I was Sir Bobby's last league match..Against chelsea @ the bridge.End of season mid table game we lost 1-0..but everyone was there to see off England's greatest player.
I wish Duncan Edwards didn't die in the munich crash. He would have been the greatest player of all time according to those who saw him including Charlton. And Sir Matt Busby said Duncan Edwards was the best player he had at Man Utd..and he had players such as Charlton,Law and George Best!
Just think. They were using old leather balls which were had as fuck back than, coupled with tough leather boots. And Sir Bobby still managed to hit some absolute pile drivers with great accuracy. Imagine what he could do with modern day stuff.
Unfortunately, there are no more players like him today. Football between 50s to 70s is the best period of the sport's history. We had Pelé and many others that played with heart and passion.
Ronaldinho e outros tantos mercenários de hoje deveriam ter vergonha ao olhar a história desses homens que somente queriam jogar e realizar os sonhos de cada torcedor. Futebol por amor, assim como o rock'n roll, está morto.
I just finished reading his most recent autobiography. An absolute legend of a player. As a Scot, I used to worry every time he was in an England team to play against us!! By all accounts one of the nicest men you could hope to meet. Best, Law, Charlton: what a trio!
why in a recent poll in inside united did he com 4th at least 2nd he uniteds first proper player george best wasn't better than him. cantona (i think is a bit over rated) was certainly not better than him giggs you can argue his case
heavier balls-crap pitches-crap boots-imagine how hard and from what distances he would score goals now? amazing player-lampard as goalscoring midfielder comapred to sir bobby? do me a favour!!
What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful!
Keep up the good work. Hope You Are Having A Splendid Day!
Great collection of clips, this is one of the finest players to grace the game over the last fifty years - one of the all time greats, wonderful upload.......5beer!!
A lovely, lovely player. Bobby wasn't without his limitations, and people forget this when they come up with their ridiculous all time XI's etc... but boy, just like Stan Matthews, he was a one off. A true Legend in a world of leg ends.
@seanreillyireland: Agree w/you 100% on the A-T XIs, lists, etc., mate. Fr. several highlights in the vid: I love it when people spout off shite about how "Sir Bobby" supposedly couldn't hit the target fr. distance.
@TheLegendfamily Thanks so much Legendfamily. A thumbs up from you always means a lot because anyone who reads your contributions can see heres a man who knows his subject as close to inside out as you can get.
@seanreillyireland I guess that would make me an inside-out forward then? ;-D Seriously, thank you so much for the kind words & they're always appreciated, mate.
@TheLegendfamily Actually that got me thinking... Bobby achieved world class in two positions, left wing in his early / mid 20's, and later, deep lying cenre-forward / attacking midfielder.
Yo vi jugar a Bobby Charlton en mi barrio Villa Lynch en Buenos Aires en el 78 cuando vino a trabajar como periodista para la BBC. Fue en la cancha del Ferrocarril Urquiza en frente de mi casa. Jugo con su hermano. Fue un sueño para mi.
@alquiora Great call on including Taylor! George Best, Denis Law & Stan Pearson are three more names that I'd put up as contenders for that list as well.
@manutdfanatic777 he was a great player but not in the same class as George Best ,when players such as Maradonna messi Ronaldo are talked about the only player from Britain who is compared to them is Best, he was lead goal scorer for united for 6 years 3 of which he played on the wing.
this is a wonderful trubute, many thanks. For constructive comments - its just missing two of his greatest goals - 1966 England v Mexico, and 1970 Liverpool v United.
my list of the top 10 players ever based on what i have read about fans who saw them play. 1.duncan edwards 2.di stefano 3.george best 4.pele 5.tom finney 6.maradonna 7.john charles 8.cruff 9.beckenbeur 10.jim baxter
@thetoon99 nice to see Edwards at the top of your list, from what i've seen and heard of him he should have been the worlds best. Such a tragedy for united and england.
@mrtallis oh yea i agree he was and would have been even more it was a shame what happned but oh well.it happned but man utd came back from that set back in the end.
@thetoon99 united somehow won the fa cup just the year after, kinda shows how tough people were back then, everyones parents if not them had lived through the war. People are still tough but here in england it more rare, perhaps we should be thankful for our cushioned lives.
@thetoon99 my mistake, they/we reached the final the same year, a even more remarkable feat than the one i mistakenly claimed. Bolton wanderers won that year 2-0
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
As brazilian, i can say that bob charlton was a shit player, as all english ones !!!
But, in confrontation with the actual england team, bob, george beast and all of that 66's selection was equivalent of my Brazil, because Gerrard, lampard, joe cloe, ferdinand are all turd
Sorry, you're right, the england (and austria else) will never have a player like George, imagine players as Pelé and another LATIN americans...
I know nothing about futebol, but i know that austria never conquer one world cup, so be with your knowledge and i will be with the five cups and more...
@GedoMazou George best is north irish. hahah brazil you mean adriano, robinho, Dida, fat ronaldo ? do you really consider this bank of craps ? brazil is good and can win even they never play the France ahhahahah 86, 98 2006 next maybe 2010. Charlton was a good player maybe not the best technically but for tactics English or even european player are better than samba dancer.
And against France we have 5 victories, 4 draws and 4 loses... Read Wikipedia, the only team we never defeat is Norway, and else, we never lose to Japan...
And, what about the europeans, they just gain world cups at their own continent, but Brazil already conquered it in Europe... Sayonara !
Bobby Charlton defies that bullshit, just a great player, one of the greatest ever: England's leading goalscorer, Man United's leading goalscorer, European and World Cup winner...
As they used to say in my day, "It's studs-up time again, lads!!" ;D Did you check this under the View All format? I wonder if this fuckwit even knows the Haynes & Chamberlain story that I was paraphrasing when I was talking about Sir Bobby Charlton?
