His Name Is Death Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62989801 Quote Sir Bobby Charlton, the Manchester United legend who was a key figure in England's 1966 World Cup victory, has died at the age of 86. Charlton won 106 caps for England and scored 49 international goals - records for his country at the time. During a 17-year first-team career with United he won three league titles, a European Cup and an FA Cup. Rest in peace. What a legend and a gentleman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeroy Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Very sad news. Possibly the best player to pull on an England shirt. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 What a player and what a man! He reached the heights of winning the 1966 World Cup and 1968 European Cup, after losing so many of his teammates in 1958. His brother said that the best player that he had seen was "our kid". He was certainly one of the best that I had the pleasure to see and he would have made an all time World XI in my opinion. What a shot he had and what a threat he was as he moved forward towards the penalty area. RIP Bobby! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onmeedson Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Very special player and man, a Legend in the true sense and superb to watch him glide by international defence's to hit a thunderbolt that no one could stop. The only player we had of any semblance was Bruce Rioch who could hit a ball so hard the keeper never saw it coming. R.I.P Sir Bobby take a rest on the bench in the sky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withes_shin Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 One of the things that I noticed whilst watching a lot of the obituaries and his game highlights over the weekend was that it seemed every goal he scored the ball was still rising as it hit the net.
