The greatest English midfielder ever.

The greatest English club ever.

The greatest.

**Edmond** · 21-10-2023, 10:40 PM

RIP

Of course he will mainly be remembered for 'that goal'.

The one he scored for Waterford United in the League of Ireland.

While there were some other minor career achievements, he can and will always be remembered for making it into the level of the League of Ireland first division.

Kathy a few weeks ago, Bobby today. Sir Alex's brother will be looking over his shoulder Final Destination-esque.

Sharp as whatever the opposite of an MM is, Lu.

That tea is doing you do end of good.

He did have a gift for perennially looking 60 years old.

At 20, 60.
At 40, 60.
At 80, 60.

His name will forever be ingrained on generations of taxi drivers the world over before the Internet.

"You Eengleesh? Queen Eleezabeth! Bobeee Charlton! Feesh and cheeps! Luvvly jubbly."

I think a month off the wagon is appropriate mourning Hal.

You've never had my company. You know if you had you'd not have got yourself in that pension predicament.

Apart from being an outstanding football player of his generation, he became the epitome of fair play and gentlemanly conduct for that generation. I had the good fortune of watching him play in the mid 60's, as a youngster paying my (I think at the time) around 1 shilling and 6 pence into Old Trafford. That team, with Denis Law, George Best, Nobby Stiles, David Herd, Bill Foulkes etc, were tremedous, but nothing could put a gasp in anyone's mouth as Bobby Charlton 30 yards out and pulling his foot back to strike.

An era gone, but I believe the most globally respected footballer ever, not just for his skill, but for the way he conducted himself. Going to be interesting the next few days reading the tributes.

**malmomike77** · 21-10-2023, 11:24 PM

^ agreed. Paul Merson ran him a close second.

True that, but I reckon Northern Rock could give me financial advice.

Just discussing 6 weeks in South America from June at this very moment, funnily enough.

You can't take it with you, mate.

Great post, PAG. I think you must be about the same age as my dad. You may well have bumped into each other on the Stretford
End.

He's never had any time for Best, despite his genius, because he says he let United and others down too often.

However, he does say he was the best footballer he's ever seen.

Charlton he likes because he was establishment and tried to help Best, but he normally just says he was a great player.

1968 the first English team to win the European Cup (ten years after Munich wiped our club out):

The Greatest Club in the World.

Nobody, but nobody, has ever represented English football internationally over the the last 50 to 60 years than Bobby Charlton. An outstanding icon of the English game of football. An ambassador of the sport beyond peer. RIP Sir Bobby.

Another great post, PAG.

I'd go as far to say England as a whole too (see my taxi driver post above).

And always with such decorum.

Does your Mrs just follow you round like a lap dog or do you use her to translate manc to English for you

R.I.P Mr Manchester United, last of the Busby Babes and one of only 9 players to win the Ballon D'or, European and World Cup.

A true lapdog.

She sits there and waits for me until I've nailed your missus while you're out fighting for the SAS.

Until you give up trying to communicate and then she takes over with the English. Fair play, she knows when she's on to a winner.
