As Sir Bobby Charlton celebrates his 80th birthday, he looks back on a remarkable life as a global sporting icon, whose name and popularity go way beyond football.
Sir Bobby Charlton is a global sporting icon whose name and popularity go way beyond football, the sport that he has graced for so many years. Sir Bobby's life story is the stuff of Hollywood as he's a man who survived death in the Munich Air tragedy and went on to be the key figure in the rebuilding of Manchester United's legendary team of the 60s, inspiring England to win the World Cup and united the European Cup 10 years after Munich. He has become a figurehead for Manchester United and the constant figure in a club that has grown into one of the world's leading brands.
As Sir Bobby celebrates his 80th birthday, he looks back in this programme on a remarkable life. We hear from his brothers Tom and Jack - Jack who played alongside his brother in the World Cup final of 66 and who affectionately now refers to him as 'our kid', this is a unique celebration through Sir Bobby's eyes with exclusive contributions from football Legends including Sir Alex Ferguson, Denis Law, Franz Beckenbauer, Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney, Sir Geoff Hurst, Gordon Banks and David Beckham.
