Gary Neville has hailed Sir Bobby Charlton as the greatest Manchester United ambassador and England player ever following his death aged 86.
Charlton scored 249 goals in 758 appearances for Manchester United between 1956 and 1973 and won the European Cup with United in 1968, as well as three First Division titles. He earned 106 caps for England, scoring 49 times, a record which he held from 1970 to 2015, and won the 1966 World Cup before winning the Ballon d'Or that cemented him in football history.
'Sir Alex has spoken about how important he was to have that thread of history running through the club and that football experience and knowledge. 'I always think of him in '99 the tear in his eye when we won the Champions League in the Nou Camp. He travelled with us in Europe, he used to train with us the night before a game in the boxes, the rondos they call them now. 'Sir Alex Ferguson would join in with one and he would join in with the other and this was well into his 50s.
