Two elderly men were suited soccer

In one case, he was much smarter than normal, dressed up for the occasion soccer

He was the taller, more angular, with the more pronounced Northumbrian accent, but the resemblance was nonetheless apparent soccer

He was the older, too, and had long referred to a knight of the realm as “Our Kid” soccer

He adopted a slightly more formal approach, while seemingly choking up soccer

“Bobby Charlton is the greatest player I’ve ever seen,” he said soccer

“He’s me brother soccer

”It was 15 years ago, when Jack Charlton presented his younger brother with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC soccer Sports Personality of the Year award soccer

The clip has an added poignancy after Bobby’s death at 86; three years ago, a couple of months after his 85th birthday, Jack had died soccer

The brothers were different players and very different characters – the wisecracking, outspoken Jack was more of a man of the people, but Bobby’s quiet dignity gave him a statesmanlike air soccer

They were not always close but their achievements will live on soccer

There have been 22 men’s soccer football World Cups and only two sets of brothers have won the most prestigious of prizes: Fritz and Ottmar Walter for West Germany in 1954, Bobby and Jack Charlton at West Germany’s expense in 1966 soccer

It remains the most famous year in English soccer football history; perhaps it always will soccer

At the heart of it was Bobby Charlton: the 1966 FWA soccer Footballer of the Year and Ballon d’Or winner, named by France soccer Football – in the days before Fifa had an official award – as the best player at the World Cup soccer

Gary Lineker, who was a goal away from equalling Charlton’s long-standing national record of 49 for his country, called him England’s greatest ever player, Gary Neville, one of his successors as Manchester United captain, deemed him the greatest ever English player soccer

They are not necessarily the same: but in Charlton’s case, he could be both soccer

Perhaps only the other immortal Bobby – Moore, the 1966 captain – can challenge him for the title of the finest in an England shirt soccer

RecommendedSir Bobby Charlton turned tragedy into triumph with unique style and perseveranceFans lay flowers and scarves at Old Trafford following death of Bobby CharltonTributes paid to ‘giant of the game’ Sir Bobby Charlton after his death at 86Charlton was the second English soccer footballer, and just the third man, to reach 100 caps soccer

His 106th and last, in the 1970 quarter-final against West Germany, set a world record that Moore – and then many others – subsequently passed soccer

He straddled eras – his first cap came alongside Tom Finney, who debuted in England’s first match after the Second World War, and one of the last alongside Emlyn Hughes, who represented his country in the 1980s – but defined one, a time of glory soccer

Thirty years before Frank Skinner and David Baddiel sang about soccer football coming home, Charlton brought it back soccer

Their lyric – “Bobby belting the ball” – conjured images, some in colour, some in black and white, of a figure with a combover hairstyle and the cannonball shot striking the ball with beautiful ferocity, often rising throughout its way into the net soccer

Consider his opener against Mexico, England’s first of the 1966 World Cup, from such a distance that the chance of it going in was statistically low, except for one factor: that Charlton, with such power on either foot, was hitting it soccer

He was the master of the long-range hit: if most of Lineker’s 48 goals were predatory finishes, many of Charlton’s 49 were spectacular soccer

Such a clean striker of a ball was not a striker at all: largely a left winger in his younger days, later the attacking-midfield fulcrum of Sir Alf Ramsey’s ‘Wingless Wonders’ soccer

He began in the old W-M formation, ended up as, in effect, the tip of a midfield diamond soccer

It was a tactical shift, a belated move into modernity that Ramsey brought soccer

If there was a pragmatism to England’s World Cup win, Charlton was the artist soccer

With his brace against Portugal in the 1966 semi-final – like another double against Portuguese opposition, Benfica, in the 1968 European Cup final – he illustrated his talent could shine on the biggest of occasions soccer

The 1966 semi-final was not seen by his father, Robert, a coal miner working a shift underground in his home town of Ashington; “his duty”, Bobby subsequently, and remarkably, reflected soccer

On the grandest stage of all, the 1966 final, he was sacrificed, Charlton and Franz Beckenbauer deputed to man-mark each other soccer

They received the same assignment in the 1970 quarter-final; England’s era of ascendency ended when Ramsey removed Charlton with 20 minutes remaining to save him for the semi-final, the 32-year-old distracted by the prospect of his withdrawal as Beckenbauer ran forward to reduce England’s lead to 2-1; without him, they lost 3-2 soccer

Ramsey thanked him for his service on the plane back from Mexico: Bobby knew his England career, like Jack’s, was over soccer

But for Garrincha’s brilliance, Charlton wondered if England would have been victorious in the 1962 quarter-final against Brazil, and then the tournament as a whole soccer

He went to four World Cups in all, not taking the field in his first: time has rendered it more extraordinary that his England debut came in 1958, a couple of months after the Munich air disaster soccer

He scored, too, but if a poorer performance on his third cap was understandable – it came in Belgrade, scene of the Busby Babes’ last game before Munich – it cost him his place in Walter Winterbottom’s starting 11 in Sweden soccer

Were Duncan Edwards, Roger Byrne, Tommy Taylor and Eddie Colman to have lived, perhaps England would have won more and sooner soccer

But it was Charlton who became the emblem of English soccer football; the face of what is now a bygone age soccer

In its own way, it felt appropriate that a man who carried a huge responsibility for decades was the last survivor among the players at Munich; now it may be fitting that Geoff Hurst, who had the final say in 1966, is the last of Ramsey’s chosen 11, forever charged with paying tributes to his fallen comrades soccer

And Bobby Charlton, the greatest player Jack ever saw, the greatest to have Three Lions on his shirt, took England to the summit of the global game soccer

George Russell said he has has banned himself from using social media and reading the news because it does not bring him any positivity soccer

The Mercedes driver has a combined following of nearly seven million on X and Instagram soccer

But Russell, 25, who was involved in a first-corner collision with team-mate Lewis Hamilton at the last round in Qatar, says he has stepped back from using the platforms soccer

Speaking to the PA news agency, Russell said: “I stopped using Twitter (‘X’) about six months ago soccer

“I work with a social team and everything that is posted is in my own words and is signed off through me soccer

I want to stay connected with the fans soccer

But I don’t use the app and I have started to do the same with Instagram soccer

“I respect that everyone has an opinion soccer

But I don’t need to read the praise because that doesn’t bring me anything, and I don’t need to see the negative comments because that doesn’t bring me anything either soccer

“But when I stopped using Twitter (‘X’), whenever I was on my phone I was on Instagram, and when I stopped using Instagram, I thought I needed to look at something so I started to read the news soccer

But every headline was negative soccer

“Other than being informed about what is going on in the world, reading negative headlines one after another didn’t bring anything to me, so now I am totally off social media soccer

”Russell heads into the final five rounds of the campaign eighth in the standings, 62 points and five places adrift of Hamilton soccer

“It all stemmed after the the summer break when I didn’t use my phone at all,” added Russell, who will line up from fifth on the grid for his 100th race in Sunday’s United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin soccer

“During that period when I had my family and friends around me I had an average screen time of 15 minutes soccer

In a normal week I have an average screen time of three hours soccer

“I saw a post that said ‘if you use your phone on average for four hours a day, by the time you die you will have spent 15 years looking at your phone’ soccer

“And when I read that, I was like, ‘Jesus I could spend 15 years of my life on my phone soccer

’ I can do something wiser than scrolling through Instagram memes soccer
