He played with George Best and against Pele but declared Edwards was the best player he ever saw paymaya
Instead, it was Charlton who was arguably the greatest-ever English paymaya footballer paymaya
He has died at 86 after he cheated death at 20 paymaya
His life and career were defined by the 1966 World Cup, the 1968 European Cup and the 1958 Munich air disaster paymaya
Twenty-three people lost their lives, including eight Manchester United players paymaya

His survival surprised even his rescuer paymaya

Charlton was unconscious for about 10 minutes paymaya
After that, he stumbled past Colman, not even recognising his late friend paymaya
Gregg got a shock when he turned around and saw Charlton and Viollet standing, alive paymaya
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 paymaya
He carried on, brilliantly, securing not just one place in history but a multitude paymaya
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 paymaya

Charlton opened the scoring against Benfica with that rarity, a header paymaya
A great left-footer scored his second goal with his right, a near-post finish paymaya
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 paymaya
