cordshoes Sir Bobby. Spent my first game at Leeds road holding a picture of him, and just looking at him on the pitch.
CharlieG RIP Wor Bobby. Despite the colour of his shirt, he seemed like a nice bloke. Now that's a legend.
90Piesanhour Both Charltons can now spend eternity playing attack and defence, probably on a cobbled street...
Flaneur Proper legend. Could hit a ball amazingly when they were literally bricks. Survived a plane crash and won a European Cup. Not seen a bad word wrote about him on various fora. Who's left out of that '66 squad now? Hurst and Cally?
Mega_Armageddon_Chickens As a kid I was told he resigned as manager of PNE after the directors sold John Bird to Newcastle behind his back. Managers don't do that sort of thing anymore.
Travis_Bickle king_of_the_slums up there with Blade, Dondi, Seen and Iz The Wiz as a genuine pioneer. Tributes over there already....
white_dragon RIP Bobby Charlton. Great player and fantastic ball striker. Probably the most famous English player in world, in his time. Yes, survived the crash and what a performance in the 68 final and certainly did his bit in 66.
Raposa For many years Bobby Charlton was English football. The biggest icon of his era and synonymous with everything that was good about the game. Sad news indeed. RIP
