Well said, brother

[@myaphextwin807]

'from a Man City fan’ Have we got to be impressed?

[@kilte90]

You are missing the point, it's a City fan giving respect to a Man Utd and England legend. We are enemies on the field, not off.@@myaphextwin807

[@Wobb71]

I think it is true when you think of the word legend it's almost underselling Bobby, I think he is an immortal pillar of Manchester United and of English football. Not just for his footballing achievements for also the inspirational life he lived. Our most Cherished ever player. Rest in Peace ♥️♥️🙏🏻

As a very old Toffee I have only respect and admiration for Sir Bobby. We are from a different generation and we had different values. R.I.P. Sir Bobby

[@esclad]

Never met the man but grew up watching and listening to him. He always seemed extremely approachable, very witty & generally a very nice man. Hearing the news at the weekend was like someone had punched me in the stomach. A real legend and a real loss to the game. Rest easy with the Babes.

[@cjm9166]

My earliest football memory is watching Bobby Charlton’s scrapbook with my grandad and him telling me stories about the busby babes ❤️ Sir Bobby was there at Munich, Wembley for United and England, Barcelona and Moscow. The history of Manchester United in one man, there will never be a bigger legend 🔴⚫️⚪️

[@nickedwards2904]

Sir Bobby was the biggest icon ever in football, what a man, what a player , RIP Sir Bobby , always be remembered

[@nickxcore74]

Sir Bobby Charlton is without a doubt one of the greatest footballers this country has ever produced. He had it all, left foot right foot he could do the lot. The world of football has lost a real great and anyone who loves the game will respect what a great man Sir Bobby Charlton was. God bless and RIP Sir Bobby 🙏🏽

[@thorntonovski]

The greatest

[@Monty-kr7py]

He's not one of them , he is the best, his achievments and stats are remarkable

[@garywallace5602]

Bobby's goal against Mexico is so iconic. Watching the Mexican keeper diving, not getting anywhere near it...then landing on the ground looking like he'd been knocked out by Mike Tyson! 😂

[@davidlogan8905]

I'm not old enough to have seen full games of sir Bobby, but he is a true legend of Utd, and the sport itself. He always came across as a real gentleman, someone who held himself with such dignity and decency. He was doubtless an incredibly gifted footballer, but above all he just seemed like a good man. RIP Bobby (and Jack)

[@michaelgaskell2031]

Survived Munich. What he went through was terrifying. A legend and for me the best ever

[@chrisknight2631]

“Charlton whispered because he didn’t need to roar” Just got me there, Simon.

[@bardo0007]

My Norwegian grand dad watched Bobby Charlton play against Norway in Oslo in June 1966. That was only 2 weeks before the world cup. The result ended with a 6-1 win to England. Jimmy Greaves with a hat-trick.

[@connorhushin5402]

Met sir bobby away at Wigan in 2007 I was a 12 year old boy and he shook my hand and said it was great to see such a young lad so passionate about United we won the league that day great memory for me

[@jazzdub4958]

RIP gentle giant of the game. England's greatest ever footballer.

[@jasonjones3638]

To see a minute's silence at Barcelona last night tells you all you need to know (I'm not a UTD fan). that's where you realise who REAL football fans are.

[@ha8512]

I think what it also shows is how highly Sir Bobby is regarded across world football and not just in England and Manchester United. Most if not all football fans know of Sir Bobby and his incredible career. Great to see that recognition of it.

[@PedroPorridge]

Sir Bobby Manchester United Charlton what a man. RIP

[@paulmcginty6530]

Although his career ended just the year after I was born I never had the pleasure of seeing him play. Seen plenty of videos of him down the years which highlighted his greatness though. To me, Bobby Charlton transcended football and everybody loved him, an honest working class man who lived and fulfilled his dream playing football. Had to endure the horror of the Munich crash whereby a country lost a lot of its stars and whom were his friends and to come through that in the manner Bobby did was unbelievable. His humility and time for others was a mark of the man, he truly can be considered a great of the game. In a world now when ordinary run of the mill professionals are multi millionaires they will never have and more importantly could never buy the legacy players like Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore, Jimmy Greaves left behind them or be truly loved and revered as they were!

[@DC-zi6se]

He is Man Utd's Messi. Perhaps not as naturally gifted as Best but still the best and most complete and iconic player of the club.

[@nickedwards2904]

only one player is talked of in the same vein and thats pele. Sir Bobby was a worldwide name, everyone had heard of him , he was the best

[@karannegi7199]

I so miss proper 'old-school'/real footballers: Zidane, Maldini, Raul, Nesta, Bergkamp etc. etc. Players who do ALL their talking on the pitch, all the time. Nowadays most are just part-time social media PR companies.

[@danfenton89]

Rip sir bobby never will forget wat u done for are club true gentlemen rest in peace sir bobby 🙏

[@robcousins231]

Have a look at the interview Johnny Giles gave about him in the past day or so. John was of course, a Utd player first, went over there when he was 14 and Bobby was 17, and John said Bobby was the best player he ever played with or against. And John became good pals with Bobby and told some great stories about him. The interview is on KZbin.

[@taylena1235]

It's crazy if Bobby Charlton doesn't have a statue at Wembley he is the greatest English player no English player has got a world cup a balloon d or a European cup and just the story of his this man is an icon not just for united and England but football world he is like a pele maradona

[@dennisstaines8005]

Wonderful player and loved watching him. He was fantastic during the 1966 world cup which I watched all the matches on a small black and white TV when I was 12 years old. My mum bought me Bobby Charlton football boots (early merchandising) shortly afterwards. I always respect players who have humility with supreme skill which had.

I would rather (and was looking forward, although very very sad) see talksports versi9n of coverage of the late great, Sir Bobby Charlton - than what the bbc covered all in a poor 5 minutes - over 2 nights. 😢 I am neither English or a man united fan - but rather a fan of true legends and real real footballing men, real historic footballers. Shame on the bbc and thank u talksport . RIP LEGEND, SIR BOBBY CHARLTON ❤🙏🏻✝️💙🇬🇧👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@weallfollowmanutd]

Tbh all these words dont do him justice. World Cup and Eurpean cup winner. Survived a plane crash. He Could hit a ball so hard, keepers couldnt even react in time, with a football that weighed a heck of a lot more than the current ones. I remember a teacher showing videos of this man, explaining how to cleanly hit a volley and he was THE example. No one else was interested once they saw him first.
