Great player.

Well ... he were alreet. For a Streford type.

Yeah, a few had him on the list for this year.

 

RIP Sir Bobby, 

Great player and a great & humble man. 

Sad news.

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.

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

RIP to a football legend.

Yep, this

Proper gentleman

One of those who crosses all club rivalries

RIP to a genuine legend of the game

He was clearly gutted when Nat died so thought him alright after that. RIP Bobby. 

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

He certainly has a claim to be regarded as England's best ever.... R. I. P. 

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 

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.

I guess (yet) another minute's silence upcoming then.

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. 

R I P Sir Bobby Charlton a true gentleman and. a great footballer

Despite being a Manc I can only say RIP

RIP to one of the greatest.

But not the greatest, which I guess still sits with Stanley Matthews?
