Bobby Charlton RIP

A bloke who deserved the tag:

One the true greats of the game.

Fly high Sir Bobby

Not many better English players I've seen in the position he played. Only Geoff Hurst remaining now from the 66 World Cup winning side.

Wonderful footballer and gentleman. Not so great in the management role. Saw him play against us at Old Trafford in '66 (first away match) with that wonderful MUFC side. His goals in the '66 World Cup competition and against Benfica in the European Cup Final are the stuff of football legend. Bobby's brother is a Rotherham fan and sits in the West Stand. The likeness is extraordinary!

RIP Bobby.

Feels like a member of my family has passed. Sir Bobby was my football idol growing up. I still have the only football annual I ever owned -

the FA Book for Boys 1961/2, which featured an article on Bobby Charlton. At that time we were stalwarts in the second division, and this was

only four years before we entertained Man U in one of the greatest FA cup ties ever played at Millmoor.

He personified everything that was good about English football during his outstanding career, and he was one of the few names with a

worldwide reputation before the age of the internet. He was on a par with Pele.

So, so sad. RIP Sir Bobby.

Yes, went to the replay and was awestruck by their players. In the days when Man U fans mingled with us. Woman Man U fan took a shine to me I was about 5 years old) and got me George Bests autograph but it was Bobby Charlton who I just stared at the whole of the game. Glad he made up with Jackie before it was too late. As they say, they don’t make em like that today. Fabulous footballer, humble human being and a gent to the end.
