England and Switzerland players will have a minute silence as part of showing their tribute to the victims of Munich tragedy, before they take on each other in a friendly match at the Wembley stadium on 6 February. On the same day of 1958, a plane crash took away 23 lives including eight Manchester Untied players and some officials with several got severely injured.

The day England and Switzerland face each other will see 50^th anniversary of the Munich plane crash. So, ahead of the match, FA has already taken some initiative in order to show honor to those who lost their lives on the accident. England players will be wearing black arm band showing their grief on the occasion. FA has also received the permission from Manchester United over the plan.

Soccernet reported:

FA director of communications Adrian Bevington said he was confident fans of all clubs would respect the silence.

Bevington said: ``We will be having a minute's silence in respect of Munich at the England v Switzerland game.

``We believe very strongly that this should be and will be respected and that there's a feeling across the whole country that a minute's silence is the best and most appropriate way to remember everybody who lost their lives in the tragedy.''

It is a good way to show the tribute to those who lost their lives on that air crash. No doubt, it is one of most memorable tragedies involved in the history of football. We also pay our tribute and respect to those who lost their lives in that tragedy.
