Manchester United are in mourning over the death Bobby Charlton, one of the greatest players in the history of our club.
He was an English soccer icon who won England the 1966 world cup and who was one of survivors of the plane crash that decimated a Manchester United team, died Saturday afternoon aged 86.
Alex Ferguson, who managed United from 1986-2013, said before Charlton’s death that he “is the greatest Manchester United player of all time — and that’s saying something.”
“Bobby Charlton is absolutely without peer in the history of the English game,” Ferguson said.
