In my opinion Sir Bobby Charlton represents everything that is great about Manchester United he is one of those players that personifies what the club is all about. In 1958 on Febuary the 6th Sir Bobby Charlton was involved in the Munich air disaster and was one of few players to survive. On that day Machester United suffered one of there if not the darkest day in there history with the young up and coming team dubbed the Busby Babes being torn apart due to this awful tragedy. This team was on route to win its 3rd league title in a row and many believe this was one of the greatest teams to have been however disaster took it on a different path. Involved in the disaster was Sir Bobby Charlton after breaking into the team in 1956 aged 19 he worked his way in the first 11 however after the Munich Disaster 2 years later he was one of few to survive and now had the responsibility to lead this new team which had suffered so much loss.
However Sir Bobby Charlton was not one to be beaten easily and he and Sir Matt Busby went onto build a team that would eventually regain its dominance winning 2 league titles and an Fa Cup and 10 years after the disaster that ripped the team apart Sir Bobby Charlton went on to win the Europen cup. plus let's not forget he was a huge part of the 1966 World Cup winning team.
This is a player that has not let anything stop him achieving his goals he never gave up no matter what was thrown at him he rose from disaster with Manchester United and led the team to the ultimate success. The attitude we see today from Manchester United the never say die attitude the way we battle for every game until the very end and the belief that not matter what happens we will come back to the top stems from this Manchester United team and the legend himself Sir Bobby Charlton. We will never forget those who lost there life's in the Munich disaster and Sir Bobby
Charlton we could never thank you enough for what you have done for this club.
