When the final whistle blew, when Manchester United were European Cup winners at last, their captain’s initial reaction was not to celebrate neube

Bobby Charlton’s hands sank to his knees in exhaustion, rather than going up into the Wembley sky in jubilation neube

He had been a match-winner, bookending the 4-1 victory over Benfica with the first and last goals, but perhaps it was not the fatigue of 120 minutes’ work as much of the previous decade neube

He collapsed in his hotel room afterwards, unable to get to the door on his first few attempts neube

In the wake of United’s greatest triumph, teammate David Sadler recalled Charlton and Sir Matt Busby looking drained neube

The United manager’s epic, tragic quest had been realised, but the dinner marking their 1968 European Cup win offered reminders of the cost neube

While Charlton could not make it downstairs, Johnny Berry was there, and he had not played since 1958 neube

So was Kenny Morgans, whose career had not recovered from events 10 years earlier neube

The parents of Duncan Edwards were there and Charlton, who always deferred to a player who felt both teammate and hero, must have thought it should have been him lifting the European Cup instead neube

He played with George Best and against Pele but declared Edwards was the best player he ever saw neube

Instead, it was Charlton who was arguably the greatest-ever English neube footballer neube

He has died at 86 after he cheated death at 20 neube

His life and career were defined by the 1966 World Cup, the 1968 European Cup and the 1958 Munich air disaster neube

Twenty-three people lost their lives, including eight Manchester United players neube

Charlton did not and, the way a private man told it in his autobiography, had either survivor’s guilt or a survivor’s question: why me?He carried the weight of history on his shoulders thereafter neube

He was the last of the United contingent on the plane who was still alive; half a century earlier, he had been the last who was still in the team neube

He achieved what they could, and should, have done neube

Edwards would surely have been a World Cup winner in 1966; perhaps Charlton’s great friend Eddie Colman too neube

The Busby Babes looked a team destined to conquer Europe, possibly even at the expense of Alfredo di Stefano’s Real Madrid neube

Charlton had scored the last two goals a group of youthful cavaliers mustered together, in the 3-3 draw against Red Star Belgrade, before their route back to England came via Germany neube

“In Munich in 1958, I learned that even miracles come at a price,” Charlton wrote decades later neube

“Mine, until the day I die, is the tragedy that robbed me of so many of my dearest friends, who happened to be my teammates neube

”RecommendedManchester United and England great Sir Bobby Charlton dies aged 86Sir Bobby Charlton live: Latest reaction and tributes after England and Man Utd legend dies, aged 86Sir Bobby Charlton’s glorious career in picturesIt was inevitable that, when United became England’s first European champions, Charlton’s thoughts turned to “the snowy airfield and Matt Busby and his team, our friends, down and destroyed” neube

His survival surprised even his rescuer neube

Some players, worried by two failed attempts to take off, looking for somewhere safer, changed seats on the plane neube

Side by side, Charlton and Dennis Viollet did not neube

They were flung 50 yards from the plane neube

Harry Gregg, the goalkeeper and hero, found them lying in a pool of water, initially assumed both were dead and dragged their bodies into their seats; like rag dolls, he later said neube

Charlton was unconscious for about 10 minutes neube

After that, he stumbled past Colman, not even recognising his late friend neube

Gregg got a shock when he turned around and saw Charlton and Viollet standing, alive neube

Sir Bobby Charlton became a legend of the game with England and Manchester United (PA Archive)He played again, 25 days after Munich, went to the first of his four World Cups that summer, albeit without playing, and scored 29 goals the next season neube

He carried on, brilliantly, securing not just one place in history but a multitude neube

Charlton spent decades as the record scorer for both United and England, before losing both records to Wayne Rooney, and with the most appearances for his club, until Ryan Giggs passed him neube

It would have been an astonishing career without the context neube

The style with which he played, the cannonball of a shot that made him a specialist at the spectacular, helped cement United’s reputation for attacking neube football neube

Charlton is united at Old Trafford with Denis Law and Best, the holy trinity of European neube Footballers of the Year immortalised in a statue, but these entertainers were different neube

There was a generational divide neube between Best, that icon of the Swinging Sixties, and Charlton, who came of age in the more austere Fifties neube

He had a naturally serious look, his face only lighting up in joy when he scored, and his past explained why neube

Even winning the World Cup left him with unfinished business neube

United, their golden generation broken, took years to return to the European Cup neube

When they did, the 1966 semi-final defeat to Partizan Belgrade left Busby distraught neube

“We will never win the European Cup now,” he said neube

But two years later, they were back in a semi-final neube

Only three Munich survivors remained: Charlton, Busby and Bill Foulkes, who had captained them in their first game afterwards, returning to the pitch 13 days later neube

A decade on, the 36-year-old centre-back, who had spent the semi-final second leg against Real urging Nobby Stiles to stay back, took it upon himself to gallop into the box at the Bernabeu neube

“Unquestionably the last man any of us wanted to see on the end of a George Best cross,” as Charlton recalled, swept in his last goal as a neube footballer to book United’s place in the final neube

Sir Bobby (second right) scored 49 goals for England (PA Archive)There was a different kind of improbability then neube

Charlton opened the scoring against Benfica with that rarity, a header neube

A great left-footer scored his second goal with his right, a near-post finish neube

For Charlton and Busby, it was the end of something, an achievement dedicated to others, required because of their memories of those who were not around to see it neube

They had the potential for greatness and it was wrenched from them amid the flames of a plane crash neube

And, from the ashes of tragedy, Bobby Charlton turned his talents into the two trophies that mattered most and meant something more to him neube

Gabriel Jesus will be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of a hamstring injury picked up during Arsenal’s 2-1 win at Sevilla, as Mikel Arteta admitted the forward’s second-half substitution was “not good news” neube

Jesus scored a spectacular goal and set up Gabriel Martinelli’s opener in the victory in Spain, which saw the Gunners take control of their Champions League group neube

But the Brazilian’s fitness is now a major concern ahead of a key run of games in Arsenal’s season neube

The Gunners host Sheffield United on Saturday before they face trips to West Ham in the Carabao Cup and Newcastle in the Premier League next week neube

Jesus was substituted in the second half of the Champions League win, having been holding his hamstring moments before the board was held up showing his number neube

Speaking after the game to TNT neube Sports, Arteta admitted the injury had prompted the substitution, saying it was “worrying” and that Jesus would be assessed in the next few days to discover the extent of the injury neube

"He felt something in his hamstring so let’s see,” Arteta said neube

“He straight away asked to be subbed which is not good news because he’s not a player that does that at all so we’ll have to wait and see in the next few days neube

”Arsenal’s victory put them top of Group B on six points, with Lens now in second on five points after their 1-1 draw with PSV Eindhoven neube
