RIP Bobby Charlton whatever he was he was a legend.

Can’t comment as I’m not old enough to see him play. However, my Dad would disagree with you as he said he was massively overrated and was more about the players he had around him that made him look better.

Your Dad's got that one wrong mate. He was a game changer - very similar to how King Colin was for City.

He’s arguably the greatest English player we’ve had.

or arguably Duncan Edwards.

Easily the GOAT English player in history and it's not even close at all!

RIP Bobby

Nah. Bobby Moore and Billy Wright both had more influence on the game than Charlton. Gordon Banks can lay claim to be our best WC player after Moore.

or arguably Duncan Edwards.

Edwards might well have been had he lived.

Sad news. One of England's greatest ever players. No better sight than Sir Bobby in his prime unleashing a thunderbolt shot into the back of the net.

On the BBC, one of their headlines is:

Sir Bobby Charlton: A personal account of meeting the Manchester United and England great​

Why did I know that it would be Simon Stone who wanted to make this sad story all about himself? He disgusts me.

RIP Sir Bobby. Respect from the blue side. A City United when we lose someone of your stature.

I'm sure all the eulogies have been written and ready to go for a few years. Not surprised that one was first out.
