Gary Neville summing him up brilliantly.
Wow that's a great clip, such passion and puts it into words brilliantly too.
An absolute legend of the club. RIP.

I saw him a long time ago outside OT humbly walking through fans on his own.

I'm sure I remember one of his family members saying during a documentary that he was simply "Our Bob"
RIP Sir Bobby
Forever a United Legend and Forever Our Bob.

First time I've seen this, thanks for sharing - couldn't help but grin watching.
Always think of Moscow '08 with Chelsea sending up that twunt Kenyon with them while we sent up Sir Bobby
Post of the year. What a man.
A life story you could not have invented. He was a credit to his team and to his country and to his beloved United. One of the greatest players to ever play the game and a sportsman who won respect everywhere across the world.
My generation was so lucky to have seen him play.
RIP Bobby.

Sad news.
RIP Sir Bobby

Rest In Peace Sir Bobby, Legend.
Very upset by this news. He was just a couple of years younger than my dad who died in August. I saw him play many times, the last time being a charity match in Knutsford around 1975. I saw him out and about a few times too, but not for a long while.
An absolute legend. Will another English United player get to lift the World Cup? Will United win another European Championship? Probably not in my lifetime.

What a life and what a story that you won't ever see the likes of in football again. RIP Sir Bobby.
A legend of our club and of the game itself. RIP Sir Bobby.
RIP Sir Bobby a true legend

First game at home where we"ll have a tribute to him and cherish him and we play against city, FFS.
Hopefully we score eighty goals like Newcastle
Sad day for the club and an end of an era, but great memories to celebrate. From the Munich disaster to his greatest moments at Wembley, he such an icon for both United & England. Undoubtedly the greatest English player, he was the player of the tournament in ‘66. He was such a great passer & goal scorer. Talk about press resistant. I guess the closest style player you could compare with nowadays would De Bruyne, but Charlton was better because of his goal scoring threat. He really was one of the greatest players ever to play the game.
More likely the tribute will be Tuesday against Copenhagen
And he refused to have the medal put around his neck. Such a humble gentleman.
Absolute legend.
May he rest in peace, and condolences to his family.

Such sad news to wake up to. A true gentleman and legend of the game.
Sir Bobby was the last.
but legends must pass before they become immortal.Before my time but I've obviously seen cips of him playing. Genuinely world class. Naturally two footed, could pass the ball 50 yards pin point, could twat a heavy leather ball into the the top corner from 35 yards. The best footballer England has ever produced, consistently for many years. What would he be worth these days on the transfer market? Priceless. RIP Bobby .
Rest in peace, Sir Bobby. True legend.
Yes plans in place for the Copenhagen game, I'll be there Tuesday night to honour our legend Bobby!
RIP Sir Bobby.
Absolute legend. For both United and England. R.I.P.
RIP Sir Bobby.

RIP to your father too Muninman. Sorry for your loss.
I always love reading posts from those who experienced United from bygone eras so thank you for sharing said experiences. Obviously I never saw him live but I have gone and watched plenty of games from the past just to see our greatest teams and he always stood out. Charlton, Best and Law definitely warranted the Holy trinity label!
He's Man United, the reason there is a forum. The real Rocky story, from ashes to greatness.
The old guards are passing away one by one, this year is tough because it's the faces that you're familiar with, first Lady Cathy and now Sir Bobby, i just hope we can win the league before the great man himself passed away. RIP Sir Bobby.
