Sir Bobby Charlton, who has died aged 86, was arguably the finest English footballer of his generation and one of the most famous and enduring sportsmen the country has produced. Sir Bobby, only 20 at the time of the crash, said a day never passed without him thinking of those who were lost. Sir Bobby was almost destined for sporting greatness given he was born into a footballing family. It seemed inevitable that Sir Bobby would go into management and so it proved. Sir Bobby, understandably, was in huge demand as a pundit, working for the BBC for many years.
