News about Bobby Charlton

IAN HERBERT and SIMON JONES: There have been moments in the recent history of collisions between Manchester United and Liverpool, where grace under pressure from a promising young talent was all it took to prevail. This week, a teen Phil Thompson made his Liverpool debut for Bill Shankley's Old Trafford and almost immediately discovered George Best running toward him. Not bad for a replacement who had come on for John Toshack in an unaccustomed No 10 role. Shankham's players were imbued with such self-confidence. United's struggling under Frank O'Farrell after Sir Matt Busby stepped away, fielded Bobby Charlton and Denis Law, but the team lost 3-0. On Sunday, it is not a completely different dynamic.

Since a goalkeeper reacted angrily to an opponent's Panenka-style penalty, a Brazilian football clip has gone viral. Following Antonin Panenka's breakthrough spot kick for Czechoslovakia against West Germany in 1976, where he lifted the ball to deceive a diving shot stopper, the move has gained a lot of attention among many football fans. A goalkeeper in Brazil was less interested in the rival's behavior during a penalty shootout moment shared on Instagram earlier this month.

OLIVER HOLT: Any list - your list as well as mine - can be dominated by those who are not on it. However, it should really be about the participants who are on it. This list is meant to be a salute to them and of football's rich, rich past, as well as what the game means to all of us and what players represent and why they capture something in us. You'll disagree with some of the names on the list, and you'll be correct. Another man's garbage is another man's treasure. The depth of our passion for the game and the ferocity of our opinions about the players are only two of the factors that make football so beautiful.

Wembley, as they say. With a simple aim that could have major repercussions, a boy from Brazil with music in his soul took over this grand old stage by storm. Endrick has been promising to burst out of world football for months, preparing for Real Madrid in the summer, dubbed the country's next outstanding talent out of a region with the most impressive track record. He pounced to score the first international goal at the iconic stadium in the 80th minute of Saturday's friendly against England.

IAN HERBERT: Pele, the 25-year-old boy who stepped out from a wooden cabin on Scotland's west coast in 1966, was immaculately dressed as the Brazilian football team was back then, boots polished to a shine, and white towel in hand. He was already a superstar on his own when he competed for the Jules Rimet trophy on English soil in July, but the Brazilian team had to prepare for Troon's improvable surrounds. The climate was supposed to suit them, but the Marine, a fine hotel, was still standing two miles up the road today, although it was not made clear that it would. They were unemployed, according to the news. It was the talk of a hosiery factory near Kilmarnock, where Elsie Cook, a knitter, became aware of the alert when one of the company's mechanics noticed it while trying to repair one of the machines.

Franz Beckenbauer died at the age of 78. The German legend spoke to Mail Sport's Jeff Powell ahead of the 2016 World Cup final in Wembley, Germany.

Antoine Mille, a French footballer, scored a penalty in his team's shootout victory over Les Herbiers, making him a contender for the worst Panenka of all time. Following a 2-2 draw between the two teams, who both play in the French third tier, the French Cup game came to spot-kicks. In the shootout, Chateauroux were victorious, winning 4-3, but not without Mille's disastrous attempt at a Penenka penalty. The striker, who had already started scoring for his team during the 90 minutes, stepped up to take the kick but it went horribly wrong from there. As the ball just trickled off the forward's feet and rolled into goalkeeper Teo Hamelin's arms, his cheeky Panenka failed miserably.

Andrew Knott, 65, was given the Mexico 70 world cup's almost complete sticker book as a 12th birthday gift from his auntie, 53 years ago. It features some of football's most popular figures, including England's Bobby Charlton, Franz Beckenbauer of Germany, Portugal's Eusébio, and Brazil's Pelé. When the album commemorating the tournament from over a half-century ago goes under the hammer on December 5, it could sell for £11,800 to £11,800. If it sells for the higher estimate, it would go beyond the record-breaking £1,550 earned for another 1970 Panini album back in 2018.

The late Sir Bobby Charlton, who died on Friday night, was paid a personal respect by Wembley in honor of England's Euro 2024 qualifying match against Malta. Sir Bobby, who is widely regarded as one of the best players to ever grace the game, died in April at the age of 86 following a battle with dementia. The gifted footballer was born in Ashington, Northumberland, on October 11 1937 and was instrumental in England's 1966 World Cup triumphs. He made 758 appearances for Man United while still earning 106 caps for his adopted country and has a stand at Old Trafford named after him.

On the same day as the Manchester United and England icon's funeral was held in Ghana, Sir Bobby Charlton's funeral took place in Ghana. Fans descended on Tesano, a suburb of Argentina's capital Accra, on Monday, witnessing supporters marching out to perform the funeral rites for Charlton at an outdoor venue festooned with photos of the 1966 World Cup champion. Supporters at the festival were dressed in funereal garb with hints of United red, and there were songs sung, musical performances, and addresses given by the event's promoters.

