Two elderly men were suited soccer
In one case, he was much smarter than normal, dressed up for the occasion soccer
He was the taller, more angular, with the more pronounced Northumbrian accent, but the resemblance was nonetheless apparent soccer
He was the older, too, and had long referred to a knight of the realm as “Our Kid” soccer
He adopted a slightly more formal approach, while seemingly choking up soccer
“Bobby Charlton is the greatest player I’ve ever seen,” he said soccer
“He’s me brother soccer
”It was 15 years ago, when Jack Charlton presented his younger brother with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC soccer Sports Personality of the Year award soccer
The clip has an added poignancy after Bobby’s death at 86; three years ago, a couple of months after his 85th birthday, Jack had died soccer
The brothers were different players and very different characters – the wisecracking, outspoken Jack was more of a man of the people, but Bobby’s quiet dignity gave him a statesmanlike air soccer
They were not always close but their achievements will live on soccer
There have been 22 men’s soccer football World Cups and only two sets of brothers have won the most prestigious of prizes: Fritz and Ottmar Walter for West Germany in 1954, Bobby and Jack Charlton at West Germany’s expense in 1966 soccer
It remains the most famous year in English soccer football history; perhaps it always will soccer
At the heart of it was Bobby Charlton: the 1966 FWA soccer Footballer of the Year and Ballon d’Or winner, named by France soccer Football – in the days before Fifa had an official award – as the best player at the World Cup soccer
Gary Lineker, who was a goal away from equalling Charlton’s long-standing national record of 49 for his country, called him England’s greatest ever player, Gary Neville, one of his successors as Manchester United captain, deemed him the greatest ever English player soccer
They are not necessarily the same: but in Charlton’s case, he could be both soccer
Perhaps only the other immortal Bobby – Moore, the 1966 captain – can challenge him for the title of the finest in an England shirt soccer
RecommendedSir Bobby Charlton turned tragedy into triumph with unique style and perseveranceFans lay flowers and scarves at Old Trafford following death of Bobby CharltonTributes paid to ‘giant of the game’ Sir Bobby Charlton after his death at 86Charlton was the second English soccer footballer, and just the third man, to reach 100 caps soccer
His 106th and last, in the 1970 quarter-final against West Germany, set a world record that Moore – and then many others – subsequently passed soccer
He straddled eras – his first cap came alongside Tom Finney, who debuted in England’s first match after the Second World War, and one of the last alongside Emlyn Hughes, who represented his country in the 1980s – but defined one, a time of glory soccer
Thirty years before Frank Skinner and David Baddiel sang about soccer football coming home, Charlton brought it back soccer
Their lyric – “Bobby belting the ball” – conjured images, some in colour, some in black and white, of a figure with a combover hairstyle and the cannonball shot striking the ball with beautiful ferocity, often rising throughout its way into the net soccer

Consider his opener against Mexico, England’s first of the 1966 World Cup, from such a distance that the chance of it going in was statistically low, except for one factor: that Charlton, with such power on either foot, was hitting it soccer
He was the master of the long-range hit: if most of Lineker’s 48 goals were predatory finishes, many of Charlton’s 49 were spectacular soccer
Such a clean striker of a ball was not a striker at all: largely a left winger in his younger days, later the attacking-midfield fulcrum of Sir Alf Ramsey’s ‘Wingless Wonders’ soccer
He began in the old W-M formation, ended up as, in effect, the tip of a midfield diamond soccer
It was a tactical shift, a belated move into modernity that Ramsey brought soccer
If there was a pragmatism to England’s World Cup win, Charlton was the artist soccer
With his brace against Portugal in the 1966 semi-final – like another double against Portuguese opposition, Benfica, in the 1968 European Cup final – he illustrated his talent could shine on the biggest of occasions soccer
The 1966 semi-final was not seen by his father, Robert, a coal miner working a shift underground in his home town of Ashington; “his duty”, Bobby subsequently, and remarkably, reflected soccer
On the grandest stage of all, the 1966 final, he was sacrificed, Charlton and Franz Beckenbauer deputed to man-mark each other soccer
They received the same assignment in the 1970 quarter-final; England’s era of ascendency ended when Ramsey removed Charlton with 20 minutes remaining to save him for the semi-final, the 32-year-old distracted by the prospect of his withdrawal as Beckenbauer ran forward to reduce England’s lead to 2-1; without him, they lost 3-2 soccer
Ramsey thanked him for his service on the plane back from Mexico: Bobby knew his England career, like Jack’s, was over soccer

