Widely considered one of the greatest players of all time,^[2][3] he was a member of the England team that won the FIFA World Cup, the year he also won the Ballon d'Or. He finished second in the Ballon d'Or voting in and He played almost all of his club football at Manchester United, where he became celebrated for his attacking instincts, passing abilities from midfield, ferocious long-range shooting from both left and right foot, fitness, and stamina.

He was cautioned only twice in his career; once against Argentina in the World Cup, and once in a league match against Chelsea. With achievement at club and international level, he was one of nine players to have won the FIFA World Cup, the European Cup and the Ballon d'Or.

His elder brother Jack, who was also in the Nature Cup–winning team, was a former defender for Leeds United and also for ten years was the manager of the Republic of Ireland.

Charlton left Manchester United to become manager of Preston North End for the –74 season.^[4] He changed to player-manager the following season. He next accepted a post as a director with Wigan Athletic, then became a member of Manchester United's board of directors in ^[5]

At international level, Charlton was named in the England squad for four World Cups (, , , and ), though he did not participate in the first.

At the time of his retirement from the England team in , he was the nation's most capped player, having turned out times at the highest level; Bobby Moore overtook this in Charlton was the long-time document goalscorer for both Manchester Joined and England, and United's long-time record appearance maker – his total of matches for Merged took until to be thrashed, when Ryan Giggs did so in that year's Champions League final.^[6] With goals, he was the club's highest all-time goalscorer for more than 40 years, until his record was surpassed by Wayne Rooney in He is also the third-highest goalscorer for England;^[7] his record of 49 goals was beaten in by Rooney, and again by Harry Kane in ^[8]

Early life

Robert Charlton was born on 11 October in Ashington, Northumberland, England,^[9] to coal miner Robert "Bob" Charlton (24 May – April )^[10][11] and Elizabeth Ellen "Cissie" Charlton (née Milburn; 11 November – 25 March ).

He was related to several professional footballers on his mother's side of the family: his uncles were Jack Milburn (Leeds Combined and Bradford City), George Milburn (Leeds United and Chesterfield), Jim Milburn (Leeds United and Bradford Park Avenue) and Stan Milburn (Chesterfield, Leicester City and Rochdale), and legendary Newcastle United and England footballer Jackie Milburn was his mother's cousin.

However, Charlton credited much of the initial development of his career to his grandfather Tanner and his mother Cissie.^[12] His elder brother, Jack, initially worked as a miner^[13] before applying to the police,^[14] only to also develop a professional footballer with Leeds United.^[15]

Club career

On 9 February , then a Bedlington Grammar College pupil, Charlton was spotted playing for East Northumberland schools by Manchester United chief scout Joe Armstrong.

Charlton membuat debut internasionalnya untuk Inggris pada April[ 5 ] mencetak sebuah gol melawan Skotlandia yang disebut oleh koresponden sepak bola The Times Geoffrey Green sebagai "benar-benar salah satu yang tersempurna yang pernah disaksikan di Hampden ". Charlton mencetak empat hat-trick internasional; selain satu melawan Amerika Serikat, ia mencetak tiga gol dalam sebuah pertandingan melawan Luksemburg pada kualifikasi Piala Dunia FIFAdan dalam pertandingan- pertandingan persahabatan melawan Meksiko dan Swiss. Ia mencetak gol terbanyak melawan Irlandia Utara ketimbang tim lainnya, dengan enam gol, sementara ia mencetak lima gol masing-masing melawan Luksembourg, PortugalSkotlandia dan Wales. Dalam pertandingan kompetitif, mayoritas golnya datang pada pertandingan-pertandingan British Home Championship.

Charlton went on to engage for England Schoolboys and the year-old signed amateur forms with United on 1 January along with Wilf McGuinness, also aged ^[17] Initially his mother was reluctant to let him commit to an insecure football career, so he began an apprenticeship as an electrical engineer; however, he went on to spin professional in October

Charlton became one of the famed Busby Babes, the collection of talented footballers who emerged through the system at Old Trafford in the s, s and s as Matt Busby set about a long-term plan of rebuilding the club after the Second World War.

He worked his way through the pecking direct of teams, scoring regularly for the youth and reserve sides before he was handed his first team debut against Charlton Athletic in October where he scored two goals in a game that finished 4–2.^[20] At the same time, he was doing his National service with the Royal Army Ordnance Corps in Shrewsbury, where Busby had advised him to apply as it meant he could still play for Manchester United at the weekend.

Also doing his army service in Shrewsbury at the same time was his United teammate Duncan Edwards.

