Bobby Charlton: The inspiration behind Manchester United and England
BROTHERS IN ARMS: Manchester United's Bobby Charlton takes on Leeds United's Jack Charlton.
Bobby Charlton was a mesmerising midfielder for Manchester United, a World Cup winner with England and an all-round gentleman.
A key member of the Busby Babes and a survivor of the Munich air crash of 1958, a wonderful 17-year career at Manchester United dovetailed with a remarkable time with England, which peaked with World Cup glory in 1966.
