Whitestar Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Yeah, not sure if Bobby Charlton is on his last legs too. He never went to jacks funeral in the summer due to poor health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boby Brno Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 RIP Nobby. I’ll never forget him dancing around Wembley with the World Cup minus his two front teeth. One of the 12 Legends of English football. (Nat’s the 12th) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulhanley Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Nobby had the most Manc accent you could imagine. Did us proud in 1966. This is a good interview with him on Test Match Special's "A view from the boundary" in 1997 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p08h7wcn RIP.

dusan nikolic Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 R.I.P Nobby , another one of the legendary team gone .

Dr Faustus Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Was it nobby who had to flog said medals just to keep a roof over his head? Certainly remember him doing the rounds during schoolboy football days, well respected - and coming from a red household, well loved.

JimmyRiddle Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 That TMS broadcast is really interesting, he was a proper Manc. Who knew contact lenses existed in the 60s too?? Rip Nobby, he seemed such a grounded fella given what he achieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
