Sir Bobby Charlton
Apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere:
Sir Bobby Charlton today underwent minor surgery after being taken ill before the Laureus World Sports Awards, organisers said this evening. SAF, who collected the award on his behalf, said "Sir Bobby is fine, but it was felt he should go back to Manchester. He is very annoyed not to be here to receive this Award. I'll be taking the statuette back to Old Trafford for him. He loves the work he does for Laureus and I know how delighted he is to have received this tribute." He added: "It was already a very emotional night for Bobby. This is the 54th anniversary of the Munich air disaster, when we lost eight of our young players. Through that time, Bobby has kept his fantastic humility, and that makes him very special to me. "Manchester United is Bobby's life. He came to the club as a 15-year-old boy and he's been with us ever since - he is one of our ambassadors now. In my own 25 years at the club, Bobby has supported every step I've taken. "At the beginning, they were very small steps. Later, they became big steps. But without his support, I don't know where I'd have been." |

Just seen this & my heart dropped.
Good see it's nothing too serious, I'm sure he'll be back watching the matches at OT in no time. |
