For England, he won 106 caps and scored 49 goals for England, and won the 1966 World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFollowing his retirement, he went on to serve the club with distinction as a director for 39 years. His unparalleled record of achievement, character and service will be forever etched in the history of Manchester United and English football; and his legacy will live on through the life-changing work of the Sir Bobby Charlton Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe club\u2019s heartfelt sympathies are with his wife Lady Norma, his daughters and grandchildren, and all who loved him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/sport\/football\/bobby-charlton-dead-world-cup-1966-man-utd-b2433694.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bobby Charlton lifted the European Cup with Manchester United in 1968 (PA) Charlton was an all-time great for Manchester United [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":294946,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
