Dudley Council are supporting the Duncan Edwards Tribute and we will be working with Richard Lewis (Senior Archivist) to curate an Exhibition at Dudley Archives and Local History Centre for three months from January to March 2018 as part of our programme of events and activities. Duncan Edwards came from a working class background in the heart of the industrial Black Country to play for Manchester United and represent England as an international player at every level of professional football. This Exhibition will tell his story – from Black Country Boy to Red Devil Included in the exhibition will be posters, artwork, photographs, artefacts, ephemera, football programmes, magazines, memorabilia, press cuttings and personal correspondence relating the life and career of Duncan Edwards.
