I made a pilgrimage to Ashington a couple of weeks back whilst on a family holiday in Northumberland. I recreated the picture post Munich (I think?) of Bobby playing football in Beatrice Street with the local kids with my 3 year old son. We then went round the corner and had a kick about on Hirst Park for a bit.

As a kid I grew up in Flixton near Woodsend. Bobby lived there too and frequented the newsagents where I would later be a paper boy. I never saw him about but my Dad would see him occasionally. I saw more of Sammy Mac who lived there (Sidmouth Ave) after Bobby. How times have changed!

Bobby is often portrayed as a bit of a snob. I wouldn't know if that's true or not but you can see from that clip that he's a genuine person who was clearly affected by the tragic events of Munich (Who wouldn't be?)

Bobby Charlton - A true legend of the game.

Interesting letter in UWS regarding bobby, apparently he and gill were being entertained by bursa directors the evening before the match and some united supporters had a go about the gimps. Bobby spoke with the united supporters and the writer of the letter felt that he should apologise because he felt the timing was nor right. Bobby told him that he should stand up with them as it cannot get any worse, not sure if true but if it is then p45 for Mr charlton

Apologies, on my phone, basically the writer of the letter was told by sir bobby that he should stand by the anti Gimp people and that things are pretty shot at united, not sure how true, it was from a letter sent in to yes, if true ir just means that sir bobby is not entirely happy with the way things are.
