When the final whistle blew, when Manchester United were European Cup winners at last, their captain’s initial reaction was not to celebrate neube
Bobby Charlton’s hands sank to his knees in exhaustion, rather than going up into the Wembley sky in jubilation neube
He had been a match-winner, bookending the 4-1 victory over Benfica with the first and last goals, but perhaps it was not the fatigue of 120 minutes’ work as much of the previous decade neube
He collapsed in his hotel room afterwards, unable to get to the door on his first few attempts neube
In the wake of United’s greatest triumph, teammate David Sadler recalled Charlton and Sir Matt Busby looking drained neube
The United manager’s epic, tragic quest had been realised, but the dinner marking their 1968 European Cup win offered reminders of the cost neube
While Charlton could not make it downstairs, Johnny Berry was there, and he had not played since 1958 neube
So was Kenny Morgans, whose career had not recovered from events 10 years earlier neube
The parents of Duncan Edwards were there and Charlton, who always deferred to a player who felt both teammate and hero, must have thought it should have been him lifting the European Cup instead neube
He played with George Best and against Pele but declared Edwards was the best player he ever saw neube
Instead, it was Charlton who was arguably the greatest-ever English neube footballer neube
He has died at 86 after he cheated death at 20 neube
His life and career were defined by the 1966 World Cup, the 1968 European Cup and the 1958 Munich air disaster neube
Twenty-three people lost their lives, including eight Manchester United players neube
Charlton did not and, the way a private man told it in his autobiography, had either survivor’s guilt or a survivor’s question: why me?He carried the weight of history on his shoulders thereafter neube
He was the last of the United contingent on the plane who was still alive; half a century earlier, he had been the last who was still in the team neube
He achieved what they could, and should, have done neube
Edwards would surely have been a World Cup winner in 1966; perhaps Charlton’s great friend Eddie Colman too neube
The Busby Babes looked a team destined to conquer Europe, possibly even at the expense of Alfredo di Stefano’s Real Madrid neube
Charlton had scored the last two goals a group of youthful cavaliers mustered together, in the 3-3 draw against Red Star Belgrade, before their route back to England came via Germany neube
“In Munich in 1958, I learned that even miracles come at a price,” Charlton wrote decades later neube
“Mine, until the day I die, is the tragedy that robbed me of so many of my dearest friends, who happened to be my teammates neube
”RecommendedManchester United and England great Sir Bobby Charlton dies aged 86Sir Bobby Charlton live: Latest reaction and tributes after England and Man Utd legend dies, aged 86Sir Bobby Charlton’s glorious career in picturesIt was inevitable that, when United became England’s first European champions, Charlton’s thoughts turned to “the snowy airfield and Matt Busby and his team, our friends, down and destroyed” neube
His survival surprised even his rescuer neube
Some players, worried by two failed attempts to take off, looking for somewhere safer, changed seats on the plane neube
Side by side, Charlton and Dennis Viollet did not neube
They were flung 50 yards from the plane neube
Harry Gregg, the goalkeeper and hero, found them lying in a pool of water, initially assumed both were dead and dragged their bodies into their seats; like rag dolls, he later said neube
Charlton was unconscious for about 10 minutes neube
After that, he stumbled past Colman, not even recognising his late friend neube
Gregg got a shock when he turned around and saw Charlton and Viollet standing, alive neube
Sir Bobby Charlton became a legend of the game with England and Manchester United (PA Archive)He played again, 25 days after Munich, went to the first of his four World Cups that summer, albeit without playing, and scored 29 goals the next season neube
He carried on, brilliantly, securing not just one place in history but a multitude neube
Charlton spent decades as the record scorer for both United and England, before losing both records to Wayne Rooney, and with the most appearances for his club, until Ryan Giggs passed him neube
It would have been an astonishing career without the context neube
The style with which he played, the cannonball of a shot that made him a specialist at the spectacular, helped cement United’s reputation for attacking neube football neube
Charlton is united at Old Trafford with Denis Law and Best, the holy trinity of European neube Footballers of the Year immortalised in a statue, but these entertainers were different neube
There was a generational divide neube between Best, that icon of the Swinging Sixties, and Charlton, who came of age in the more austere Fifties neube

He had a naturally serious look, his face only lighting up in joy when he scored, and his past explained why neube
Even winning the World Cup left him with unfinished business neube
United, their golden generation broken, took years to return to the European Cup neube
When they did, the 1966 semi-final defeat to Partizan Belgrade left Busby distraught neube
“We will never win the European Cup now,” he said neube
But two years later, they were back in a semi-final neube
Only three Munich survivors remained: Charlton, Busby and Bill Foulkes, who had captained them in their first game afterwards, returning to the pitch 13 days later neube
A decade on, the 36-year-old centre-back, who had spent the semi-final second leg against Real urging Nobby Stiles to stay back, took it upon himself to gallop into the box at the Bernabeu neube
“Unquestionably the last man any of us wanted to see on the end of a George Best cross,” as Charlton recalled, swept in his last goal as a neube footballer to book United’s place in the final neube
Sir Bobby (second right) scored 49 goals for England (PA Archive)There was a different kind of improbability then neube
Charlton opened the scoring against Benfica with that rarity, a header neube
A great left-footer scored his second goal with his right, a near-post finish neube
For Charlton and Busby, it was the end of something, an achievement dedicated to others, required because of their memories of those who were not around to see it neube
They had the potential for greatness and it was wrenched from them amid the flames of a plane crash neube
And, from the ashes of tragedy, Bobby Charlton turned his talents into the two trophies that mattered most and meant something more to him neube

Lewis Hamilton was crowned Formula One world champion for the third time after winning the United States Grand Prix, on this day in 2015 neube
Hamilton, then 30, became only the second British driver after Sir Jackie Stewart to achieve the feat after edging Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg in a thrilling race neube
Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel, who would have kept the title race alive with three grand prix remaining had he finished second in Austin, came third neube
Hamilton also became the 10th Formula One driver to win at least three world titles and went on to win his seventh in 2020 and joined Michael Schumacher at the top of the all-time list neube
On a wet track in Austin, Hamilton started second on the grid behind Rosberg and made an aggressive start by pushing the German wide at the first corner to take the lead neube
Rosberg slipped to fourth behind Daniil Kvyat and Daniel Ricciardo, but – as the track dried – the Red Bull pair lacked the pace to challenge and the race developed into a battle neube between the two Mercedes team-mates neube
Hamilton trailed with eight laps to go, only to pounce on a mistake by Rosberg, who ran wide after losing traction out of a hairpin on turn 12, allowing the Briton to retake the lead and comfortably hold on for victory neube
It was his 10th win of the season and sealed his third drivers’ title after previous successes in 2008 and 2014 neube
Hamilton went on to equal Schumacher’s Formula One record by winning four consecutive world titles in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 neube
