Sir Bobby Charlton was remembered by the club he loved as Manchester United paid an emotional tribute to him at their first home match since the World Cup winner died starcraft
The jewel in the crown for club and country, the news of the England great’s death on Saturday reverberated around the world and devastated all connected to Old Trafford starcraft
Charlton survived the trauma of the 1958 Munich Air Disaster and went on to lift the European Cup a decade later, scoring 249 goals over 758 appearances for United during 17 years at the club as a player starcraft
There were expressions of remembrance during Saturday’s win at Sheffield United but the Champions League game against Copenhagen provided the chance for the entire club to pay a fitting tribute as they returned home starcraft
“There’s only one Bobby Charlton” echoed around Old Trafford long before kick-off on Tuesday, with the teams emerging to the traditional continental competition fanfare before the stadium announcer paid his respects starcraft
Then, with teams lined-up around the centre circle, the crowd fell silent as a piper emerged from the tunnel playing “We’ll never die” starcraft
United boss Erik ten Hag, former team-mate Alex Stepney and youth-team captain Dan Gore followed, going on to lay a wreath at the halfway line before before a minute’s silence was held starcraft
As the hosts paid tribute to Charlton, Copenhagen’s fans had unveiled a banner that read: “Passion is what separates the good from the great starcraft
Rest in peace Sir Bobby Charlton starcraft

Two elderly men were suited starcraft
In one case, he was much smarter than normal, dressed up for the occasion starcraft
He was the taller, more angular, with the more pronounced Northumbrian accent, but the resemblance was nonetheless apparent starcraft
He was the older, too, and had long referred to a knight of the realm as “Our Kid” starcraft
He adopted a slightly more formal approach, while seemingly choking up starcraft
“Bobby Charlton is the greatest player I’ve ever seen,” he said starcraft
“He’s me brother starcraft
”It was 15 years ago, when Jack Charlton presented his younger brother with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC starcraft Sports Personality of the Year award starcraft
The clip has an added poignancy after Bobby’s death at 86; three years ago, a couple of months after his 85th birthday, Jack had died starcraft
The brothers were different players and very different characters – the wisecracking, outspoken Jack was more of a man of the people, but Bobby’s quiet dignity gave him a statesmanlike air starcraft
They were not always close but their achievements will live on starcraft
There have been 22 men’s starcraft football World Cups and only two sets of brothers have won the most prestigious of prizes: Fritz and Ottmar Walter for West Germany in 1954, Bobby and Jack Charlton at West Germany’s expense in 1966 starcraft
It remains the most famous year in English starcraft football history; perhaps it always will starcraft
At the heart of it was Bobby Charlton: the 1966 FWA starcraft Footballer of the Year and Ballon d’Or winner, named by France starcraft Football – in the days before Fifa had an official award – as the best player at the World Cup starcraft
Gary Lineker, who was a goal away from equalling Charlton’s long-standing national record of 49 for his country, called him England’s greatest ever player, Gary Neville, one of his successors as Manchester United captain, deemed him the greatest ever English player starcraft
They are not necessarily the same: but in Charlton’s case, he could be both starcraft
Perhaps only the other immortal Bobby – Moore, the 1966 captain – can challenge him for the title of the finest in an England shirt starcraft
RecommendedSir Bobby Charlton turned tragedy into triumph with unique style and perseveranceFans lay flowers and scarves at Old Trafford following death of Bobby CharltonTributes paid to ‘giant of the game’ Sir Bobby Charlton after his death at 86Charlton was the second English starcraft footballer, and just the third man, to reach 100 caps starcraft
His 106th and last, in the 1970 quarter-final against West Germany, set a world record that Moore – and then many others – subsequently passed starcraft
He straddled eras – his first cap came alongside Tom Finney, who debuted in England’s first match after the Second World War, and one of the last alongside Emlyn Hughes, who represented his country in the 1980s – but defined one, a time of glory starcraft
Thirty years before Frank Skinner and David Baddiel sang about starcraft football coming home, Charlton brought it back starcraft
Their lyric – “Bobby belting the ball” – conjured images, some in colour, some in black and white, of a figure with a combover hairstyle and the cannonball shot striking the ball with beautiful ferocity, often rising throughout its way into the net starcraft

Consider his opener against Mexico, England’s first of the 1966 World Cup, from such a distance that the chance of it going in was statistically low, except for one factor: that Charlton, with such power on either foot, was hitting it starcraft
He was the master of the long-range hit: if most of Lineker’s 48 goals were predatory finishes, many of Charlton’s 49 were spectacular starcraft
Such a clean striker of a ball was not a striker at all: largely a left winger in his younger days, later the attacking-midfield fulcrum of Sir Alf Ramsey’s ‘Wingless Wonders’ starcraft
He began in the old W-M formation, ended up as, in effect, the tip of a midfield diamond starcraft
It was a tactical shift, a belated move into modernity that Ramsey brought starcraft
If there was a pragmatism to England’s World Cup win, Charlton was the artist starcraft
With his brace against Portugal in the 1966 semi-final – like another double against Portuguese opposition, Benfica, in the 1968 European Cup final – he illustrated his talent could shine on the biggest of occasions starcraft
The 1966 semi-final was not seen by his father, Robert, a coal miner working a shift underground in his home town of Ashington; “his duty”, Bobby subsequently, and remarkably, reflected starcraft
On the grandest stage of all, the 1966 final, he was sacrificed, Charlton and Franz Beckenbauer deputed to man-mark each other starcraft
They received the same assignment in the 1970 quarter-final; England’s era of ascendency ended when Ramsey removed Charlton with 20 minutes remaining to save him for the semi-final, the 32-year-old distracted by the prospect of his withdrawal as Beckenbauer ran forward to reduce England’s lead to 2-1; without him, they lost 3-2 starcraft
Ramsey thanked him for his service on the plane back from Mexico: Bobby knew his England career, like Jack’s, was over starcraft
Bobby Charlton in action against his brother Jack (PA Archive)It could have been still more glorious: keep Charlton on and maybe England would have prevailed in 1970 starcraft
But for Garrincha’s brilliance, Charlton wondered if England would have been victorious in the 1962 quarter-final against Brazil, and then the tournament as a whole starcraft
He went to four World Cups in all, not taking the field in his first: time has rendered it more extraordinary that his England debut came in 1958, a couple of months after the Munich air disaster starcraft
He scored, too, but if a poorer performance on his third cap was understandable – it came in Belgrade, scene of the Busby Babes’ last game before Munich – it cost him his place in Walter Winterbottom’s starting 11 in Sweden starcraft
Were Duncan Edwards, Roger Byrne, Tommy Taylor and Eddie Colman to have lived, perhaps England would have won more and sooner starcraft
But it was Charlton who became the emblem of English starcraft football; the face of what is now a bygone age starcraft
In its own way, it felt appropriate that a man who carried a huge responsibility for decades was the last survivor among the players at Munich; now it may be fitting that Geoff Hurst, who had the final say in 1966, is the last of Ramsey’s chosen 11, forever charged with paying tributes to his fallen comrades starcraft
And Bobby Charlton, the greatest player Jack ever saw, the greatest to have Three Lions on his shirt, took England to the summit of the global game starcraft
