RIP SIR BOBBY CHARLTON

[ATL Recs]

Relevant on this page today
Passed away in the last couple of hours
A true legend of the game and a gentleman
I’m sure tonight we will hold a minute ( or two ) of silence in respect

 

[coaxingstar71]

Legend is a word that is overly used these days but Sir Bobby is definitely in that category.

 

[Speedracer]

Wow, very sad indeed, if not unexpected. A true giant of a player & a great man. Sat here with tears in my eyes even though I had never met him, though I was blessed to see him in person on more than one occasion.
Thoughts to his family & friends.

 

[mattbianco1]

His name will be sang from all 4 stands tonight

 

[Geordie Blade]

Didn’t we play them in his last home game at Old Trafford (we won, I think)?

 

[Gimli]

Hopefully some sort of tribute can be organised for tonight

 

[Argentinemanager]

The term legend is used too freely but in bobbys case he was a true legend of the game and appeared a genuine nice guy, rip sir bobby

 

[Living In a Fantasy World]

RIP! Going to be another emotional day at the lane.

 

[biggiesablade]

A minutes silence everyone can agree with. RIP Sir Bobby Charlton.

 

[Jon B]

RIP

I was lucky enough to see him at the Lane almost at the end of his career. He was by far the best player on the field for Man U that day.

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

RIP to a legend of the game.

 

[Harry's Game]

Before my time but every one knows he was probably Englands greatest ever player. RIP.

 

[originaltrueblade]

RIP Bobby what a player hopefully we can pay our respect tonight to the World Cup winner

 

[Silent Blade]

I was at his last home game for Man U. We won 2-1 (Dearden, Eddy)

 

[Rochdaleblade]

My Dad's favourite player, bar none. Absolute legend.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Minutes silent before tonights game for the sad loss of Sir Bobby Charlton one of Englands legends

 

[Jon Bon II]

Imagine how much the football world would hate us if we were to fluke a win...

 

[bornablade]

RIP Sir Bobby.

 

[Kop Cat]

RIP sir Bobby, a true great of the game

 

[Boxer Blade]

As some have already said a true legend in every sense of the word, not just as a player but how he has always conducted himself, very sad, as an aside can say that I shared one of his many attributes as a footballer, unfortunately it was his hair , let's play our part tonight girls and boys, minutes silence,a round of applause and a mighty rendition of the greasy chip butty in his honour.

 

[CoatesyBlade]

We all know eventually it happens… but it’s still total shit when it does! RIP Bobby, what a legend! Thoughts are with his family and friends

 

[BerksBlade]

A true giant of the English game. RIP Sir Bobby.

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Very sad news. Hell of a player he was.
Another legend gone.

 

[Crouchy]

A legend and a great player. Complex man, and quite difficult at times I think, although if I'd been in a plane crash and stepped over the bodies of my mates I think I'd be difficult too.

One-club man, which is something I always admire. (He did play a handful of games elsewhere, PNE mostly, but I think it's a fair description).

Only Geoff Hurst left now.

 

[Silent Blade]

Only Geoff Hurst left now.

For the Germans Schnellinger, Schulz, Weber, Beckenbauer, Overath and Held are still around

 

[Tickhill Blade]

A legend and a great player. Complex man, and quite difficult at times I think, although if I'd been in a plane crash and stepped over the bodies of my mates I think I'd be difficult too.

One-club man, which is something I always admire. (He did play a handful of games elsewhere, PNE mostly, but I think it's a fair description).

Only Geoff Hurst left now.

A couple of others who played in the tournament but not the final are still going, Terry Paine and Ian Callaghan I think

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

Proper gentleman,hero to millions, a great legend of a footballer. Great respect to Him and his family.

 

[The Crab]

A footballing legend.

RIP Sir Bobby

 

[Kop Cat]

As our game will only be the 2nd game to pay tribute to Sir Bobby lets all give the utmost respect specially as our opponents are his club.
