Tributes have poured in for legendary England and Manchester United soccer player Sir Bobby Charlton.
Emotions ran high in England over the weekend after it was announced that Bobby Charlton, widely regarded as the country’s greatest soccer player, had died on Saturday at the age of 86. Tributes were paid throughout the soccer world, with David Beckham and Prince William among those paying their respects to the World Cup winner, while pictures of the former Manchester United great adorned the front pages of England’s national newspapers.
He is not only regarded as one of England’s greatest sportsmen but as one of the finest soccer players of his era, alongside Pelé, Eusébio, Bobby Moore, Garrincha and Franz Beckenbauer. He won the Ballon d’Or in 1966 because of his excellence at that year’s World Cup. Charlton made 758 appearances for United, scoring 249 goals over his 17 years at the club, and won three league titles, the FA Cup and the European Cup – now known as the Champions League.
