uttoxram75 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I'm not the biggest admirer of Man Ure, not by a long chalk. I find most of their fans offensive, arrogant knobjockeys of the highest order, however i'm forced to post in admiration of the club for proposing to name their South Stand after Sir Bobby Charlton. Bobby was one of my (non-Derby) heroes growing up, (along with Bobby Moore), one of England's greatest ever players,,a survivor of Munich who went on to win the World Cup with England and had a fantastic career with United. He has always been a true gentleman, someone who conducts himself with the utmost dignity while being a footballer of immense talent, a superb passer of the ball, a graceful, skilful player with an ability to score "Roy of the Rovers" goals with either foot. Most of all though, its great that Manchester United have done this while Bobby is alive, They've not waited until he's passed away but announced it so the old boy can enjoy his old age knowing there is a part of the stadium he graced so well named in his honour. Well done United and respect to Sir Bobby. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35581289 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuespachRam Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Are they going to rename the stand the "Wayne Rooney Stand" in a couple of weeks when Wayne smashes another one of Bobbys records.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highgate Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'm fortunate enough to really dislike Man Utd and I take great pleasure from it. However it is good to see clubs name stands after greats from their past, instead of cashing in with yet more brand names and advertising. Without doubt Bobby Charlton deserves the honour, so well done Man.Utd Now...back to hoping they lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Ram Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 why does bobby now have a sort of posh accent & good old jackie is still a common mans man cant fault bobby though one of if not the greatest players England has ever produced. Both well before my time but always prefered jack as a character bit more of a loose cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Kevin Hector deserves his name on the ground somewhere. We've got Igor, yet Zak's contribution to our history is up there with anyone's.
