Interesting, I'd never heard of this accident which was as bad as Munich:

There's a book about it called "The Day Italian Football Died". Published years ago but I think it has been reprinted. Reportedly an interesting read.

Was vaguely aware of it, so thanks for posting the link Bristol. Fascinating story - especially about the English coach's previous near misses.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

If you download the Golazzo podcast they do an episode of Grande Torino quite early on
