Two elderly men were suited poker
In one case, he was much smarter than normal, dressed up for the occasion poker
He was the taller, more angular, with the more pronounced Northumbrian accent, but the resemblance was nonetheless apparent poker
He was the older, too, and had long referred to a knight of the realm as “Our Kid” poker
He adopted a slightly more formal approach, while seemingly choking up poker
“Bobby Charlton is the greatest player I’ve ever seen,” he said poker
“He’s me brother poker
”It was 15 years ago, when Jack Charlton presented his younger brother with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC poker Sports Personality of the Year award poker
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 poker
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 poker
They were not always close but their achievements will live on poker
There have been 22 men’s poker 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 poker
It remains the most famous year in English poker football history; perhaps it always will poker
At the heart of it was Bobby Charlton: the 1966 FWA poker Footballer of the Year and Ballon d’Or winner, named by France poker Football – in the days before Fifa had an official award – as the best player at the World Cup poker
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 poker
They are not necessarily the same: but in Charlton’s case, he could be both poker
Perhaps only the other immortal Bobby – Moore, the 1966 captain – can challenge him for the title of the finest in an England shirt poker
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 poker footballer, and just the third man, to reach 100 caps poker
His 106th and last, in the 1970 quarter-final against West Germany, set a world record that Moore – and then many others – subsequently passed poker
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 poker
Thirty years before Frank Skinner and David Baddiel sang about poker football coming home, Charlton brought it back poker
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 poker

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 poker
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 poker
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’ poker
He began in the old W-M formation, ended up as, in effect, the tip of a midfield diamond poker
It was a tactical shift, a belated move into modernity that Ramsey brought poker
If there was a pragmatism to England’s World Cup win, Charlton was the artist poker
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 poker
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 poker
On the grandest stage of all, the 1966 final, he was sacrificed, Charlton and Franz Beckenbauer deputed to man-mark each other poker
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 poker
Ramsey thanked him for his service on the plane back from Mexico: Bobby knew his England career, like Jack’s, was over poker
Bobby Charlton in action against his brother Jack (PA Archive)It could have been still more glorious: keep Charlton on and maybe England would have prevailed in 1970 poker
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 poker
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 poker
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 poker
Were Duncan Edwards, Roger Byrne, Tommy Taylor and Eddie Colman to have lived, perhaps England would have won more and sooner poker
But it was Charlton who became the emblem of English poker football; the face of what is now a bygone age poker
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 poker
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 poker
