Sir Robert Bobby Charlton is one of the most esteemed and respected footballers of all time. As a midfielder he was feared by opponents for his attacking instincts, and dangerous long-line shots. Playing for Manchester United he found himself considered a veteran at the age of just 20 after the Munich air disaster in 1958, which decimated the club when eight of its players were killed. New coach Matt Busby would rebuild the team in the next decade, and Busby's Babes, George Best, Denis Law and Bobby Charlton, became fan favorites and an inspiration to the team.
