Bobby Charlton was even better than you think

This compilation is dedicated to Sir Bobby Charlton's illustrious career - arguably the greatest footballer that England had ever produced & one of the most adored players in the history of Manchester United. It includes his goals, assists & other skills like dribbling, passing and tackling. A midfielder by trade, he really could do everything with the ball - score incredible goals, dictate the game from deeper areas, dribble through players in one of his trademark ballet-esque runs forward... His cannon-like shots was world-famous - German press nicknamed him "Boom Boom" for them. And, of course, he was a man who stepped up when needed the most - helping Matt Busby in rebuilding the club after the Munich tragedy, leading England to their first and only World Cup title in 1966 and scoring 2 goals in the European Cup final of 1968 (Man Utd became the first ever English club to win it).

I've had a lot of time on my hands this Christmas and I must have watched this glorious sequence of yours 20 times now. It's so wonderful. In all my watching football for over 50 years no one has surely scored such a staggering amount of spectacular goals. Rare to find bobby over doing the celebrations. Once or twice, he can't help himself and does indulges himself, when it was a real cracker jack. Starting off with the Mexico goal was a superb choice I feel. His best for me personally. It's a great edit all round. Can't wipe the smile off my face in the first 30 seconds. Absollutely brilliant.

[@ballbreathtaker9773]

Exactly. For about 45 years watching football I’ve seen literally a couple of players equally good with both feet. And now I am seeing Charlton.

[@russhouldin5774]

Thank you for this post which only scratches the surface. I was lucky that my dad, a Utd fan from the late 40s, took me to see him and I must have seen close to 100 games live. His passing was incredible. He would curve the pass so it could be gathered by the recipient using the inside or outside of the left or right foot. He hit balls over the line of the defence like wedge shots, with back spin. If you look closely at the clips you'll see this. He could hold the ball indefinitely. Much is made nowadays of the press. Charlton killed the press. I've seen him shake of posses of challengers, swerving this way and that before turning and hitting a killer pass with them all out of position. Not the sort of thing that made highlights but were bread and butter. He was so fast but his elegance disguised this. All of this on pitches that were often muddy.

[@russhouldin5774]

Forgot to thank you for the selection of corner kicks. This is another thing you cant see on film, the way he curled them either away or inswing. Which reminds me that with the light balls now used it would be a struggle to contain Charlton to a goal a game. The "goto" shot now is the one that imparts hook overspin with the inside of the foot. In Charlton;s day no-one could get enough speed to beat pro keepers from 18 yards. Finally, he never got injured seriously. His balance was incredible. I once saw him tripped, he did a forward roll and carried on but the ref had already blown.

Robert h, law and charlton were great. But they couldnt score goals or had the ability that george best had. Best could chip a ball on an ice frozen park over a keeper with any foot. Plus best could control a high ball then lob the keeper with it touching the ground with any foot. It has to be inch perfect and the weight of the shot you put on the ball. Thats the hardest goal ever to score. Becouse the ball doesnt touch the ground once between player to player for best to control it then let it drop onto his foot and lob pat jeninngs, the famous lob in 1971 we see alot that best did againts spurs. Barry davies called it "beautiful absolutly beautiful and one of the gems of the season" and it was. Law and charlton couldnt have done that. They wouldnt have thought about doing it let alone being able to do it. Thats only a george best special that one. The wee treets george used to give us was just amazing that only he could do. And no other player. It was like God saying right george here ye are do this one now for the fans, and he did.

Football is a compact game of gravity, and players of another age were decked well, with BLACK boots. So when you watch them on the screen or otherwise, the viewer's attention is concentrated on the ball alone. Adorning players with purple, yellow, green, red, blue, pink, white, and all sorts of colours, their multi colored boots fail to provide uniformity of view and are disturbing to view. These frolicsome multi coloured boots have no place in a serious game of football. Another side effect is that when players use boots of any other tone than black, they appear to be floating on the turf, as though they are above it. Again, this is not right.

