Seeing Charlie's post remembering the Munich Air Disaster of 6th February 1958, I was reminded of the Torino FC team that perished in a plane crash on 4th May 1949.

I thought this was gonna be about Rachael Blackmore retiring from horse racing. She is indeed an Irish sports legend.

Hope she enjoys her retirement, a great ambassador for Ireland.
