A letter written to a supporter from the mother of David Pegg shortly after the Munich disaster accompanied by a Manchester United postcard, an individual picture of the great player and a picture taken from a periodical signed by David Pegg in pen across his image  with the letter thanking the young disabled fan for their patience following their letter to her son requesting a signed photograph. The letter is hand written on the back of the original written request in blue ink and it was originally fixed in a scrap book and there is cellotape from that time still attached and the document has been folded.  Possibly one of the most poignant of football related correspondence you could possibly imagine, the original request from the father was sent to the Pegg household nr Doncaster on December 18th 1957 and seemingly down to the sheer number of such requests was still not answered by that fateful day on February 6th 1958 when he lost his life on the runway at Munich, the youngest to lose his life of the 23 members of the Reds party, one of the saddest days in the history of the game, a message spelt very clearly as Jesse, his mother, signs it as "David's sorrowful Mother", wishing that the child "hurries up and gets better", a selfless thought at a time of great personal tragedy.  Mrs Pegg passed away in 2006.
