Sir Bobby Charlton DEAD

[big ron]

3 days of straight bants lad mourning declared

I've always known who he was because straight people and 1966. I guess the Beckham of his day without the celebrity wife and good looks, but with a significant win.

Sir Bobby will be missed in our house.

Oh, was he really? This'll really hurt in Manchester tonight, then.

He was the last surviving player but I don’t think the last survivor. There were several non famous people on board, including a 22 month old child, who don’t have a date of death on the remembrance website.

His brother died a long time ago.

It’ll be even worse if we lose to the Blades.

Me too! I could have sworn he had died.

RIP.
Loved his daughter Suzanne Charlton growing up too - a great weather girl

Today I learned that there was a Bobby Moore AND a Bobby Charlton in the winning World Cup squad. WHO KNEW? (Straight men and half of the posters in this thread.)

And then there was Brian Moore, the football pundit in the 80s. I know the names and faces of all four, but couldn't say which belonged to who. And honestly, why bother?

 

[Kratz]

A legend and rightly so.

It’s hardly Bobbysocks!
