8 players died. Edit: That's not to say the survivors were the regular starters, I have no idea. So you're saying, all but 3. Great! We agree. Iirc, Bobby Charlton and their keeper were the first-team survivors that were well enough to play soon after. If you had to pick one player to survive mostly unscathed, Bobby Charlton would probably be the one. I edit to make sure you don't think I am attacking. You edit with that? Wiki lists 9 surviving players. So no, we don't agree. What are we disagreeing on? The tediously, irrelevant to my overall point semantic fact that I didn't clarify all but 3 starters died rather than all but 3 players in their entire club organization from the u-11 boys team to the senior squad? I posted a simple note, just to put a little context around the scale of it, nothing more. You then sniped back with a remark of "11-8=3", which is obviously an oversimplification. Quit being a dick.
