonderful accurate feet and his running with the ball and bringing the ball through the midfield was an awe-inspiring sight.
He was exceptionally quick for such a big lad and really took some stopping and tackling.
When he tackled it was like being hit by a sherman tank." Sir Bobby Robson
"Combine the ability of Eric Cantona, and the strength and application of Roy Keane, with the Distribution of Glen Hoddle and the temperament of Paul Scholes, and you are somewhere near to the sort of player Duncan Edwards was.
Younger readers may well think that to be somewhat of an exaggeration, but, believe me, Duncan Edwards was that good." Jimmy Greaves
“Ask me who is the greatest footballer the world has ever seen. Ask me who is the greatest footballer I ever played with. Ask me who is the greatest footballer I ever played against. Same answer: Duncan Edwards. Don’t ask me how much greater he would have become. It defies imagination. What’s bigger than a colossus? Think about that. Then remember that I played not only with George and Denis but with Bobby Moore. That I played against Pele. They were truly great, but Duncan was the greatest.” — Sir Bobby Charlton