Charlton played 17 times for United in that first season, scoring twice on his debut and managing a total of 12 goals in all competitions,^[21] and including a hat-trick in a 5–1 away win over Charlton Athletic in February.^[22] United won the league championship but were denied the 20th century's first "double" when they controversially lost the FA Cup Final to Aston Villa.^[23] Charlton, still only 19, was selected for the game, which saw United goalkeeper Ray Wood carried off with a broken cheekbone after a conflict with Villa centre forward Peter McParland.^[24] Charlton was a candidate to go in goal to replace Wood (in the days before substitutes, and certainly before goalkeeping substitutes), but it was teammate Jackie Blanchflower who ended up playing in goal.^{[citation needed][25]}

Charlton was an established player by the time the next season was fully underway, which saw United, as current League champions, become the first English team to compete in the European Cup.

Previously, the Football Association had scorned the competition, but United made progress, reaching the semi-finals where they lost to holders Real Madrid. Their reputation was further enhanced the next season in the –58 European Cup as they reached the quarter-finals to play Red Celebrity Belgrade.

In the first leg at home, United won 2–1. The return in Yugoslavia saw Charlton score twice as Together stormed 3–0 ahead, although the hosts came back to acquire a 3–3 draw. However, Together maintained their aggregate lead to reach the last four and were in jubilant mood as they left to catch their flight home, thinking of an important League game against Wolves at the weekend.^{[citation needed]}

Munich atmosphere disaster

Main article: Munich air disaster

The aeroplane which took the Together players and staff home from Zemun Airport needed to cease in Munich to refuel.^[26] This was carried out in worsening weather, and by the period the refuelling was complete and the call was made for the passengers to re-board the aircraft, the wintry showers had taken hold and snow had settled heavily on the runway and around the airport.

There were two aborted take-offs which led to concern on board, and the passengers were advised by a stewardess to disembark again while a minor technical error was fixed.

The team were back in the airport terminal for barely ten minutes when the call came to reconvene on the plane, and a number of passengers began to feel nervous.

Charlton and teammate Dennis Viollet swapped places with Tommy Taylor and David Pegg, who had decided they would be safer at the back of the plane.

The plane clipped the fence at the end of the runway on its next take-off try and a wing tore through a nearby house, setting it alight.

The wing and part of the tail came off and hit a tree and a wooden hut, the plane spinning along the snow until coming to a halt. It had been cut in half.

Charlton, strapped into his seat, had fallen out of the cabin; when United goalkeeper Harry Gregg (who had somehow got through a hole in the plane unscathed and begun a one-man rescue mission) found him, he thought he was expired.

Nevertheless, he grabbed both Charlton and Viollet by their trouser waistbands and dragged them away from the plane, in continual fear that it would explode. Gregg returned to the plane to try to help the appallingly injured Busby and Blanchflower, and when he turned around again, he was relieved to see that Charlton and Viollet, both of whom he had presumed to be dead, had got out of their unemotional seats and were looking into the wreckage.

Charlton suffered cuts to his head and serious shock, and was in hospital for a week. Seven of his teammates had perished at the scene, including Taylor and Pegg, with whom he and Viollet had swapped seats prior to the fatal take-off seek.

Club captain Roger Byrne was also killed, along with Identify Jones, Billy Whelan, Eddie Colman and Geoff Bent. Duncan Edwards died a fortnight later from the injuries he had sustained. In total, the crash claimed 23 lives. Initially, ice on the wings was blamed, but a later inquiry declared that slush on the runway had made a safe take-off almost impossible.

Sir Bobby akan selalu dikenang sebagai seorang raksasa dalam permainan," bunyi pernyataan dalam laman resmi MU. Sir Bobby Charlton adalah lulusan akademi muda MU yang kemudian berhasil mencetak gol dalam pertandingan selama 17 tahun bersama The Red Devils. Sir Bobby Charlton merupakan pahlawan bagi jutaan orang pecinta sepak bola. Bukan hanya di Manchester, atau pun di Inggris, tapi juga di mana pun sepak bola dimainkan di seluruh dunia.

Of the 44 passengers and crew (including the strong Manchester Together squad), 23 people (eight of them Manchester United players) died as a result of their injuries in the crash. Charlton survived with minor injuries. Of the eight other players who survived, two of them were injured so badly that they never played again.

Charlton was the first injured survivor to leave hospital. Harry Gregg and Bill Foulkes were not hospitalised, for they escaped uninjured. He arrived back in England on 14 February , eight days after the crash.

