England World Cup winner and Manchester United great Bobby Charlton, described by the club as a"giant of the game", has died at the age of 86, it was announced on Saturday.
"His family would like to pass on their thanks to everyone who has contributed to his care and for the many people who have loved and supported him." Charlton's European Cup success at United came 10 years after the 1958 Munich air disaster, which he and team manager Matt Busby survived but which claimed the lives of eight of Charlton's team-mates.
Charlton won three league three titles and one FA Cup at Old Trafford and, after leaving United in 1973 and becoming Preston manager, he returned to Old Trafford 11 years later as a club director. He was knighted for services to football in 1994.
