Fact. Bobby Charlton was booked once for calling “Mine” as a cross came into the box. The FA cancelled the booking, to preserve Charlton’s clean record.
In a playing career that began a few days before his 19th birthday against Charlton Athletic in 1956 and ended in the mid-1970s, Charlton was never sent off and picked up only two bookings. One was in the infamous World Cup quarter-final against Argentina in 1966, the other in a league match against Chelsea.
