Two elderly men were suited soccer
In one case, he was much smarter than normal, dressed up for the occasion soccer
He was the taller, more angular, with the more pronounced Northumbrian accent, but the resemblance was nonetheless apparent soccer
He was the older, too, and had long referred to a knight of the realm as “Our Kid” soccer
He adopted a slightly more formal approach, while seemingly choking up soccer
“Bobby Charlton is the greatest player I’ve ever seen,” he said soccer
“He’s me brother soccer
”It was 15 years ago, when Jack Charlton presented his younger brother with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC soccer Sports Personality of the Year award soccer
The clip has an added poignancy after Bobby’s death at 86; three years ago, a couple of months after his 85th birthday, Jack had died soccer
The brothers were different players and very different characters – the wisecracking, outspoken Jack was more of a man of the people, but Bobby’s quiet dignity gave him a statesmanlike air soccer
They were not always close but their achievements will live on soccer
There have been 22 men’s soccer football World Cups and only two sets of brothers have won the most prestigious of prizes: Fritz and Ottmar Walter for West Germany in 1954, Bobby and Jack Charlton at West Germany’s expense in 1966 soccer
It remains the most famous year in English soccer football history; perhaps it always will soccer
At the heart of it was Bobby Charlton: the 1966 FWA soccer Footballer of the Year and Ballon d’Or winner, named by France soccer Football – in the days before Fifa had an official award – as the best player at the World Cup soccer
Gary Lineker, who was a goal away from equalling Charlton’s long-standing national record of 49 for his country, called him England’s greatest ever player, Gary Neville, one of his successors as Manchester United captain, deemed him the greatest ever English player soccer
They are not necessarily the same: but in Charlton’s case, he could be both soccer
Perhaps only the other immortal Bobby – Moore, the 1966 captain – can challenge him for the title of the finest in an England shirt soccer
RecommendedSir Bobby Charlton turned tragedy into triumph with unique style and perseveranceFans lay flowers and scarves at Old Trafford following death of Bobby CharltonTributes paid to ‘giant of the game’ Sir Bobby Charlton after his death at 86Charlton was the second English soccer footballer, and just the third man, to reach 100 caps soccer
His 106th and last, in the 1970 quarter-final against West Germany, set a world record that Moore – and then many others – subsequently passed soccer
He straddled eras – his first cap came alongside Tom Finney, who debuted in England’s first match after the Second World War, and one of the last alongside Emlyn Hughes, who represented his country in the 1980s – but defined one, a time of glory soccer
Thirty years before Frank Skinner and David Baddiel sang about soccer football coming home, Charlton brought it back soccer
Their lyric – “Bobby belting the ball” – conjured images, some in colour, some in black and white, of a figure with a combover hairstyle and the cannonball shot striking the ball with beautiful ferocity, often rising throughout its way into the net soccer

Consider his opener against Mexico, England’s first of the 1966 World Cup, from such a distance that the chance of it going in was statistically low, except for one factor: that Charlton, with such power on either foot, was hitting it soccer
He was the master of the long-range hit: if most of Lineker’s 48 goals were predatory finishes, many of Charlton’s 49 were spectacular soccer
Such a clean striker of a ball was not a striker at all: largely a left winger in his younger days, later the attacking-midfield fulcrum of Sir Alf Ramsey’s ‘Wingless Wonders’ soccer
He began in the old W-M formation, ended up as, in effect, the tip of a midfield diamond soccer
It was a tactical shift, a belated move into modernity that Ramsey brought soccer
If there was a pragmatism to England’s World Cup win, Charlton was the artist soccer
With his brace against Portugal in the 1966 semi-final – like another double against Portuguese opposition, Benfica, in the 1968 European Cup final – he illustrated his talent could shine on the biggest of occasions soccer
The 1966 semi-final was not seen by his father, Robert, a coal miner working a shift underground in his home town of Ashington; “his duty”, Bobby subsequently, and remarkably, reflected soccer
On the grandest stage of all, the 1966 final, he was sacrificed, Charlton and Franz Beckenbauer deputed to man-mark each other soccer
They received the same assignment in the 1970 quarter-final; England’s era of ascendency ended when Ramsey removed Charlton with 20 minutes remaining to save him for the semi-final, the 32-year-old distracted by the prospect of his withdrawal as Beckenbauer ran forward to reduce England’s lead to 2-1; without him, they lost 3-2 soccer
Ramsey thanked him for his service on the plane back from Mexico: Bobby knew his England career, like Jack’s, was over soccer

