The Great Sir Bobby Charlton, Micah’s Minibar Madness and Tremendous Trippier | EP 35 

The technical ability of scholes, the power of Gerrard and the goals of lampard....effortlessly

I visited a friend in Serbia this summer and stayed with his family. His farther, who barely spoke any English, introduced himself as Bobby and (through translation) said he took the name from his all-time favourite player. I immediately knew I was in good company. It just goes to show the reach Sir Bobby Charlton had as a player and as a man.

Has and will always be part of english footballing folklore and will be sadly missed. RIP the legend sir Bobby Charlton

RIP Sir Bobby Charlton. One of the greatest English footballers ever

That was a very beautiful and heartwarming tribute lads. As an Everton fan I send my deepest condolences, prayers and thoughts to Sir Bobby Charlton, his friends and family. An absolute legend for Manchester United and England. ⚽❤️🙏

Sir Bobby Charlton was a god send & blessing to the beautiful game..RIP..Never to be forgotten 💯

RIP as a Liverpool fan a true legend! Keep up the great work Lads!

Beautiful tribute and spot on Gary by saying “football immortality”. Hopefully England can lift a major trophy in the near future to do him proud ❤

Great episode 🙂 Lovely words paying tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton ♥️

RIP Sir Bobby, a superstar and real gent, can still see some of those shots he belted.

As a Liverpool fan I have to say Sir Bobby was a class act, and never let his success go to his head. A true example to all footballers and people in general today. YNWA sue bobby, some things transcend football

Very moving Gary I saw Utd, usually at my team Spurs, in the 60s. What a player. The silkiest, smoothest runner with the ball there was and is no one who could touch his skill. Quite unique and deadly

RIP Very sad Week For all Football Fans One of a Kind Player The Greatest english player WC winner what a guy Hell of a career All Condolences To Sir Bobby Family and all 🙏🙏

Great tribute guys, I was traveling through Mexico back in 1999, I was up in the mountains in a small town, I had only just got to this remote town and was talking to the locals, when they found out I was English and not American! There faces light up and one of the gentlemen, shouted, Gary Lineker, Bobby Charlton, 66 World Cup!! Legend

Sir Bobby is incomparable. England's Greatest Ever Footballer. R.I.P ❤

The 3 FA youth cups with Duncan Edwards and all the busby babes to get over the mental trauma of the air disaster says everything one of a kind rest easy Bobby

When I see the rest is football my mind is at piece.😅

RIP Sir Bobby❤greetings from Rotterdam Holland ❤❤❤

Nobody will ever be like to sir Bobby Charlton ever

LFC fan but Bobby is a true legend

I was 10 yrs old when we won the World Cup , I was born in Morpeth but move down to Manchester as a 6 yr old and became a Bobby Charlton fan as I missed my home then Bea came a United fan Months after the World Cup Bobby and Jackie were given the keys to Ashington and me and my brother went to my grandparents for a holiday . So my grandad took us to Ashington on the bus to watch them get the keys . There where so many people there they ran buses none stop from Newcastle and surrounding areas I was told there was about 200,000 people there When the car came past , Bobby was so emotional he just sat and waved with tears running down his face , but Jack was stood up waving and shaking hands , if he wasn’t sure how much people loved him before he did that day Bless him , Gods got one hell of a football team with him now , all the Busby babes back together

On the Salah Vs Hazard debate, Salah, all day long, even just on eye test, but when you look at the stats, Salah is 4th all time in the Premier League, for G/A per game. Here’s the Top 10: 1) Haaland 1 in 0.8 2) Henry 1 in 1.01 3) Suarez 1 in 1.02 4) Salah 1 in 1.12 5) Aguero 1 in 1.15 6) Kane 1 in 1.22 7) Cantona 1 in 1.24 8) Van Persie 1 in 1.33 9) Shearer 1 in 1.35 10) Van Nistelrooy 1 in 1.37 (Hazard, for what it’s worth, is 23rd, with 1 in 1.68)

