manxman1980 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 What a true legend Sir Bobby was. A ggreat footballer, a modest man and with such a lifelong dedication to Manchester United. To have lost so many friends and colleagues in Munich but to return and eventually win the European Cup is a sad but wonderful story. In one way his passing will have been a blessing given that he was suffering with dementia in the last few years. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/oct/21/sir-bobby-charlton-manchester-united-legend-world-cup-winner-england-dies 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majkul Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 The word legend was invented for people like Sir Bobby Charlton. But above everything else, he was a true gentleman. May he rest in peace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 This was my favourite that they dug out over the weekend. Young Bobby just beating his mum in the air to a cross from Jack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
