Bobby Charlton winning life time achevment award 2008.

[08anderson]

What a standing ovation. He deserved it. Legend.

[welshdragon182]

God, he's fantastic isn't he, just a lovely man and a wonderful talent.

[daedralord1]

holy crap our very own johnny giles

[hilly6920]

No body can say he did not deserve this i mean hes manchester united and englands all time top scorer survived a plane crash won the first european cup manchester united won and has won the only world cup england have won true legend and if he didnt really deserve it im sure a crowd that big in liverpool would have something to say.

[McGahonlawd]

Is that Johnny Giles at 3:30

[grinchstephen]

The words

'His story is the best in football'

Is perfect for Sir Bobby

[spaceman1979]

Why do they let David Beckham speak?

[19dmp88]

Great video but why oh why did u have to put Usher on at the end?

[johnnybiggs32]

@19dmp88 i dont now lol

[mizofan]

Bobby Charlton was the greatest of all English and probably British players, certainly better overall than Best, made much more of his talent.

[lozziboz]

"What a team this is, world cup winners, european cup winners, league winners, legends all. On this stage there is some of the finest footballing talent britain has ever produced"

And Phil Neville

[ThePlo0perS5]

who is the retarded who disliked this?

[Johnpatdaly]

brings a tear to my eye every time i watch this and i get shivers down my back...I love United and everything about it!!!

[colossus1124]

Anyone know the name of the music that was played sir bobby went down their to collect the award ?

[thesurgeon]

@colossus1124 hopipolla by sigur rós (not the original, sounds like it was played live by a band).

[THELASTFUKINTOKE]

BEST FOOTBALLER OF ALL TIME

[360isbest1]

Sir bobby charlton was never booked, what a gentleman. One of the best footballers ever. A great patriotic man. I'd like to shake his hand.

[BeeHeyJude]

I watched the BBC's film of United, and I found it very moving. Bobby Charlton is my favourite ever footballer, and such a genuine man. Impressive. Many a footballer of today could learn many lessons from this wonderful footballer!

[SteveoMagician]

football is fucking shit

[febthemule1]

@SteveoMagician when that happens you finally get a girlfriend

[allymcc1]

@SteveoMagician like your mum in bed, im sure you'd rather sit and play your xbox all day rather than getting out in fresh air and playing sport

[joshwakeman]

look at this man and then compare him to the English players we have now, they have no spirit, no dedication, and no passion to wear the three lions. Bobby Charlton is a true English footballer

[frenchyManUTD1989]

I recommend you watch BBCs United film, it really shows you just how much of a legend this man is. I love you Sir Bobby, thank you for all you have done for our club, may God bless you and keep you. RIP to the Busby Babes and all those who lost their lives on that day, UNITED4EVA!!!!!

[blues4life17]

@frenchyManUTD1989 Yeah just watched it aswell and straight away started to watch videos of his achievements. Very emotional film, Bobby Charlton will live of forever.

R.I.P All the victims of the Munich Air Diaster.

[larousserie]

I'm a gooner, an old one, but to me Bobby Charlton was the best player England and the world ever produced. The word 'legend' is bandied around gratuitously these days but if it ever applied to a football player it applies to him. A true, true great.

[alslevie1986]

A gentleman wouldn't disown his own mother.Gentleman my arse.His own brother hates him.

[danemreg]

its ok to cry.

[frenchyManUTD1989]

one word, LEGEND!!!

[sexysport201]

the greatest ever footballer of all time forget pele he did his league record in a mickey mouse league and lets be fair had the greatest ever team around him. sir Bobby charlton would have got into any side in the world and any world side. George Best could of been the best player ever but didn't play long enough. I am a man utd fan and he is the greatest ever footballer. Thank you sir bobby for the good times.

[m0rningstretch]

franz beckenbaur must of disliked the video

[jamestherisk9]

he is a soccer LEGEND SIR BOBBY CHARLTON

[bowlinshane]

he's my brother....

[colossus1124]

@bowlinshane

You wish

[maguirenumber6]

In tears watching this video. A great player and a great man. A true legend.

[colossus1124]

goosebumps 

[lsmoulton]

The greatest of them all...........

[ExScouserExRN]

Even as a Liverpool fan it's not hard to say he was a true great, honest, loyal and humble. Rooney , Gerrard, Terry, you'll never come close to this fella.

[TibiaNizze]

Its Sir Bobby Charlton

[johnnybiggs32]

@TibiaNizze if read my comments i said sir bobby ok

[windows98sucks]

the english are lucky to have this legend to look up too. australia havent really had anyone who has made such an impact

[2BarKawi]

Special.

[torjansons]

My boyhood hero and a true inspiration through out my life. I hope we will see his like

Again but I very much doubt it.

[Comprtonworst]

What annoys me is he never talked about with the greats. This is one of the greatest players ever. Please name someone who could hit a ball better than him.

[benjesus19]

INGLIS:

BOBY CHARLTON IS A BIG LEGEND

SPANISH::

BOBY CHARLTON ES UNA GRAN LEYENDA

[Blaze24swamp]

hmmm one person dislike this video.. must be a manchester city fan.

[MrJasonrolfe]

thumbs up to one of the best players football has ever seen

[jwnrtj]

This was the greatest tribute of Charlton's career; not so much the award itself but the warmth and the love from the crowd. This was a Liverpool crowd, not just applauding but cheering. I defy any United fan to keep a dry eye.

[mrorange101]

its such a pity that current footballers cant act with such grace and humility cant think of a single player today that you could utter in the same breath as bobby both as a player and a man a tru gentleman of the game and there will never be another like him.

