What Time's Kick Off?

Writer: Gayle RogersGayle Rogers

To mark the anniversary of the the Munich Air Disaster I am releasing a short video to share some of my graphic novel in progress that considers the commemoration of Busby Babe Duncan Edwards.


This is a very personal and family focused project for me and one that has love and loss at its very centre.

A square image of a cartoon-like drawing by Gayle Rogers. The Background is a blurry autumnal toned rendition of a streetscape with a black and white rendition of a footballer statue from behind. The player has a no. 6 on their back and their right leg raised to kick the ball at their feet.

The video will launch over on the Workers Gallery YouTube Channel ahead of the anniversary of the crash 6th February 2025 :

It is a difficult day for everyone adversely affected by the crash - especially the families of the victims. I hope that my work preserves the memories of the survivors and those lost with love and respect.
