Former Manchester United midfielder Paddy Crerand paid an emotional tribute to “great character” Nobby Stiles as the 1966 World Cup winner’s funeral took place on Thursday. Stiles died on October 30 at the age of 78 following a long illness.

Stiles was a key part of two famous sides: England’s triumphant class of 1966 and the Manchester Untied team two years later

Stiles married his wife Kay, the sister of former Republic of Ireland international John Giles, in 1961
