Two elderly men were suited soccer
In one case, he was much smarter than normal, dressed up for the occasion soccer
He was the taller, more angular, with the more pronounced Northumbrian accent, but the resemblance was nonetheless apparent soccer
He was the older, too, and had long referred to a knight of the realm as “Our Kid” soccer
He adopted a slightly more formal approach, while seemingly choking up soccer
“Bobby Charlton is the greatest player I’ve ever seen,” he said soccer
“He’s me brother soccer
”It was 15 years ago, when Jack Charlton presented his younger brother with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC soccer Sports Personality of the Year award soccer
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 soccer
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 soccer
They were not always close but their achievements will live on soccer
There have been 22 men’s soccer 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 soccer
It remains the most famous year in English soccer football history; perhaps it always will soccer
At the heart of it was Bobby Charlton: the 1966 FWA soccer Footballer of the Year and Ballon d’Or winner, named by France soccer Football – in the days before Fifa had an official award – as the best player at the World Cup soccer
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 soccer
They are not necessarily the same: but in Charlton’s case, he could be both soccer
Perhaps only the other immortal Bobby – Moore, the 1966 captain – can challenge him for the title of the finest in an England shirt soccer
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 soccer footballer, and just the third man, to reach 100 caps soccer
His 106th and last, in the 1970 quarter-final against West Germany, set a world record that Moore – and then many others – subsequently passed soccer
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 soccer
Thirty years before Frank Skinner and David Baddiel sang about soccer football coming home, Charlton brought it back soccer
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 soccer

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 soccer
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 soccer
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’ soccer
He began in the old W-M formation, ended up as, in effect, the tip of a midfield diamond soccer
It was a tactical shift, a belated move into modernity that Ramsey brought soccer
If there was a pragmatism to England’s World Cup win, Charlton was the artist soccer
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 soccer
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 soccer
On the grandest stage of all, the 1966 final, he was sacrificed, Charlton and Franz Beckenbauer deputed to man-mark each other soccer
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 soccer
Ramsey thanked him for his service on the plane back from Mexico: Bobby knew his England career, like Jack’s, was over soccer
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 soccer
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 soccer
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 soccer
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 soccer
Were Duncan Edwards, Roger Byrne, Tommy Taylor and Eddie Colman to have lived, perhaps England would have won more and sooner soccer
But it was Charlton who became the emblem of English soccer football; the face of what is now a bygone age soccer
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 soccer
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 soccer

On a night that Manchester United desperately needed to win, in part due to their poor standing in Group A of the Champions League and, in part to honour the passing of United legend Sir Bobby Charlton, it fell to two of their most maligned characters to ensure victory at Old Trafford soccer
A tepid first half left the packed house inside the stadium clamouring for a bit of verve and excitement from the hosts, who seemed low on confidence and motivation soccer
Chances were few and far soccer between with Copenhagen coming the closest to scoring as Diogo Goncalves struck the woodwork early on soccer
The introduction of Christian Eriksen provided a new dimension to United’s play and the Dane was the supplier for the only goal of the match soccer
A corner was knocked out to him and he whipped a cross perfectly onto the head of Harry Maguire soccer
The defender, selected for tonight’s game after a sterling performance at the weekend, repaid Erik ten Hag’s faith with a powerful header into the deck, the ball bouncing over Kamil Grabara to send United in front soccer
That goal should have been enough to clinch victory but a late, late foul from Scott McTominay gifted Copenhagen the chance to equalise soccer
They were awarded a penalty, Jordan Larsson stepped up, but Andre Onana made the save, leaping to his left and touching the ball wide of the post soccer
Old Trafford roared in celebration, as did Onana, who made up for his previous mistakes in this competition with a save that could yet keep United in the Champions League soccer
"I’m just doing my job, the most important thing is to win against a tough team,” Onana said after his match-winning save soccer
"I am happy for the victory, we did a good game and a big goal from Harry soccer
"We are Manchester United soccer
We are a big club, big players soccer
It’s just a matter of time, now we have to continue like this soccer
I have no doubt we will make it soccer
"Onana’s last minute penalty save denied Copenghagen an equaliser (EPA)Maguire spoke about how United were inspired to win as a tribute to Sir Bobby soccer
“It was one of those nights where it was meant to be,” said Maguire soccer
“We were meant to win the game, a magnificent save and a win dedicated to Sir Bobby and his family soccer
"It has been a tough week for us away at Sheffield United and losing someone like Sir Bobby, it affects the cub and the dressing room soccer
We’re really proud that we could get the win for him tonight soccer
"Harry Maguire’s second-half header earned United all three points (EPA)The former United captain added that there were still areas of improvement for the team but getting three points on the board was the most important job soccer
He added: “We have got to be more clinical, we had numerous counter-attacks and we didn’t give them a chance in the second-half soccer
"The first-half was really poor, it was not perfect but an important win soccer
This man [Onana] stepped up and it was a massive save soccer
"The victory sees United move off the bottom of Group A as they jumped above Copenhagen in the table soccer
With Bayern Munich also defeating Galatasary, the Red Devils are now just one point behind the Turkish side and have a strong chance of reaching the knockouts soccer
Maguire says that after a difficult year, he is looking forward to helping the team get back to where they belong and is targeting a place in the Champions League last-16 soccer
"It is amazing,” he replied when asked how it feels to have the fans chanting his name soccer
“When you are not on your game it gets picked up, but I am really proud and pleased how I have acted over this six to 12 months soccer
"I have been given an opportunity and I want to help the team and get the club back to where it should be soccer
