RIP Sir Bobby Charlton. I've never been a football fan, but I remember when I was a kid Bobby Charlton was arguably the biggest name in English football (I guess replaced by George Best).

I don't follow football much anymore, haven't done for a good 5 or so years but as a child I was a big MUFC fan. Charlton was from way before my time (I was born in the mid-90s) but he's one of the biggest legends for the club and for the England national team.

The 'holy trinity' of Bobby Charlton, George Best & Denis Law is the stuff of legends.

RIP to Sir Bobby.

One of the last of a bygone era. Here's a picture of him in 1972, remarkably aged just 35:-
