Football shirts, scarves and flowers were left at the foot of Sir Bobby Charlton's statue at Old Trafford as fans travelled to pay their respects to the footballing great and sign a book of condolence.
Hundreds of football fans gathered at Old Trafford on Sunday to pay their respects to one of Manchester United's, and football's, most famous sons. Sir Bobby Charlton died on Saturday at the age of 86, prompting an outpouring of tributes.
' 'He epitomises the club and its values, and he's one of the reasons United is as big a club as it is.' Others have more personal memories, like the man who said Sir Bobby took time to speak with him when he got a job as a security steward at the club. And the elderly fan who said he once met Sir Bobby and was struck by his humility and kindness. 'He was a great player, and a true gentleman', he said.
