#2 Red Flag Flying High

United’s flag is deepest redIt shrouded all our Munich deadBefore their limbs grew stiff and coldTheir heart’s blood dyed it’s ev’ry foldThen raise United’s banner highBeneath it’s shade we’ll live and dieSo keep the faith and never fear We’ll keep the Red Flag flying hereWe’ll never die, we’ll never dieWe’ll never die, we’ll never dieWe’ll keep the Red flag flying high‘Cos Man United will never die
This chant is undoubtedly the most emotional of all the Manchester United football chants. It was first sung in 1958 in honour of the six great Manchester United players that perished during the tragic plane crash in Munich. The six players were gone but not forgotten and the song is sung every February in memory of the dead. The chant is also a reminder of the Manchester United supporters’ undying faith in their club. Just this February a big banner with the words “We’ll Never Die” was unveiled at Old Trafford.
