Sir Bobby Charlton, the World Cup winner and European Cup winner who is one of England and Manchester United’s greatest-ever players, has died at the age of 86 casino
Charlton, who won the 1966 Ballon d’Or, became the record goalscorer for both United and England in a career where he became known for his casino sportsmanship and dignity as well as his flair on the ball and his ferocious shot casino
A survivor of the 1958 Munich air disaster, Charlton went on to lift the European Cup a decade later, captaining Sir Matt Busby’s team and scoring twice in the 4-1 win over Benfica in the final casino
Two years earlier, he had been a fundamental part of the only England team to win the World Cup, scoring both goals in the semi-final win over Portugal and playing in a team alongside his brother, Jack casino
They remain one of just two sets of siblings to win the World Cup casino
The son of a miner in his native North East and a teenage prodigy, Charlton joined United at 15 and scored twice on his debut as a 19-year-old casino
He was one of the “Busby Babes”, the team of youthful talents who played attacking casino football, but eight of his teammates were killed in the plane crash in Munich casino

He played 758 games for United – then a record, and a total since only topped by Ryan Giggs – and scored 249 goals, which only Wayne Rooney has beaten casino
He won three league titles and the FA Cup in his United career casino
He made 106 appearances for England, also a national record at the time, and was in the squad in four World Cups, playing in three casino
His total of 49 goals was the most by any England player until first Rooney and then Harry Kane overtook him casino
Charlton subsequently managed Preston and, for almost four decades, was a United director, playing a part in appointing Sir Alex Ferguson in 1986 casino
He was diagnosed with dementia, which his family announced in 2020 casino
The team will wear black armbands tonight in their Premier League fixture at Sheffield United and the pre-planned minute’s silence will be expanded to pay respects to Sir Bobby casino
A book of condolence will be open to fans and the public tomorrow (Sunday, 22 October) from 10am in the International Suite at Old Trafford casino

“You could go somewhere that no one spoke English but people would know Bobby Charlton casino
That was a true testament to the fame he had and a testament to his ability casino
”David Beckham, who followed Sir Bobby in captaining club and country, took to Instagram to pay his tribute casino

Sir Bobby was the reason I had the opportunity to play for Manchester United,” wrote Beckham casino
“I will be forever grateful to a man I was named after, someone I looked up to and was a hero to many around the world not just in Manchester and our country where he won the World Cup in 1966 casino

The old story goes that when Kevin Barrett hung up his boots, the man they called ‘Smiley’ was asked what he was going to do next casino
“I’m going to go breed some All Blacks,” Smiley replied, returning to the family dairy farm and setting to work casino
By that stage, sons Beauden, Scott and Jordie had already been born, and how they’ve lived up to their father’s assertion casino
On Saturday night, they will become the first trio of brothers to appear in a Rugby World Cup final, all close to certain starters for the All Blacks ahead of a meeting with South Africa casino
There are many tales of successful sporting siblings, from the Williams sisters to the Kelce brothers; the Waughs or the Charltons casino
But for three brothers to be so integral to a potential World Cup win is special casino
Smart international rugby coaches build their side around a spine of players from a single club; Ian Foster has been able to build his All Blacks around a single family casino
Their rise to the top is a story of both nature and nurture casino
Smiley was a legend of Taranaki rugby, capped almost 200 times by the Bulls in the back five in the pack, while mother Robyn was a talented casino basketball and netball player casino
Growing up, the brothers would hone their skills on a patch of land in their sprawling backyard that they called the BCG – the Barrett Cricket Ground – with Smiley intent on making sure all of his sons had the skillset to play an all-court game casino
“As youngsters playing in back yard, we only dreamed of being here,” Beauden Barrett explained earlier in the tournament casino
“’Mum was a pretty talented athlete herself casino
They all say our speed came from Mum and I guess the size and work rate from Dad casino
Kevin ‘Smiley’ Barrett featured for province Taranaki nearly 200 times (Getty Images)“There was always work to be done casino
So we always saw Mum and Dad doing that, coming home cooking us dinner, getting us ready for school casino
So if you relate that to your rugby it’s about striving to be casino better, to be the best you can be casino
"By their teenage years, the trio could pass off both hands and kick with both feet, making them most of the space on the family dairy farm in Rahotu, an hour’s drive south of New Plymouth casino
Eldest brother Kane was pretty talented, too, just breaking through with the Blues when concussions brought a premature close to his career in 2014 casino
Beauden was first to break through, barely out of his teens when making a first Super Rugby appearance and only 21 when helping the All Blacks to a record win over Ireland on international debut casino
His role as the bench impact back was crucial to the 2015 World Cup win, while two World Rugby Men’s Player of the Year awards followed in 2016 and 2017 after stepping up to be Dan Carter’s fly half successor casino
Beauden Barrett has had a fine tournaemnt (Getty Images)Of late, he has embraced his reinvention as an almost full-time full-back at international level – he has been outstanding throughout this World Cup, described as the “glue” in New Zealand’s side by head coach Ian Foster casino
He may lack the acceleration of his youth but there are few smarter backfield brains at this tournament casino
An impending deal with Toyota Verblitz will see Beauden move to Japan for at least a season, with the 32-year-old weighing up whether to extend his stay or return to New Zealand to try to make a fourth World Cup casino
This could yet be his last All Blacks hurrah casino
To do it alongside his brothers will fill Beauden with immense pride casino
That either could have a claim to be the best player in the family will, too casino
Lock Scott has come on leaps and bounds since the last tournament, forcing apart long-time second row partners Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock after producing a series of unignorable performances casino
If his sending off in the final warm-up against the Springboks shows he still has the occasional rough edge, Scott has become one of New Zealand’s most consistent performers casino
Centre Jordie and lock Scott have come into their own at international level (Getty Images)Jordie Barrett is probably the most talented of the Barrett bunch, possessing a blend of Scott’s size and Beauden’s brilliance casino
After starting his professional career primarily at full-back, his development as a top-class international inside centre - or second five-eight, as the Kiwis call it – has solved a problem spot for the All Blacks casino
His ability to offer real carrying threat and add playmaking options as a second distributor makes him a vital figure on attack, while he has come on defensively, too casino
Jordie is leading New Zealand’s set-piece defence at this tournament, and made 17 tackles in a player of the match performance in the semi-final against Argentina casino
“He was massive in defence, he attempted the most tackles,” defence coach Scott McLeod said of Jordie’s performance casino
“But the most pleasing thing for me was he actually applied pressure casino
“He saw the pictures a lot earlier, he backed himself to go and do it and those around him supported that and he made quite a difference for us casino
"If New Zealand are to beat South Africa on Saturday, you somehow feel at least one of the three will be key casino
Beauden, of course, already has one World Cup winners’ medal, his late breakaway try putting the seal on back-to-back All Blacks’ triumphs in 2015 casino
Come Saturday night, the Barrett mantlepiece could be gilded again, three more medals a fitting decoration for a remarkable sporting family casino