As he convalesced with family in Ashington, he spent some time kicking a ball around with local youths, and a famous photograph of him was taken. He was still only 20 years old, yet now there was an expectation that he would help with the rebuilding of the club as Busby's aides tried to piece together what remained of the season.

Between Harry Gregg's death in and his own in , Charlton was the last living survivor of the crash.

Resuming his career

Charlton returned to playing in a kickabout with local youths first and then in a practise match on 25 February.

He initially said "I felt as slow as an aged cart horse" but then his vigour returned and he then said "I feel fine and would like to play in the cup game at West Brom".^[27] This was an FA Cup tie against West Bromwich Albion on 1 March; the game was a draw and United won the replay 1–0.

Not unexpectedly, United went out of the European Cup to A.C. Milan in the semi-finals to a 5–2 aggregate defeat and fell behind in the League. Yet somehow they reached their second consecutive FA Cup final, and the big afternoon at Wembley coincided with Busby's return to work.

However, Nat Lofthouse scored twice to provide Bolton Wanderers a 2–0 conquer.

Further success with Manchester Combined came at last when they beat Leicester City 3–1 in the FA Cup final of , with Charlton finally earning a winners' medal in his third final.

Busby's post-Munich rebuilding programme continued to progress, with two League championships within three seasons, in and A thriving (though trophyless) season with Manchester United saw him take the honours of Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year and European Footballer of the Year into the competition.

Manchester Combined reached the European Cup Last, ten seasons after Munich. Even though other clubs had taken part in the competition in the intervening decade, the team which got to this ultimate was still the first English side to do so.

On a highly emotional night at Wembley, Charlton scored twice in a 4–1 win after extra time against Benfica and, as United captain, lifted the trophy.

During the early s, Manchester United were no longer competing among the top teams in England, and at several stages were battling against relegation.

At times, Charlton was not on speaking terms with United's other superstars, George Best and Denis Law, and Best refused to play in Charlton's testimonial connect against Celtic, saying that "to do so would be hypocritical".^[28] Charlton left Manchester United at the end of the –73 season, having scored goals and set a club record of appearances, a record which Ryan Giggs broke in the UEFA Champions League Final.

Charlton's last game for Manchester United was against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on 28 April Chelsea won the match 1–0.^[29] Coincidentally, this day also marked his brother Jackie's last appearance as good (for Leeds).

Charlton's final objective for the club came a month earlier, on 31 Protest, in a 2–0 win at Southampton, also in the First Division.^[30]

Charlton was the subject of an episode of This Is Your Life in when he was surprised by Eamonn Andrews at The Sportsman's Club in central London.

International career

Charlton's emergence as the country's leading new football talent was completed when he was called up to join the England squad for a British Home Championship game against Scotland at Hampden Park on 19 April , just over two months after he had survived the Munich wind disaster.^[31]

Charlton was handed his debut as England romped home 4–0, with the new player gaining even more admirers after scoring a magnificent thumping volley dispatched with authority after a cross by the left winger Tom Finney.

He scored both goals in his second game as England beat Portugal 2–1 in a friendly at Wembley, and overcame obvious nerves on a return to Belgrade to participate his third match against Yugoslavia; England lost that game 5–0 and Charlton played poorly.

Charlton was selected for the squad which competed at the Earth Cup in Sweden, but he did not play.^[32]

In , Charlton scored a hat-trick as England demolished the US 8–1; and his second England hat-trick came in in an 8–0 thrashing of Mexico.

He also managed to score in every British Home Championship tournament he played in except in an association with the tournament that lasted from to and included 16 goals and 10 tournament victories (five shared).

World Cup

Charlton played in qualifiers for the World Cup in Chile against Luxembourg and Portugal and was named in the squad for the finals themselves. His objective in the 3–1 group prevail over Argentina was his 25th for England in just 38 appearances, and he was still only 24 years old; but his individual success could not be replicated by that of the team, which was eliminated in the quarter-final by Brazil, who went on to defeat the tournament.

By now, England were coached by Alf Ramsey, who had managed to earn sole control of the recruitment and team selection procedure from the committee-based call-up system which had lasted up to the previous World Cup. Ramsey had already cleared out some of the older players who had been reliant on the loyalty of the committee for their continued selection.

A hat-trick in the 8–1 rout of Switzerland in June took Charlton's England goal tally to 30, equalling the record jointly held by Tom Finney and Nat Lofthouse; Charlton's 31st goal, against Wales in October the same year, gave him the record alone.