As a teenager in the mid 60s Manchester United's trio of law 😁, Charlton and best were making headlines every week with their brand of effortlessly, swashbuckling football. People flocked to see them when they were in town.It was football of a different kind. Either law's amazing goal poaching, George Bests dazzling dribbling balance, and finishing or Bobbie's spectacular shooting.You couldn't go wrong watching them. On Bobby in particular though. He had real acceleration and pace, he used to glide past players with ease.And, such a rare skill he had a tremendous shot with either foot. That's a rarity,in fact I can't recall another player who had that amazing ability. He was always superbly fit. And,he'd have easily played in the modern game . The México goal from 30 yards out was my particular favourite. I was watching it live and Kenneth Woldtenholmes wonderful commentary sticks in my mind. Charlton might try one!!!!!? A beauty!!!!! Magical.

[@JonInLondon]

RIP I think the best British player ever, but chronically under-rated despite being voted the best player at the 66 World cup and winning the Ballon D'Or. I think this is still the best video of his playing, as it features all the midfield stuff - pinpoint long passes, tackling, beating people, which was the reason he could run games, when others make him out as a striker rather than a creative attacking midfielder... Thank you! BTW we won the '66 World Cup as he marked Beckenbauer out of the game, and was voted the tournament's best player (ahead of Bobby Moore and Eusebio). We got knocked out of the '70 World Cup as he was replaced and Beckenbauer could finally play. "Beckenbauer said later he couldn't get a grip on the game in midfield until Charlton was taken off with 20 minutes left ." Also Beckenbauer: "Bobby Charlton stood alongside Pele as the greatest players of their generation and I deeply value his friendship to this day." George Best: “What a pleasure to play alongside,” Best told FourFourTwo. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody who could beat players as easily as him, myself included. “I often used my pace, but Bobby made it look effortless. And once he got within 30 yards of the goal, he was lethal with either foot. “Because he played a lot on the left, many people assume he was a natural left-footer, but I don’t think he was. He was just so good with both feet.” Eusebio “Charlton, as we all know, covered the whole pitch,” Eusebio told FourFourTwo. “Played on the left, on the right, in the middle. He never stopped running and he had a very powerful shot and scored a lot of great goals. “I have many more good than bad memories from my career, but some of the bad memories come from when
 I crossed paths with Bobby Charlton. It was Bobby Charlton who spoiled my day in the World Cup semi-final of 1966 and later the European Cup final of ’68, but I’ve forgiven him and we are still good friends now. He’s a real English gentleman.”

Mind blowing,that Sir Bobby would pay such an accolade. Considering the number of great players he played with and against.RIP Sir Bobby

[@BlackPrimeMinister]

Nah, he wasn't. Man won Ballon d'Or and World Cup in the same era as Pele, Garrincha and Eusebio. That was his level so you cannot surprise me.

Never seen someone so good with both feet. Shooting from distance with ball and boots much heavier than modern day. Such a talented athlete. He’d be worth over £100m today. A gentleman footballer. God speed

[@alcyonemusic]

0:45 yeah that was the one!!!! one of the most killer shots of all time!!! The ball was last seen by voyager spacecraft in 1978, still going up. This is a fantastic collection highlighting his diverse skills. and 2:10 is pure poetry

[@asacarrick1385]

Was it over the bar then?

[@KevTheImpaler]

How fast was he? He does not seem like he was going that fast, but no one was catching him.

[@johnp515]

He used to “glide” over the turf. That’s the word they often used

[@CamranShahid]

Wow that is some amazing footage of the great man himself. For me he was a great person, friend, an exceptionally heartfelt and compassionate person and above all a team player with a gift to encourage and build futures. Miss him already, some things and some people you can never replace and Sir Bobby is irreplaceable. Rest in peace my friend and I'll see you in the next life Allah SWT willing. Kindest regards the kid and Allah SWT.

Spot on Mick. GOAT.

A football is not supposed to accelerate after being kicked, but with Bobby Charlton normal laws of physics don't apply. He was phenomenal.

[@pablodebiddlybo3771]

Rest in peace Sir Bobby

[@66meikou]

What a legend! It seems such a shame the way he passed after a fall.

[@GeorgeParkinson-tr3lw]

Those two were just an example, there are many as good if not a lot better than Charlton.
