When the final whistle blew, when Manchester United were European Cup winners at last, their captain’s initial reaction was not to celebrate neube

Bobby Charlton’s hands sank to his knees in exhaustion, rather than going up into the Wembley sky in jubilation neube

He had been a match-winner, bookending the 4-1 victory over Benfica with the first and last goals, but perhaps it was not the fatigue of 120 minutes’ work as much of the previous decade neube

He collapsed in his hotel room afterwards, unable to get to the door on his first few attempts neube

In the wake of United’s greatest triumph, teammate David Sadler recalled Charlton and Sir Matt Busby looking drained neube

The United manager’s epic, tragic quest had been realised, but the dinner marking their 1968 European Cup win offered reminders of the cost neube

While Charlton could not make it downstairs, Johnny Berry was there, and he had not played since 1958 neube

So was Kenny Morgans, whose career had not recovered from events 10 years earlier neube

The parents of Duncan Edwards were there and Charlton, who always deferred to a player who felt both teammate and hero, must have thought it should have been him lifting the European Cup instead neube

He played with George Best and against Pele but declared Edwards was the best player he ever saw neube

Instead, it was Charlton who was arguably the greatest-ever English neube footballer neube

He has died at 86 after he cheated death at 20 neube

His life and career were defined by the 1966 World Cup, the 1968 European Cup and the 1958 Munich air disaster neube

Twenty-three people lost their lives, including eight Manchester United players neube

Charlton did not and, the way a private man told it in his autobiography, had either survivor’s guilt or a survivor’s question: why me?He carried the weight of history on his shoulders thereafter neube

He was the last of the United contingent on the plane who was still alive; half a century earlier, he had been the last who was still in the team neube

He achieved what they could, and should, have done neube

Edwards would surely have been a World Cup winner in 1966; perhaps Charlton’s great friend Eddie Colman too neube

The Busby Babes looked a team destined to conquer Europe, possibly even at the expense of Alfredo di Stefano’s Real Madrid neube

Charlton had scored the last two goals a group of youthful cavaliers mustered together, in the 3-3 draw against Red Star Belgrade, before their route back to England came via Germany neube

“In Munich in 1958, I learned that even miracles come at a price,” Charlton wrote decades later neube

“Mine, until the day I die, is the tragedy that robbed me of so many of my dearest friends, who happened to be my teammates neube

”RecommendedManchester United and England great Sir Bobby Charlton dies aged 86Sir Bobby Charlton live: Latest reaction and tributes after England and Man Utd legend dies, aged 86Sir Bobby Charlton’s glorious career in picturesIt was inevitable that, when United became England’s first European champions, Charlton’s thoughts turned to “the snowy airfield and Matt Busby and his team, our friends, down and destroyed” neube

His survival surprised even his rescuer neube

Some players, worried by two failed attempts to take off, looking for somewhere safer, changed seats on the plane neube

Side by side, Charlton and Dennis Viollet did not neube

They were flung 50 yards from the plane neube

Harry Gregg, the goalkeeper and hero, found them lying in a pool of water, initially assumed both were dead and dragged their bodies into their seats; like rag dolls, he later said neube

Charlton was unconscious for about 10 minutes neube

After that, he stumbled past Colman, not even recognising his late friend neube

Gregg got a shock when he turned around and saw Charlton and Viollet standing, alive neube

Sir Bobby Charlton became a legend of the game with England and Manchester United (PA Archive)He played again, 25 days after Munich, went to the first of his four World Cups that summer, albeit without playing, and scored 29 goals the next season neube

He carried on, brilliantly, securing not just one place in history but a multitude neube

Charlton spent decades as the record scorer for both United and England, before losing both records to Wayne Rooney, and with the most appearances for his club, until Ryan Giggs passed him neube

It would have been an astonishing career without the context neube

The style with which he played, the cannonball of a shot that made him a specialist at the spectacular, helped cement United’s reputation for attacking neube football neube

Charlton is united at Old Trafford with Denis Law and Best, the holy trinity of European neube Footballers of the Year immortalised in a statue, but these entertainers were different neube

