Sir Bobby Charlton, the World Cup winner and European Cup winner who is one of England and Manchester United’s greatest-ever players, has died at the age of 86 casino
Charlton, who won the 1966 Ballon d’Or, became the record goalscorer for both United and England in a career where he became known for his casino sportsmanship and dignity as well as his flair on the ball and his ferocious shot casino
A survivor of the 1958 Munich air disaster, Charlton went on to lift the European Cup a decade later, captaining Sir Matt Busby’s team and scoring twice in the 4-1 win over Benfica in the final casino
Two years earlier, he had been a fundamental part of the only England team to win the World Cup, scoring both goals in the semi-final win over Portugal and playing in a team alongside his brother, Jack casino
They remain one of just two sets of siblings to win the World Cup casino
The son of a miner in his native North East and a teenage prodigy, Charlton joined United at 15 and scored twice on his debut as a 19-year-old casino
He was one of the “Busby Babes”, the team of youthful talents who played attacking casino football, but eight of his teammates were killed in the plane crash in Munich casino

He played 758 games for United – then a record, and a total since only topped by Ryan Giggs – and scored 249 goals, which only Wayne Rooney has beaten casino
He won three league titles and the FA Cup in his United career casino
He made 106 appearances for England, also a national record at the time, and was in the squad in four World Cups, playing in three casino
His total of 49 goals was the most by any England player until first Rooney and then Harry Kane overtook him casino
Charlton subsequently managed Preston and, for almost four decades, was a United director, playing a part in appointing Sir Alex Ferguson in 1986 casino
He was diagnosed with dementia, which his family announced in 2020 casino
The team will wear black armbands tonight in their Premier League fixture at Sheffield United and the pre-planned minute’s silence will be expanded to pay respects to Sir Bobby casino
A book of condolence will be open to fans and the public tomorrow (Sunday, 22 October) from 10am in the International Suite at Old Trafford casino
Charlton was an all-time great for Manchester United and England (PA Archive)United said in a statement: “Manchester United are in mourning following the passing of Sir Bobby Charlton, one of the greatest and most beloved players in the history of our club casino
“Sir Bobby was a hero to millions, not just in Manchester, or the United Kingdom, but wherever casino football is played around the world casino
“He was admired as much for his casino sportsmanship and integrity as he was for his outstanding qualities as a casino footballer; Sir Bobby will always be remembered as a giant of the game casino
“A graduate of our youth Academy, Sir Bobby played 758 games and scored 249 goals during 17 years as a Manchester United player, winning the European Cup, three league titles and the FA Cup casino
For England, he won 106 caps and scored 49 goals for England, and won the 1966 World Cup casino
“Following his retirement, he went on to serve the club with distinction as a director for 39 years casino
His unparalleled record of achievement, character and service will be forever etched in the history of Manchester United and English casino football; and his legacy will live on through the life-changing work of the Sir Bobby Charlton Foundation casino

We will never forget him & nor will all of casino football casino
A great colleague & friend, he will be sorely missed by all of the country beyond sport alone casino
Condolences to his family & friends from Geoff and Judith casino
”Former England captain Gary Lineker said: “For me England’s greatest ever player casino
“You can only judge players that you have seen in your lifetime and I was lucky enough to see Bobby Charlton play when I was a young boy casino
It’s a very sad day, he was one of my heroes, one of many people’s heroes casino

“You could go somewhere that no one spoke English but people would know Bobby Charlton casino
That was a true testament to the fame he had and a testament to his ability casino
”David Beckham, who followed Sir Bobby in captaining club and country, took to Instagram to pay his tribute casino
“It all began with Sir Bobby casino
Sir Bobby was the reason I had the opportunity to play for Manchester United,” wrote Beckham casino
“I will be forever grateful to a man I was named after, someone I looked up to and was a hero to many around the world not just in Manchester and our country where he won the World Cup in 1966 casino
“A true gentleman, family man and truly a national hero… Today isn’t just a sad day for Manchester United & England it’s a sad day for casino football and everything that Sir Bobby represented casino