On an emotional day, Charlton's family and United supporters and players, both past and present, bid their final farewell to the all-time great. Hundreds of people gathered on the streets to watch Charlton's funeral cortege arrive at Old Trafford, where it was welcomed with applause before heading to Manchester Cathedral. Charlton, a United Kingdom tribute who made 758 appearances for United, has died at the age of 86. A number of well-known figures from the game, including Ferguson, a close friend of Charlton, were on hand for the service and expressed their gratitude. Canon Nigel Ashworth led the service, although family members and club representatives provided eulogies. It will be kept private and not filmed.

When the eulogies are read at Sir Bobby Charlton's memorial service on Monday afternoon, it is likely that he once played for Waterford. It could be a little eyebrows, as it were. Charlton is regarded as a hero for England and Manchester United, not to mention a superb guy on and off the track who has won global renown. But how did Charlton come to play four matches for a League of Ireland outfit during the twilight of his career?

Sir Bobby Charlton's brother Tommy is leading tributes to the former Manchester United legend ahead of his funeral. Tommy, 77, of Sir Bobby, claims that the United and England icon has been reunited with their older sibling Jack Charlton in heaven. Sir Bobby, who died last month after a fall at a care home where he was suffering from dementia, will say goodbye to him.

A minute of applause was granted, and club greats from United and City gathered around the center circle, while a large banner was unveiled. 'Sir Bobby Charlton, 1937-23: Forever Loved', Mike Summerbee, John Aston, John Aston, Alex Stepney, Brian Kidd, and Tony Book stood together around a memorial service.'

Sir Alex Ferguson has written a touching eulogy about his "tower of strength" Sir Bobby Charlton as respects are paid at Sunday's Manchester derby. It's the first time Ferguson has discussed Sir Bobby's death at the age of 86, dedicating a moving 1,000-word tribute in the matchday program. Sir Alex, who died before his wife Lady Cathy died this month, recalls his first glimpse of Charlton the player from the beginning of their relationship together in Old Trafford, when Sir Bobby sat on the board and was Ferguson's most faithful supporter.

GRAEME SOUNESS: It's not an assertion that I'd make about any other player, but I can say with some certainty that I would not have feared dealing with Bobby Charlton on a football field because of the possibility of injuring him. That's the stature and the golden aura that Sir Bobby carried. Our careers never crossed over, but I am of a generation who lived firsthand the Munich Disaster, which stripped Manchester United of the club's most gifted young players, to win the European Cup in 1968.

During Sir Bobby Charlton's match against FC Copenhagen on Tuesday, Erik ten Hag led the tributes before laying a wreath on the field. United is facing the Danish outfit in the Champions League just three days after Sir Bobby, who is widely regarded as one of the best players to ever grace the game, died of dementia at the age of 86.

Sir Bobby Charlton's emotional at Old Trafford ahead of their match against FC Copenhagen. Just three days after Sir Bobby, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest players to ever grace the game, died at the age of 86 after a struggle with dementia, Erik ten Hag's team takes on the Danish outfit in the Champions League. The gifted footballer was born in Ashington, Northumberland, on October 11 1937, and was instrumental in England's 1966 World Cup glory.

United boss Erik ten Hag poured a wreath on the side of the field ahead of their Champions League match with Danish side Copenhagen, and both teams stepped out from the tunnel with a bagpipe player. But an unexpected result was the participation of the away fans, not only respectfully attended the proceedings but also sympathetically paid the respects to the late king. Fans of Copenhagen could have been heard before the game, with Red Devils supporters in full voice as they sang, "One Bobby Charlton."

Liverpool won the bragging rights on Merseyside and Chelsea discarded a lucrative position to draw with London rivals Arsenal over the weekend. Manchester City returned to winning ways following back-to-back league losses, and Manchester United's Sir Bobby Charlton's memory at Sheffield United was restored just hours after his death was announced. Newcastle soared to fifth position with a four-goal thumping of Crystal Palace, but Aston Villa was able to overtake them with a four-star performance against West Ham. Wolves beat Bournemouth's Gary O'Neil, while Burnley, a struggling group, was comfortably defeated at Brentford and Luton, who then tied at Nottingham Forest. Nonetheless, Tottenham reached the top of the table with a stumbling victory over Fulham over Ange Postecoglou. Here's a look at what we learned from the Premier League's most recent weekend.

OLIVER HOLT: In the late 1970s in the United States, television presenters and then followers referred to the Dallas Cowboys as 'America's Team.' Back in the days when the Cowboys were great, they were fashionable, and they sold out their games, and they haven't been to the Super Bowl since 1996. We never did anything with Manchester United when they were kings in the 1950s and 1960s. Schmaltz was never our thing. However, that did not change the fact that there was an eerily sense that they were 'England's Team'.