[Walbilly]

We always believed he's the english Pelé. A true maestro, forever.

[Walbilly]

We always believed he is the english Pelé. A true maestro, forever.

[joemcm1]

a great for sure-hes mentioned in this years world cup song-zx84 englands hall of fame

[giveusatenner]

legend

[starryian007]

Sir Bobby Charlton is everything that is pure, wholesome and decent in the British game. A truly great player, leader and inspiration to those that followed. May he have many more glorious years as Director and ambassador at Manchester United.

From a Liverpool fan

[mrmrscosanostra]

@starryian007 . wow!! a scouser being nice to a manc legend??. what is the world coming to?

[Blaze24swamp]

@mrmrscosanostra

hey its a sport and they are footballers, and thats what they have in common,

[spreadthelove77]

Bang-on, had a bit of a tear in my eye when i saw Big Jack pay his tribute to his brother. Touching and richly deserved.

[Barlini73]

It's fantastic when Jack says the best footballer ever ( slight pause ) me brother ,, very emotional..

[2BarKawi]

That was emotional, just seeing him holding the tears back.

Bobby Charlton, you legend.

[spreadthelove77]

Sir Bobby epitomises everything that is wonderful about our Beautiful Game. A gentleman of all gentlemen and so very modest. Such a cliche, but there truly will never be another just like him on and off the field. Well done Sir, thanks for everything.

[thrillamf]

Best footballer ever? He was good but nowhere near as good as Pele, Maradona, Cruyff etc. He didn't have the magic and fantasy those players had.

[thetoon99]

he was in the same class.

[thrillamf]

No, I'm afraid he wasn't. He couldn't take on players with skill. He was more of a steven Gerrard type player who was good at a lot of things but still not a very skillful flair player.

[scott090919]

ask pele mate. unlike yours, his opinion counts

[thrillamf]

I've never heard Pele say that Bobby Charlton is one of the best.

[thetoon99]

he could take players on george best said he never seen a player who could go past a player like bobby.bobby is in the sam class did you see him play.he had great ablity and was two footed.

[fookziz]

An English-type player you mean. Players like Charlton and Gerrard epitomise the English game, it is less about flair and more about power and endeavour. Gerrards game is a power game, a long game, a hard game, like Charltons: an English game. Football is a little different in England, but you know that?

[fookziz]

It is quicker and harder in the tackles. Flair is less important than power. In England you are expected never to back out of a challenge and you're not supposed to stop running. This is why Robinho sucks in the Prem. C. Ronaldo had to man-up before he got good, he was nothing but a pussy until the English league made a warrior of him.

[fookziz]

I am not saying English football is better, that would be silly. But it is different.

[BelleVue1969]

Greatest player I have ever seen.Two footed,swerve like an "S",pace(played leftwing for 5 seasons after Munich and for England),midfield maestro(only matched by Gerson of Brazil 1970) and a tireless worker for his team.Bobby retired age 35 but Bill Shankly wanted him to take 12 month break and then sign for Liverpool.Says it all really.

Just a trivia quiz point,Bobby won £1000 "Treasure Trail Jackpot" on "Double Your Money".His subject was Popular Music.

Thanks for the post and memories.

[14mooler]

I am a liverpool and Leeds fan. But to be honest, George Best, along with Johan Cruyff, Rudi Krol, Beckenbauer and Gordon Banks have been my most favorite players. As for Sir Bobby Charlton, he should be a role model for any kid dreaming of becoming a great football player, not just in terms of  quality as a player, but also as one to look up to in terms of dignity and integrity: A true gentleman of the game. As for Bill Shankly's request: That speaks volumes about Bobby's class as a player.

[Biggestisland]

Bobby Charlton is a GOD. Period.

[scott090919]

always get emotional when see bobby. hes such a proud man and doesnt want anyone to treat him like hes special.

glad jack greeted him. he was in my butchers the other day

[vallenius]

Sir Bobby Charlton, a true Red and a true Legend!

[djTiPS08]

owen 2 score 2 gls wen u meet u

[torreslou]

I was at the awards and the standing ovation lasted 5 minutes,the longest i have ever heard,i am a big Liverpool fan and hate Man u but not Bobby Charlton what a man and what a player there were people crying when he hugged Jack and it was great to hear him say that he could not believe the response the scouses gave him.

Sir Bobby what a man

[djTiPS08]

[rafalutionine]

Thanks for this post. I'm sure your dad was a great person;40 years of vouluntary youth work is an incredible achivement. I say this as a Liverpool fan : Manchester United are the greatest club in the world because of people like SIR BOBBY CHARLTON. I was touched when he thanked the people of Liverpool.

[rafalutionine]

Sir Bobby Charlton is one of the greatest footballers of all time:he was completely two footed;one of only 2  englishmen to win the world cup and the european cup; a gentleman;NO ONE ELSE IN HISTORY STRUCK THE BALL WITH SUCH POWER AND ACCURACY WITH BOTH FEET. A GENIUS

[berlinmitte10117]

A true gentleman, generally humbled by the reception he got

[hmsmuller81]

Well as a kop season ticket holder for liverpool and you think of the bitterness between utd and liverpool fans at times it is men like Bobby Charlton who is respected by all sets of fans in the world of football. He is a class act and a footballing legend

[aje77777]

Bobby Charlton is a legend and one of the greatest footballers England and Utd have ever had. ! I had the good fortune of meeting him once as a child and he was true gentleman. I say this as a Liverpool fan and season ticket holder!

[xuxmxaxrx]

[richiehayes2000]

Hoppipolla - sigur ross

[alienbreed99]

kids..if you want someone to look up too...a role model..or a hero,look no further.
