October 21, 20232 yr Popular Post A real legend in the English game. Sad to see someone who's done so much for our game gone. RIP - regardless of club colour. Some things far more important
October 21, 20232 yr What a player - what a shot on him. I'm not aware of many players at the top level that could score with with shear power from distance, with either left or right foot. And as @Underpants said, what humility, and class off the pitch. RIP.
October 21, 20232 yr I remember watching the full replay of the 1958 Cup final when the DVD was released about ten years ago, and his technique was so far ahead of the rest he looked like a time traveller

October 21, 20232 yr Proper gentleman One of those who crosses all club rivalries RIP to a genuine legend of the game
October 21, 20232 yr He was clearly gutted when Nat died so thought him alright after that. RIP Bobby.
October 21, 20232 yr They read out his career stats on R5 Most impressive And to think he was dragged out of a plane wreck aged 20 that took out most of his team mates
October 21, 20232 yr A gentleman of the game for sure . Apparently he had to man mark Franz Beckenbauer out of the game in the 66 world cup final , a key role in the game . RIP Bobby
October 21, 20232 yr A true football legend, never mind his club affiliation. Gave his all to the game and his country. He'll do for me. RIP Bobby.

Well, he reckoned it was. Sir Bobby Charlton describes the task of man-marking the 'awesome' Franz Beckenbauer - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/41532808 I guess (yet) another minute's silence upcoming then.
October 22, 20232 yr Loved to see the man in an England shirt. West Ham claim the glory behind the 1966 win but it was Bobby Charlton who was the driving force throughout the tournament. Absolute gentleman. I never forget that as a wet behind the ears autograph hunter, stood out in the cold and rain, he would make sure that every single kid got every single photo etc. signed before he headed off whilst other players would sign a few and scarper. This is no time for club rivalries. RIP Sir Bobby. A true great and a true gent.

It’ll be a minute applause in order to drown out the hard-of-thinking who would break a silence; even for this. RIP Sir Bobby.

First and probably last time he’d been asked to man mark, suppose that’s why Ramsey was a managerial legend.
October 22, 20232 yr RIP to one of the greatest. But not the greatest, which I guess still sits with Stanley Matthews?
