Many in Manchester have gathered today to attend the funeral of “one of the finest footballers this country has ever produced” according to Manchester United, Sir Bobby Charlton.
The England footballer died on October 21 aged 86, following an accidental fall at a nursing home in Knutsford, an inquest heard.
He played over 600 games for Manchester United, scoring just under 200 goals – and also played 106 times representing England in the 1966 World Cup.
Some well known faces paid their respects today such as Sir Gary Lineker and Sir Alex Ferguson.
The club said: “The Charlton family and Manchester United would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of love and respect towards Sir Bobby.”
