Almost 49 years since the Munich air crash, Manchester United and England icon Sir Bobby Charlton is still haunted
Yes, clubs donated players to United, and they were at once 'England's Team'. Out of the tragedy came their greatest triumph. In later years, I saw the Charlton boys play for the England Squad. I was at the old Wembly Stadium in '66 for the World Cup. It was inspirational for me. Especially as the press gave them no chance and I bought tickets from a scalper for a quid and went home with a win. Priceless.
