BOBBY CHARLTON RIP

[South Coast White]

Very sad news indeed,when the word Legend is used today we often doubt the title, Bobby was without a question a TRUE LEGEND in English football history.

Only Sir Geoff left now, from the team who played.

RIP Sir Bobby

Quote (I can't remember who)"while trekking high in the mountains I came across a hermit who reached into his pocket and pulled out a bottle of hard liquor took a swig and the only English he spoke was "Bobby Charlton number one" !

Bobby Charlton was a great player and a pure gentleman.
I can't remember ever hearing or reading a bad word against him.
Oh and with world football at his feet he stayed loyal to Man.U.

Just by way of stats. Charlton played 20 times against Fulham for Manchester United. His first two games against us were the FA Cup semi final and semi final replay. The first game was a 2-2 draw in which Charlton scored both the United goals, with the replay ending 5-3 to United and Charlton scored one of United's five.

In all he scored 10 goals against us for United. And in the 20 Fulham v United games in which he played he was on the losing side just three times.

He may also have played against us for Preston North End in the 1973/74 season but I haven't been able to confirm this.
