    Only saw him once at the Valley at a night fixture when he was managing Preston, it was like a royal visit. I think we won 3-1 and I seem to remember he was fired shortly afterwards. They said that he was to nice to be a manager.
    Imagine being the chairman that has to sack Bobby Charlton!

    For the mentions of Geoff Hurst being the last player left from the England team in 1966, Bobby Charlton was also the last survivor of the Munich Air Disaster left.

    I first saw him in European game’s, flying down the left wing, a body swerve I’ve never seen bettered then a thunderbolt shot - into the top corner. Watching on a grainy black & white tv then, around1959 I guess.

    Bobby became my boyhood hero & he’s remained a hero to me ever since. So talented and so humble.