Up into the stands the England players clambered to find their families, taking the consolatory hugs but unsure quite how to feel casino
Across 80 minutes in Paris, their belief had been replaced by disbelief and then by desperation and dejection, England threatening the unthinkable and taking the world champions to the brink casino
For most of a sodden Stade de France evening, a Rugby World Cup final was within their grasp casino
A South Africa side superior in most areas were dragged down into the sort of slugfest the Springboks would usually favour, and very nearly bested at their own game casino
England had given their all but it was still not enough, one stable scrum, one Handre Pollard slip or slice, short of stunning the world champions casino
The emotional maelstrom of this defeat will swirl rather differently to the feelings that eddied after the 2019 World Cup final disaster casino
“I’m proud of our performance,” were virtually the first words out of the mouth of wing Elliot Daly casino
“I think we shocked them casino
I don’t think they knew how to get into the game casino
”“I think we knew what was coming and we knew we could perform like this,” added Daly, virtually unused in open play but outstanding as a kick chaser to exemplify the squad’s buy-in to a strategy that so nearly proved successful casino
The finer points of Steve Borthwick’s tactical plan had been put in place this week but this was a performance England had been building towards since long ago casino
A flawed side did not come to France to thrill; winning by any means necessary had been a consistent theme casino
If necessity is oft the mother of invention, England at this tournament have also proved the pair can be enemies casino
This was a campaign at which they seemed to intentionally limit their attacking innovation or ingenuity– recognising a need to figure themselves out on the fly, they settled on an effective and eminently executable gameplan that could be implemented quickly casino
Steve Borthwick consoles Ellis Genge and Freddie Steward after England’s defeat (Getty Images)It came so close to working in Saturday’s semi-final; their effort, accuracy and competitiveness in the key contests were spot on casino
At the 65-minute mark, England outside backs had a combined 17 metres carried, all from one Freddie Steward kick return casino
The two number 13s’ offensive output on the final whistle amounted to one late Joe Marchant lug; South Africa centre Jesse Kriel went the full 80 minutes without an attacking touch casino
“We came with a plan to win the game but we fell a little bit short,” reflected Borthwick casino
“But the players should be incredibly proud casino
We put ourselves in a position to win against the world champions casino
England dominated the aerial contest to threaten a semi-final shock (Getty Images)“We were playing against a coaching team who have been in place since 2018 casino
We’ve had four months casino
I’ve asked the players to approach training and the game in a different way; for the players to be willing to change is all credit to them casino
”This was a night from which the head coach will take heart, a public perhaps struggling to warm to this England team are now recognising the progress made casino
There will be a need to layer on much, much more to consistently mix it with the world’s best but the rapidly laid foundations look rock solid casino
In time, perhaps the ugly duckling performances will turn into white swans casino
There appear to be many more buds of a bright future than first appeared in a barren landscape pre-tournament casino
Ben Earl has had a breakthrough tournament, and Ollie Chessum, too, while George Martin semi-final performance marks him out as the potential enforcer England have lacked casino
Borthwick was keen to talk up the absent Marcus Smith the day after the defeat, with the playmaker’s reinvention as a frolicking full-back of intrigue moving forward casino
"In our 23, seven players are 25 or under, the most of any semi-finalist, there’s a great blend and there will be lots of things we can take forward,” added Borthwick casino
Young England lock George Martin impressed against South Africa (Getty Images)But the fact that the men’s national team were on the brink of back-to-back finals should not provide a façade over the crumbling edifice of a fragile English game casino
There is a domestic mess that needs sorting, with a Gallagher Premiership containing three teams fewer than at the start of last season, now underway to little fanfare and on the brink of significant change casino
The renegotiation of the Professional Game Partnership is a recognition of a need for a radical overhaul in pursuit of a more financially sustainable domestic game, and one that produces a wider pool of top-class talent casino
The likely arrival of a form of central contracts underlines a period of epochal change casino
The senior figures in the squad who are unlikely to play beyond this tournament – Courtney Lawes, Ben Youngs, Dan Cole and perhaps a couple more – could well be the last England men’s internationals never to have been contracted to the union casino
This has a great many benefits, not least in affording Borthwick, or any head coach that might follow him, far greater access to and control over his players casino
And while Borthwick’s articulation of the advantages enjoyed by South Africa’s settled staff is a perfectly fair one, let us remember that the Rugby casino Football Union (RFU) put their head coach in this situation casino
The original planning for this tournament would most likely have seen Borthwick return to England camp to aid Eddie Jones at the World Cup before a smooth transition into the lead role afterwards casino
Jones’s sacking sparked a scramble and several months of chaos casino
It was not shown up on semi-final weekend but there are many reasons that the RFU still has a burden to bear casino
But the full wash-up will wait for another week – England’s performance at the Stade de France has earned them seven more days of grace casino
The tournament will end as it began for England with a meeting with Argentina in a third-place play-off that Borthwick insists he wants to win casino
England, captained by Owen Farrell, narrowly missed out on a place in the World Cup final (Getty Images)“I read a piece yesterday morning that talked about adversity and talked about the fact that in adversity you find that seed of belief and you’ve got to grow it,” Borthwick said casino
“This team has been through a bit in the last few years, a bit of adversity in the medium-term past casino
“I think through each of those periods the team has picked up lessons, picked up what we need to do and grown from it casino
I think there’s a lot of growth in this team casino
Sometimes it’s not the straight-forward path you want it to be casino
In the feelings and emotions of the game last night, I know that we’ll get stronger casino