But for Garrincha’s brilliance, Charlton wondered if England would have been victorious in the 1962 quarter-final against Brazil, and then the tournament as a whole soccer
He went to four World Cups in all, not taking the field in his first: time has rendered it more extraordinary that his England debut came in 1958, a couple of months after the Munich air disaster soccer
He scored, too, but if a poorer performance on his third cap was understandable – it came in Belgrade, scene of the Busby Babes’ last game before Munich – it cost him his place in Walter Winterbottom’s starting 11 in Sweden soccer
Were Duncan Edwards, Roger Byrne, Tommy Taylor and Eddie Colman to have lived, perhaps England would have won more and sooner soccer
But it was Charlton who became the emblem of English soccer football; the face of what is now a bygone age soccer
In its own way, it felt appropriate that a man who carried a huge responsibility for decades was the last survivor among the players at Munich; now it may be fitting that Geoff Hurst, who had the final say in 1966, is the last of Ramsey’s chosen 11, forever charged with paying tributes to his fallen comrades soccer
And Bobby Charlton, the greatest player Jack ever saw, the greatest to have Three Lions on his shirt, took England to the summit of the global game soccer

Liverpool and Egypt forward Mohamed Salah has called for the massacres in the Israeli-Hamas conflict to stop and for immediate humanitarian aid to be allowed into Gaza soccer
Hundreds of Palestinian civilians were killed in a massive blast at a Gaza City hospital on Tuesday, while concerns grow as supplies of water and food ran out soccer
Both Israel and Hamas have issued rival claims about the atrocity feared to have killed at least 500 soccer
Israel has said it will allow Egypt to deliver limited quantities of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip amid its siege following surprise attacks by Hamas on October 7 soccer
Salah had already made what was described as a “significant” undisclosed donation, via his agent, to humanitarian organisation the Egyptian Red Crescent Society in support of the people of Gaza soccer
In a video post on social media during Wednesday evening, Salah called the scenes at the hospital “horrifying” and for leaders to come together to “prevent the further slaughter of innocent souls” soccer
Salah said: “It is not always easy to speak in times like this soccer
There has been too much violence and too much heartbreak and brutality soccer
“The escalations in the recent weeks is unbearable to witness soccer
All lives are sacred and must be protected soccer
The massacres need to stop soccer
Families are being torn apart soccer
“What is clear now is humanitarian aid to Gaza must be allowed immediately soccer
The people there are in terrible conditions soccer
“The scenes at the hospital last night were horrifying soccer
The people of Gaza need food, water and medical supplies urgently soccer
“I am calling on the world leaders to come together to prevent the further slaughter of innocent souls – humanity must prevail soccer
”Last week, the Government encouraged soccer sports bodies in the UK to pay respects to the victims of the recent violence in Israel and the Gaza strip soccer
It is understood the Department for Culture, Media and Sport had written to various governing bodies suggesting they pay tribute in an appropriate manner at forthcoming events soccer
While the Government has expressed its steadfast support of Israel, the soccer Football Association opted not to light up the Wembley arch with the colours of the Israel flag for England’s friendly against Australia last Friday soccer
England players wore black armbands during that match and a period of silence was held before kick-off to respect “the innocent victims of the devastating events in Israel and Palestine” soccer
The PA news agency understands Israel and Palestine flags will not be allowed into stadiums for Premier League matches from this weekend soccer
In a bid to ensure top-flight grounds are not used by supporters of either side of the escalating Middle East conflict to voice their protests, the Star of David flag and the flag of Palestine will be banned soccer
