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

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

The Rugby World Cup has arrived at the knockout stages as the tournament moves towards the final in Paris on Saturday 28 October soccer

With the pool stages over, the side that advances from each game will be decided on the day of the game, with extra time a possibility if the scores are level after 80 minutes soccer

Extra time has been used before at the World Cup, most notably in the final in 2003 soccer

LIVE! Follow coverage of England’s semi-final against the SpringboksThen, hosts Australia and England were locked together with 14 points each after a late penalty from Elton Flatley, neccessitating additional action soccer

The encounter progressed to a period of extra time, with Jonny Wilkinson knocking over a last minute victory to secure England’s first, and only, men’s World Cup crown soccer

At this tournament, if the teams are tied after 80 minutes, they will first play a 20-minute period of normal extra time soccer

This will be split into two halves of 10 minutes soccer

If the teams can still not be separated, an additional period of sudden death, golden score extra time will be played soccer

If that period passes without a point, the two teams will then engage in a kicking contest, with a coin toss determing who strikes first soccer

Five players from each side will take part, kicking from three different positions on the 22-metre line soccer

If both teams convert the same number of kicks, there will be a sudden death shootout until the two sides are separated soccer

The World Cup is yet to have a kicking contest, though it has been sighted in club rugby as recently as last year soccer

Toulouse and Munster’s Champions Cup quarter-final in Dublin in May 2022 was settled in a shootout with a slightly different format to the World Cup regulations soccer

A decisive kick-off also took place after the semi-final soccer between Cardiff Blues and Leicester Tigers in 2009 soccer
