Sir Alex Ferguson, Gary Lineker and Peter Schmeichel were among the many people to pay tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton this afternoon, following the Manchester United legend's funeral.
The Man Utd and England legend died aged 86 last month.
Charlton is regarded as one of Manchester United's greatest ever players, scoring 249 goals in 758 appearances between 1956 and 1973. He won the European Cup with United in 1968, as well as three First Division titles.
The 1966 World Cup winner earned 106 caps for England, scoring 49 times, a goalscoring record which he held from 1970 to 2015.

What a player, what a club. RIP Sir Bobby Charlton ❤
It makes me proud to be a fan of this great club.
Had the privilege to meet sir Bobby when i was a kid at old Trafford with my grandfather and i never seen my grandfather light up like he did meeting his idol. He was very kind to me and signed my 92/93 season football top. Absolute legend. And the best midfielder ever for Manchester United. Rest easy sir Bobby. ❤
Born a working class boy in the north east, knighted and later buried in Manchester cathedral. What a life he had
True legend
Twas the night before Christmas, Old Trafford was bare. The staff all gone home, there was nobody there.. The lights cast a shadow, a soft glimmer which lit up the soft green grass on the pitch.
Just as the clock gave out its twelfth chime An old man appeared, as if frozen in time. He gazed at the tunnel, then broke out in voice “ITS TIME TO BEGIN.. LETS HAVE YOU MY BOYS”
Out from the tunnel appeared a lone figure Same as in life, only infinitely bigger The old man called out as he slowly drew near “good evening Duncan, are the rest of you here”
The figure broke out in wide open smile “Good Evening Sir Matt, it has been a long while The rest are all coming, they’ll be here soon,” As seven more shadows were cast by the moon.
Whelan and Bent, Pegg, Taylor and Byrne, Jones , and Colman, they came out in turn. He greeted each one, just by calling their name then proudly announced “do you fancy a game”
They took to the pitch, and the still night was broken By leather on leather, not one word was spoken They played once again, like they did long before And imagined the sound of the Old Trafford roar
Edwards called out “come on lads lets pretend That we’ve just scored a goal at the old Stretford End” As they ran to the edge of the pitch by the goal There in the stands sat a solitary soul.
His eyes were all puffy, his cheeks wet with tears As his mind wandered back to those wonderful years “come down and join us” they cried all as one “yes come down and join them” said Matt “go on son”
The lonely man stood and with much pain he said “I’m afraid I can’t play with you, you are all dead. You are all ghosts, and I am alive That was the price that I paid to survive”
My role was to go on, inspire the team And finally realise Matt Busbys dream To tell of your greatness, and as I get older To burden the weight of your life on my shoulders.”
The ghost of Sir Matt then raised up his head Giving out a loud groan, he finally said “Bobby, You survived, that much is true But we wouldn’t be here if it were not for you
For you are the one who has kept us alive That was the reason you had to survive If you were with us, all we have would be gone And the game that we play could no longer go on
If you can’t understand why it happened this way Then come here and watch when United play They sing about us, they remember us all We live and we breathe with each kick of the ball
The legends that live here, Robson and Best, Cantona, Law, Giggs, Scholes and the rest They are us, we are them, we are all here as one And that is the reason United goes on
So come down and join us, we’re begging you do You are still one of us, and we’re still one of you” And then Bobbys face rose and he gave them a smile And he said “I would love to come play for a while”
They played and they played, as they did in the past Only not quite as skillful, and not quite as fast And when it was over, and when it was done They’d defeated Benfica by four goals to one.
Then Sir Matt said “lads, its been fun you know But It’s now Christmas day, and we really must go” They walked to the front of the stadium and turned And Sir Bobby said “there is something I’ve learned”
“You did not die, on that February night You’re still here with us, as you’re with me tonight And you’ll live on forever as long as we play As the ghosts disappeared down Sir Matt Busby way….
Wonderful.
Beautiful😢
RIP SIR BOBBY CHARLTON A TRUE LEGEND ON AND OFF THE PITCH MUFC 20 TIMES

Definitely the best English footballer of all time
I met Bobby Charlton by accident in Aberdeen 15 years ago, I said good afternoon Mr Charlton, he stopped asked if I was from Aberdeen asked my name, shook my hand and asked if I supported Aberdeen - I replied yes. He stood and spoke for 20 minutes on how he had followed Aberdeens success in the 80’s and told me he spent many an hour watching the great Aberdeen side and proceeded to reel off every name , Simpson, Cooper, McGhee, Strachan etc he told me that was one of THE best sides he’d ever seen and he just knew Sir Alex was the right man for the job. Truly amazed me his knowledge of Aberdeen football club and how he stood as spook as if he knew me. Truly amazing meeting. RIP Sir Bobby
