He really was a wonderful player and boy could he hit a ball.

Couldn’t find out on Google if Beckenbauer is the only German left from ‘66 Final. Edit...just discovered that Wolfgang Overath is still here, so that’s at least three still going out of the 22.

Re: Bobby Charlton RIP

A genuine great of the game - England were struggling in 1966 until he scored that cracker in their second game against Mexico. So fitting that he scored two in the 68 European Cup Final after what he went through ten years earlier.

RIP

Schnellinger, Schulz, Weber and Siggi Held are still alive as well. Six Germans still alive, remarkable really.

Re: Bobby Charlton RIP

My dad (who passed in 1994) had very little interest in football but he had an empathy for the Manure post Munich and Bobby Charlton in particular. Therefore this is more than a sad day for me, it’s the loss of another linkage to my childhood.

RIP Bobby, a gentleman, great footballer and true legend.

Incredible life.

Great footballer
Inspiration to so many footballers after him.
Inspired kids kicking footballs around the streets to emulate him.
A legend & A National Treasure.

Knighthoods get chucked around way too easily, this man deserved it...
