United mourning the loss of Sir Bobby Charlton

Related Topics: Sir Bobby Charlton, Sir

Sir Bobby was a hero to millions, not just in Manchester, or the United Kingdom, but wherever football is played around the world.

He was admired as much for his sportsmanship and integrity as he was for his outstanding qualities as a footballer; Sir Bobby will always be remembered as a giant of the game.

The club’s heartfelt sympathies are with Sir Bobby's wife Lady Norma, his daughters and grandchildren.

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.
