RIP Bobby.
I remember watching the European Cup Final against Benfica in B&W. He was a great striker.

I was there, in colour, what a privilege.

As a kid I always wondered how he seemed to be able to kick the ball so hard..... So many goals from outside of the box, a true gent too.

Renowned for his shooting, they could show this to the current England players, in order to teach them how to pass a ball.

Legend is used far too often, but he most certainly was. One of the most recognisable names in football ever. Glad to see him getting the respect he deserves.

he was sat right behind me at the match a few years ago, i managed to have a gab with him at half time and he seemed a decent fella, very approachable and good natured despite the ribbing he was getting from the home fans, especially as united were getting beaten by us ( Liverpool)
