Bobby Charlton passes away at the age of 86

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

RIP Sir Bobby, there'll be some welcome committee up there, Best, Law, Bell, Lee and so many others who are leaving us...

Law?

 

[Kakhaber The Great]

He was some player. RIP, Bobby.

 

[Blueboy73]

RIP Bobby

 

[Shaggy]

RIP. An awful illness, dementia. Thoughts for his family.

Yes it is, awful vile condition, robs you of the suffering person twice

Sleep well Sir Bobby, your star will shine on

 

[jimharri]

Only Buzzer left of the 6. RIP to a superb footballer. What a player.

Eh? Denis Law is still alive.

 

[KS55]

Bobby Charlton, best known for his thunderbastards and his comb-over. Fine player.
RIP Bobby.

 

[Bozzie]

One of my absolute favourite goals and definitely my favourite England goal. Just Buzzer and Denis Law left of Manchester's finest and I believe Denis isn't too well which is a shame as he's a lovely bloke. RIP Bobby Charlton

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Very sad. RIP Sir Bobby.

 

[Blue Floyd]

RIP Bobby

A true legend of the game, probably the most well known English player to overseas taxi drivers for a few decades.

Utter shit bag of a disease claims another.

RIP Mr Charlton.

Back in the '60s my Mum worked on and off at a sweet shop/newsagent/tobacconist in The Quadrant, Stretford. A lot of United players used to come in. Although my Mum was City through and through she liked the United players she met, and, in particular, described Bobby Charlton as a true gentleman. (From where we stand now we may wonder why top players went to a local shop - for papers, cigarettes? As the man said, "The past is a foreign country. They do things differently there.") Great player and a gentleman.

A true legend of the game but surely doesn’t warrant sky news presenter to wear all black even if she is a United fan. My first memory of him is the 1968 Benfica final and his goal. RIP Sir Bobby

 

[When The Levee Breaks]

Always preferred Big Jack but it's very sad news and having recently lost an uncle to Dementia, its a very cruel disease.

 

[Mozzer]

R.I.P Bobby, felt the same when Jimmy Greaves died.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

That's opinion. Some would argue Moore or Banks.

RIP Bobby Charlton.

I'd feel sadder about it if Sky Sports werent in absolute mourning and unable to go even 2 minutes without mentioning it.

He’s arguably the greatest English player we’ve had. Are you really that surprised they’re constantly talking about it, especially considering it was announced today

RIP

 

[blue44]

My 83 year old dad text me while i was at the game today,he was very upset like he was the other week with Franny.

RIP Bobby .

 

[01282]

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

RIP Bobby

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.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Sad news, another legend of the game has left us.

 

[kinky's boots]

What 6?

Yeah, Denis law is still kicking too
