Site Supporter Popular Post Biggish Dave Posted October 21, 2023 Site Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyrotten Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Aldo Raine Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Zico Posted October 21, 2023 Moderators Share Posted October 21, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nottm_Wanderer Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he reckoned it was.

Members bolty58 Posted October 22, 2023 Members Share Posted October 22, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First and probably last time he’d been asked to man mark, suppose that’s why Ramsey was a managerial legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
