Rooneys "testimonial'

[upthecolliers]

He (Charlton) did play against far inferior opposition. Again im not criticizing but adding balance.

Sir Bobby scored hatricks in the 8-0 romp of Mexico, 8-1 romp of USA, 8-1 romp of Switzerland amongst other routs where he scored once in the 10 nil win against USA on the eve of the 66 w/c. Ok far bigger nations than the ones you mentioned but at that time they were evidently as shyte as san Marino, Andorra etc

Although Charlton wore the No 9 shirt in most of his games, he was never a striker he was a midfielder or when he first played for England he played on the wing a certain Tommy Taylor owned the No9 shirt who scored something like 18 goals in 20 starts nar he was world class.

Aye Tommy definitely has a fantastic goalscoring record at international level , no doubt about that colliers , tragic isn't it when you think how good those Busby Babes were at that time .

I reckon Duncan Edwards would have gone on to be the very best England player of all time from what I've read about the lad , he would have just come in to his prime around 1966 I reckon .

It's such a shame there's very little on film to look back on during that era .

Unbelievable record pass , under enormous pressure from the football league to get back home and fulfill their fixture on the saturday against Wolves .

The football league were dead against them competing in the European Cup and Busby wasn't having it , he had vision and the football league thought it was just a maverick competition .

That plane should never have attempted to take off after the aborted attempts .

Absolutely tragic and avoidable .

I've more time for Brighton's Glenn Murray who at 35 years of age is playing the best football of his career and came up the hard way .

He's got the absolute max out of his ability through sheer hard work and a top class professional attitude .

Maybe he should play for England against the USA as an advertisement for what you can achieve if you have the right work ethic .

Drawing the home team on FA Cup 2nd round draw
Away to Southend or Crawley
