<b>Sir Robert "Bobby" Charlton CBE</b> <i>(born 11 October 1937)</i>
1956-73, 756 starts, 249 goals
Bobby Charlton made his United debut in October 1956 and survived the Munich crash in 1958 before going on to lift the World Cup with England in 1966, a year in which he was named European Footballer of the Year, and the European Cup with United (their first) two years later as Captain, scoring two gaols in the final. His unblemished record of service for club and country is so legendary that when he came around to writing his autobiography he had to write two books – one on United and one on England.
When he retired from playing in 1974 he tried his hand at management before returning to Old Trafford to work as a director. In 1986 he did his best to convince the board to appoint Ferguson when other influential voices wanted Terry Venables to replace Ron Atkinson. Charlton got his way and for that - and the fact that no player has scored more goals for United or England – he has to be No 1.