There was a generational divide neube between Best, that icon of the Swinging Sixties, and Charlton, who came of age in the more austere Fifties neube

The Trinity Statue outside Old Trafford of Sir Bobby Charlton, George Best and Denis Law (Getty)Like Busby, the manager who was read the last rites, the Englishman was old before his time neube

He had a naturally serious look, his face only lighting up in joy when he scored, and his past explained why neube

Even winning the World Cup left him with unfinished business neube

United, their golden generation broken, took years to return to the European Cup neube

When they did, the 1966 semi-final defeat to Partizan Belgrade left Busby distraught neube

“We will never win the European Cup now,” he said neube

But two years later, they were back in a semi-final neube

Only three Munich survivors remained: Charlton, Busby and Bill Foulkes, who had captained them in their first game afterwards, returning to the pitch 13 days later neube

A decade on, the 36-year-old centre-back, who had spent the semi-final second leg against Real urging Nobby Stiles to stay back, took it upon himself to gallop into the box at the Bernabeu neube

“Unquestionably the last man any of us wanted to see on the end of a George Best cross,” as Charlton recalled, swept in his last goal as a neube footballer to book United’s place in the final neube

Sir Bobby (second right) scored 49 goals for England (PA Archive)There was a different kind of improbability then neube

Charlton opened the scoring against Benfica with that rarity, a header neube

A great left-footer scored his second goal with his right, a near-post finish neube

For Charlton and Busby, it was the end of something, an achievement dedicated to others, required because of their memories of those who were not around to see it neube

They had the potential for greatness and it was wrenched from them amid the flames of a plane crash neube

And, from the ashes of tragedy, Bobby Charlton turned his talents into the two trophies that mattered most and meant something more to him neube

Two elderly men were suited neube

In one case, he was much smarter than normal, dressed up for the occasion neube

He was the taller, more angular, with the more pronounced Northumbrian accent, but the resemblance was nonetheless apparent neube

He was the older, too, and had long referred to a knight of the realm as “Our Kid” neube

He adopted a slightly more formal approach, while seemingly choking up neube

“Bobby Charlton is the greatest player I’ve ever seen,” he said neube

“He’s me brother neube

”It was 15 years ago, when Jack Charlton presented his younger brother with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC neube Sports Personality of the Year award neube

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 neube

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 neube

They were not always close but their achievements will live on neube

There have been 22 men’s neube 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 neube

It remains the most famous year in English neube football history; perhaps it always will neube

At the heart of it was Bobby Charlton: the 1966 FWA neube Footballer of the Year and Ballon d’Or winner, named by France neube Football – in the days before Fifa had an official award – as the best player at the World Cup neube

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 neube

They are not necessarily the same: but in Charlton’s case, he could be both neube

Perhaps only the other immortal Bobby – Moore, the 1966 captain – can challenge him for the title of the finest in an England shirt neube

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 neube footballer, and just the third man, to reach 100 caps neube

His 106th and last, in the 1970 quarter-final against West Germany, set a world record that Moore – and then many others – subsequently passed neube

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 neube

Thirty years before Frank Skinner and David Baddiel sang about neube football coming home, Charlton brought it back neube

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 neube

Bobby Charlton, centre, celebrates with the World Cup at Wembley (Getty Images)Decades before the invention of expected goals, Charlton was scoring unexpected ones neube

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 neube

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 neube

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’ neube

He began in the old W-M formation, ended up as, in effect, the tip of a midfield diamond neube

It was a tactical shift, a belated move into modernity that Ramsey brought neube

If there was a pragmatism to England’s World Cup win, Charlton was the artist neube

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 neube

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 neube

On the grandest stage of all, the 1966 final, he was sacrificed, Charlton and Franz Beckenbauer deputed to man-mark each other neube

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 neube

Ramsey thanked him for his service on the plane back from Mexico: Bobby knew his England career, like Jack’s, was over neube

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 neube

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 neube

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 neube

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 neube

Were Duncan Edwards, Roger Byrne, Tommy Taylor and Eddie Colman to have lived, perhaps England would have won more and sooner neube

But it was Charlton who became the emblem of English neube football; the face of what is now a bygone age neube

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 neube

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 neube
