yeah. wonder what duncan said about bobby though.

when I was a kid I used think Bobby was God, not in an Cantona like footballing sense but in a sitting on a white cloud doing good sort of a way.

Thumbs up Re: Sir Bobby Charlton Tribute

Leading the team to pick up the European Cup in Moscow was a great moment. Nobody expected it, our whole end fell silent for a couple of seconds as we saw him going up the stairs, then went a little mental The man just oozed dignity and class

Was even better given that Chelsea were led up by that little scheister Kenyon, soaking in his cheap looking suit. Gulf in class.

Yep.
I've just edited my post on the first page to mention that.
He did it in such a humble way (didn't he refuse to put the medal around his neck??)

Platini wanted to put one round him, but Bobby refused

I might have been dancing around like a mad inebriated goon* at the time, but I noticed that and got all maudlin. Top red.

Great vid

edit* Just to add that I love that goal in front of the Kop where Bestie plays that little reverse pass to him & he drives it like a £#%&!ing arrow into the far corner ...& I love his reaction to the Moscow win!..never seen that before. I loved how humble he was when he lead the team up to pick up the Trophy that night...I cried like a baby tbh
I was like this watching that bit.

Great video. As Hark says suffered from not having the charisma George and Denis had. But undoubtedly affected by the events of Munich. Fantastic player.