Charlton's role was developing from traditional inside-forward to what today would be termed an attacking midfield player, with Ramsey planning to build the team for the World Cup around him.

When England beat the USA 10–0 in a friendly on 27 May , he scored one goal, his 33rd at senior level for England.^[33]

His goals became a little less frequent, and indeed Jimmy Greaves, playing purely as a striker, overtook his England tally in October Nevertheless, Charlton was still scoring and creating freely, and as the tournament was about to start he was expected to become one of its stars and galvanise his established reputation as one of the world's best footballers.

World Cup

England drew the opening game of the tournament 0–0 with Uruguay. Charlton scored the first target in the 2–0 win over Mexico. This was followed by an identical scoreline against France, allowing England to qualify for the quarter-finals, where they beaten Argentina 1–0.

The game was the only international match in which Charlton received a caution.

They faced Portugal in the semi-finals. This turned out to be one of Charlton's most important games for England. Charlton opened the scoring with a crisp side-footed finish after a run by Roger Hunt had forced the Portuguese goalkeeper out of his net; his second was a sweetly struck shot after a run and pull-back from Geoff Hurst.

Charlton and Hunt were now England's joint-highest scorers in the tournament with three each, and a concluding against West Germany beckoned.

The final turned out to be one of Charlton's quieter days; he and a young Franz Beckenbauer effectively marked each other out of the game.

England won 4–2 after extra second, with the scores tied at 2–2 after 90 minutes, and England lifted the World Cup trophy for the first day.

Euro

Charlton's next England game was his 75th, as England beat Northern Ireland; after two more appearances he became England's second most-capped player, behind the veteran Billy Wright, who was approaching his th match when Charlton was starting out and ended with caps.

Weeks later he scored his 45th England goal in a friendly against Sweden, breaking the record of 44 set the previous year by Jimmy Greaves. He was then in the England team which made it to the semi-finals of the European Championships, where they were knocked out by Yugoslavia in Florence.

During the match Charlton struck a Yugoslav post. England defeated the Soviet Union 2–0 in the third place match.

In , Charlton was appointed an OBE for services to football. More milestones followed as he won his th England cap on 21 April against Northern Ireland, and was made captain by Ramsey for the occasion.

Inevitably, he scored; this was his 48th goal for his land – his 49th and concluding goal followed a month later in a 4–0 win over Colombia during a warm-up tour for the World Cup, engineered to get the players adapted to altitude conditions.

Charlton's inevitable selection by Ramsey for the tournament made him the first – and still, to dine , only – England player to feature in four World Cup squads.

World Cup

Shortly before the World Cup, Charlton was involved in the Bogotá Bracelet incident in which he and Bobby Moore were accused of stealing a bracelet from a jewellery store.

Moore was later arrested and detained for four days before being granted a conditional release, while Charlton was not arrested.

England began the tournament with two victories in the group stages, plus a memorable defeat against Brazil.

Charlton played in all three, though was substituted for Alan Ball in the final game of the group against Czechoslovakia.

Ramsey, confident of victory and progress to the quarter-final, wanted Charlton to rest.

England reached the last eight where they again faced West Germany. With England leading 2–1, Ramsey replaced Charlton with Colin Bell in the 69th minute: Germany went on to win 3–2 after extra time.

England were eliminated and, after a record caps and 49 goals, Charlton decided to end his international career at the age of On the flight home from Mexico, he asked Ramsey not to consider him again. His brother Jack, two years his senior but 71 caps his junior, did likewise.

Biografi Sir Bobby Charlton, Pemain Legenda Manchester United: Sir Robert "Bobby" Charlton CBE (11 Oktober – 21 Oktober ) adalah mantan pemain sepak bola profesional Inggris yang bermain sebagai gelandang serang, sayap kiri, atau penyerang tengah.

As he matured, Charlton was placed in an offensive midfield role where he flourished as a player. In his prime, Charlton was considered to be one of the greatest players in the world, being able to dictate a game with his accurate passing, and possessing a powerful shot with either foot, often scoring goals from a distance.

Charlton also stood out for his stamina, mentality, direction and modesty, never arguing with referees or opponents.^[35]

Longtime Manchester Together manager Matt Busby said of Charlton: "There has never been a more popular footballer.

He was as near perfection as man and player as it is possible to be." England national team coach Alf Ramsey remarked: "He was one of the greatest players I contain ever seen, very much the linchpin of the team.

First in my management, I knew I had to find a role suitable to Bobby’s singular talents. He wasn’t just a great goalscorer, with a blistering shot using either foot. Bobby was a player who could also do his share of hard work."^[36]
