JOHNNY GILES: Nobby Stiles was one of life's good guys, a gentleman. In over 60 years of friendship we only ever had one cross-word - when Leeds beat Man United in an FA Cup semi-final replay he told me to 'f**k off'!

Nobby Stiles, a member of the England team which lifted the World Cup in 1966, has died aged 78.

The legendary midfielder was also part of the Manchester United side which won the European Cup two years later after beating Benfica.

Here, Leeds legend Johnny Giles tells Sportsmail's Craig Hope about his brilliant brother-in-law...

Nobby Stiles was married to my sister, Kay, and she didn't half pick a good 'un.

Myself and Nobby were young players at Manchester United when I brought him over to Dublin for a two-week holiday.
