B-more Mag Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 R.I.P. I didn’t know until just now that he and Jack were Milburns on their mum’s side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) He was a Newcastle fan mind. Obviously became a Manchester United fan after spending most of his life there as you would. So i never held any ill will against him at all. Not much different to KK or someone with us really. Maradona, Cruyff, Pele and Charlton in short order really. That's the whole facials of legends on the ball on ITV's 1990 World Cup intro except Beckenbauer. Edited October 21, 2023 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 One of the great English players. Perhaps only Bobby Moore ahead of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Brilliant footballer, may he rest in peace. Forgot his roots and he flew to Asia for a Man U game when he was told his mother was about to die. Says it all for me and it’s a hard take. When I was very young and went abroad, everybody knew Bobby Charlton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 He was the world's most famous footballer at a time when there were far fewer famous people, never mind footballers. I am vaguely related to him, or I was at one point, my first mother in law was a cousin of the Millburn's. RIP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack j Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I presume he still wasn't very liked in Ashington whereas Jackie was? Was it all to do with his wife falling out with his mam or something? Remember watching that Jackie charlton documentary about his dementia and something getting mentioned about it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
