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.
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.
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.
He was very "cabrón" (excellent) , he was able to drive the ball either right foot or left foot... i said drive, not only shot like Pelé... he did it so natural!!!! Amazing!!!
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'm in my mid-20s, have known about the Munich disaster for years now, but it's effects never took a toll on me until I saw that film. To think kids 6-7 years younger than me lost their lives, or witnessed their fellow footballers, friends, dead...it's such a tragedy.
@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.
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.
For the list, add George, the greatest and most complete player I've ever seen play the game. From what the old boys tell me, you'd probably want Edwards in there too with Taylor, but I'm too young to confirm it.
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.
@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.
@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.
@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.
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!
@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
@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.
@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.
@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.
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!!
Are you japanese ? Do you know what's a ball? Remember : 1958 World Cup, Brasil 5x2 France... 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 !
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
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.

One of the all time greats. Not only his brilliance on the field, but also because he was a great ambassador.
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.
Footballs in those days were much heavier and harder to direct than todays... imagine Sir Bobby shooting with modern balls
Bobby Charlton..best United player of all time..!
Who ever 'disliked' this, really needs to take a look at his/her life and sort it out.
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.
What were his limitations?
at last, something for Bobby! Thanks a lot for sharing!

Perfect music you choose lad, especially at the moments with munich crash. What a mug.
He was very "cabrón" (excellent) , he was able to drive the ball either right foot or left foot... i said drive, not only shot like Pelé... he did it so natural!!!! Amazing!!!
Total Legand..One of the Worlds all time Great Players.
Mr Manchester United....Sir Bobby Charlton.....!
To paraphrase what Johnny Haynes said about Tosh Chamberlain: Charlton could've knocked a modern ball into the English Channel. ;D
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.
Bobby Charlton...was the best..United top scorer...England top scores..World cup winner..........shot like a bullet...what more could ask for...!
I'm in my mid-20s, have known about the Munich disaster for years now, but it's effects never took a toll on me until I saw that film. To think kids 6-7 years younger than me lost their lives, or witnessed their fellow footballers, friends, dead...it's such a tragedy.
his hair was awesome
a great for sure-hes mentioned in this years world cup song-zx84 englands hall of fame
*Sir Bobby Charlton* 👏👏🏴🇬🇧
jacky & booby charlton the brothers of the footbul england
The best player England has ever had.
Thanx 4 fwding me this vid, seanreilly. That Charlton thunderbolt @ about 1:14 was a nice little bit of finishing. ;D
I love him.
he has a great shot!
@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.
What makes me laugh about football in the '70's is all the bog rolls that went flying onto the pitch when a goal was scored!
RIP
I see what you mean, me old son!
George Best to Charlton, wow those were the days
@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.
Were the his opponent too lousy or is Bobby Charlton just brilliant? lol. Awessome man.
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.
jis left foot was even stronger than his right... like Zidane i think
For the list, add George, the greatest and most complete player I've ever seen play the game.

you should have changed the music for a second when you were showing the plane crash.. in my opinion
Un GENIO!!!
Without doubt the greatest English footballer of all time and in the top 10 greatest footballers 😁👍
Left foot Right foot name any player in the world that can score both sides with that amount of venom and ease in the world today
@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

the strike on 1:10 is as good as any volley u will see in the day and age
He has the same birthday as me October 11th!!!
remidns me a bit of steven gerrard
@johnv785 Lets not forget Denis Law :D those three were the driving force for our european success after the munich tragedy
how could would he be in todays game with the skills he had then?
Today you kids think that foden is a talent 🤦♂️,
Back in the days ball was harder and football was much more brutal

No the ball use to be very heavy in those days
I just want to know who is the number 10 ?
WTF is this music selection?
