The footballing world lost one of its greats as Sir Bobby passed away on 21st October 2023. Sir Bobby Charlton was indeed one of the greatest players to play this beautiful game. Sir Bobby played as an attacking midfielder, central midfielder and even as the left winger. He was a prolific goal scorer for both his club and country. 

The man who rose from the ranks. The man who overcame the tragedies. He was the part of the legendary Busby Babes who ruled the English Football in the 1950s. However, the Munich Disaster of 1958 took them away from us. Luckily Sir Bobby survived the Munich Aircraft Disaster. But it was never going to be easy to come out of that trauma. 

However, Sir Bobby with his sheer dedication and will power became one of the best players the beautiful game has ever seen. He won it all. The Leagues, The FA Cups, The Champions League, The World Cup as well as the Ballon D'Or. However, it is not only because of the trophies and honors that he is remembered but, also because of his ethics on and off the field. His conduct defines the tradition in which the beautiful game has to be played. 

One will always fall short of words while talking about Sir Bobby Charlton. However, Gary Nevile has given a beautiful tribute to Sir Bobby in his recent podcast.
