Ex lads fan who drove the mini-bus to the 1937 fa cup final .
 


I've heard this exact quote attributed to about 15 different people, i don't know why because it wasn't funny even the first time.

The kind of shite that exists to get likes on Facebook i'd wager.
 
Didn't think Bobby Charlton had a sense of humour. Sorry this is SEB.
 
This is a rehashed joke from the great Sir Donald Bradman.

"An apocryphal story goes that a journalist asked Sir Donald Bradman, at a time when the Australian batsmen were giving the hapless England bowlers a particularly torrid time, how he thought he would have fared against that crop of bowlers? After some thought, Bradman opined that he would average around 60. Stunned, the incredulous journalist continued, but Sir Donald, you averaged 99 in your career, why only 60 against this lot? Well, responded the great man with a cheeky grin, I am in my 80s you know!"

Conducted himself with class throughout his long career. Went through the awful air tragedy as nowt but a young lad and came back to see his one club win the European Cup..as usual he had a huge part with that header...scored the first goal to relieve the tension in the World Cup in 66 and scored the two that got us to the final.

We would have beaten W. Germany in 1970 if Alf hadn't taken him off at two up, which then allowed Beckenbaur to then move forward..yep, he was shit scared of Charlton so he stayed deep until then..Has remained loyal to his club and his country and has made nowhere near the amount of money that..well,... Sterling has in the game.

One of the true English greats..not a Gazza fuck up or a Wayne Rooney can't do it when it really matters (both excellent players but fall short of the great moniker).

So what the fuck if Jackie doesn't speak to him? Did anyone see that twat play for Leeds? Him and Revie began the practise of having a big fucker stand right next to the goalie at corners. If there was a cxxx in that family then anyone in the stands in the '60s knew who that was. Oh, but Jackie can tell a good joke and drink a few pints.

Bobbie Charlton is one of the few..very few.. English footballing greats. Never disgraced either the strip he wore nor his heritage. The only thing people could get him on was his comb over.

Tell you what, he wouldn't have choked against Iceland. 'Cos he saw a dozen of his team mates die in front of his eyes on a fog covered runway. What's a World Cup semi-final on home soil compared to that? Fuck all. As for a quarter against iceland? -0 oops it wasn't even that - well give us a break.


And fuck him too for that 119th minute equaliser in the sixth round replay in '64. We'd have won the Cup. The bastard. But that was Bobby Charlton. Cool as f***ing ice..and that ladies and gentleman was a hot f***ing night - George Best spewing his guts in the Man Utd dressing room pre-game.. but when it mattered, in the last minute then there that twat was. Nah, as a young lad that night I hoped for a split second he'd miss..but no, it was Bobby Charlton. Nerves? He'd seen brains spilled.

Yes. cool as ice. 'Cos watching people die in front of you sort of makes it not that big a deal to score a goal when needed - at Roker Park in thast crazy night in 64, Against Benfica in the Final - to recognise those dead Busby babes - and portugal in the semi of the world thingy..

A great Englishman.

The post of the decade.
The cynicism on here, they hammer the lily livered failures of today but snipe at a player who achieved it all for his country and his club, a true great.
Is any fucker immune from it all?
The man was a giant.