But for Garrincha’s brilliance, Charlton wondered if England would have been victorious in the 1962 quarter-final against Brazil, and then the tournament as a whole soccer
He went to four World Cups in all, not taking the field in his first: time has rendered it more extraordinary that his England debut came in 1958, a couple of months after the Munich air disaster soccer
He scored, too, but if a poorer performance on his third cap was understandable – it came in Belgrade, scene of the Busby Babes’ last game before Munich – it cost him his place in Walter Winterbottom’s starting 11 in Sweden soccer
Were Duncan Edwards, Roger Byrne, Tommy Taylor and Eddie Colman to have lived, perhaps England would have won more and sooner soccer
But it was Charlton who became the emblem of English soccer football; the face of what is now a bygone age soccer
In its own way, it felt appropriate that a man who carried a huge responsibility for decades was the last survivor among the players at Munich; now it may be fitting that Geoff Hurst, who had the final say in 1966, is the last of Ramsey’s chosen 11, forever charged with paying tributes to his fallen comrades soccer
And Bobby Charlton, the greatest player Jack ever saw, the greatest to have Three Lions on his shirt, took England to the summit of the global game soccer

Mikel Arteta praised a “phenomenal” response from Arsenal after they fought back from two goals down in the final 13 minutes to earn a 2-2 draw at Chelsea and move level on points at the top of the Premier League soccer
Chelsea looked to be sending Arsenal to a first league defeat of the season when Mykhailo Mudryk’s cross-shot put them into a 2-0 lead minutes after half-time, the Ukrainian’s effort drifting over goalkeeper David Raya who was unable to recover from a poor starting position as the ball dropped into the goal soccer
That added to the lead given to them by a first-half penalty from Cole Palmer, increasingly influential in Pochettino’s revitalised attack following his move from Manchester City, who slotted home after William Saliba was adjudged to have handled from Mudryk’s header soccer
It was a commanding and deserved advantage for the hosts, who were seeking a third straight league win, but as so often during Chelsea’s turbulent last 18 months it was an individual error that turned the game and cost them points soccer
Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez rolled the ball straight to the feet of Declan Rice who cut the arrears from 30 yards, before Leandro Trossard got a lunging right leg to Bukayo Saka’s cross six minutes from time to salvage an unlikely draw soccer
And afterwards Arteta praised his team’s powers of recovery as they extended their unbeaten start to the league season to nine matches to go level at the top with Manchester City soccer
“I think what went wrong was the start of the game,” said the manager soccer
“We didn’t play with enough purpose and clarity soccer
We were just moving the ball without the intention to threaten them soccer
That’s a really dangerous thing to do against teams like Chelsea soccer
“Then we didn’t win enough duels, and in tight areas when we had them, they escaped from that and they attacked open spaces, and they are really dangerous things to do soccer
“When we changed that and we changed the level after 20, 25 minutes, especially in the second half then it’s a different game soccer
We became a much soccer better team, even though we conceded the second goal and it’s a disappointment soccer
“The way the team reacted to the second goal is phenomenal from the players on the pitch and the players on the bench thinking ‘how the hell am I going to change this game?’ I loved that soccer
“I really liked as well going into the dressing room and it’s really quiet, after drawing 2-2 with Chelsea and coming back from 2-0 down, because I know that they wanted more soccer
That’s the positive soccer
”Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino reflected on perhaps Chelsea’s best performance since he took over in the summer, and refused to lay the blame at the feet of Sanchez for allowing Arsenal back into the match soccer
“Too many games that we’re watching every week, always mistakes,” he said soccer
“soccer Football is about mistakes soccer
If you want to score, you want the opponent to make a mistake soccer
Ninety per cent of goals are because the opponent made a mistake soccer
soccer Football is about mistakes soccer
“The only thing we can criticise a little bit is to read soccer better the situation, the tempo and the timing soccer
After 77 minutes, we’re trying to take some risks soccer
OK, we can because it’s our philosophy soccer
But maybe (we need) soccer better decisions soccer
So we can criticise a bit, but also this is soccer football soccer
“It’s not to blame someone soccer
It’s only that in this type of situation you need to read soccer better, but that will arrive with time soccer
Teams need to manage and drive games soccer
You need to read the game, when to be calm, when to play, when to take risks soccer