True legend of the game Sir Bobby is. Great tribute by Gary

Trippier had two loans at my team Barnsley from city before he went to burnley. He stood out a mile

Great point regarding the comments before Sir Bobby passed Gary. These blokes deserve their day in the sun again. Only 11 Englishmen I’ve ever been jealous of and Sir Bobby is one

Bobby won a World Cup, champions league, leagues, but somehow the current Man U players have a bigger ego than him 😂 it’s quite insane

I’m a Leeds fan but totally gutted about sir Bobbys passing rip legend 💔

Perfect timing on this upload for my train to work, loving the podcast gents 👏

God bless Sir Bobby... One of my heroes ❤

Beautiful tribute Gary.

Gary O'Neil deserves a huge amount of respect, not only for what he did at Bournemouth, but now the Wolves team is taking shape, playing some great attacking football, and to have 12 points when he was hired less than a week before the start of the season is incredible

I was at that SPOTY back in 09, don't think I shall ever forget the standing ovation for Sir Bobby, and it didn't seem to stop for a good ten minutes, it was in Liverpool too. Really nice night that was.

Lovely tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton. I just look forward to seeing this podcast here, as I know at some point I'll be crying with laughter. these three just bounce off each other, a wonderful show lads, as always.

World Cup winner, European Cup winner and Ballon d’Or winner…..only 9 players have achieved this in the history of the game. R.I.P Sir Bobby…. For reference the others are Gerd Muller, Franz Beckenbauer, Palo Rossi, Zinedine Zidane, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka, and Lionel Messi, that’s the standard, but Sir Bobby did it first. The greatest English player, no question.

Saw Bobby play England vs Holland maybe 68 or 69 I remember asking who would win, I was told it wasn't if we'd win but by how much, in my memory I think we won 4 nil, he was spell binding, that good

Bit late but great podcast. Thought Gary's tribute at the beginning was very nice. Far too young to have watched him play, but being a united fan I've seen the clips, the documentaries, films that have come out over the years & what a man, what a life. Was good to see how many turned out to say goodbye.

I always remember Sir Bobby being very calm and polite whenever interviewed. Gary doesn't understand the 10,000 hours rule, if I spend 10,000 hours practising football, it makes me the best footballer I can be, my best may still be way below the level that others can reach.

Legends, every morning I see the podcast it fills me with joy THE BEST much love from Saudi ❤

truly of one my fav podcasts .. keep em comin' ... from Belgium

Micah's stories are stuff of legend! "I've got all the alcohol in ma fridge"...... That just drew me in! Great show lads, fantastic tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton. Keep up the good work.

Podcasts & football, this is the remedy 😊. Enjoy it so much

Like you say guys, Talent only takes you so far.

Amazing tribute podcast guys thanks!...PS. just spent the best part of 50 mins trying to rub that white mark on the wall behind Alan off my laptop screen :D

Another cracking episode lads, have you thought about ever doing a live podcast were us the viewers can come and watch live?

Salah is an incredible footballer as am African what his done consistently over the years is truly admirable, BUT I watch Hazard play ever week as a Chelsea fan, my favourite player of all time (I'm 19 years old) he was amazing to watch. I can go on all day about the memories I have watching him

To Micah with love : I was you were he was we were you were they were Best channel and please never change 😎 keep up the good work

Rest in peace Sir Bobby Charlton🙏🏽

A wonderful tribute to Bobby Charlton👏🏻. Class podcast as usual! I love the insight you give on football & your honesty with a few glasses of vino especially the Big Meeks story. Keep it up lads.🙌

I was in China when the news of Sir Bobby's death came through and it was quite big news.

Great tribute and great intro wasn’t awkward wasn’t down hearted it was pure memory and joy about sir Bobby, may he rest in peace and may I say as a young lad the impact Bobby Charlton has had on my dad and older family Is unbelievable. The only person to bring it home for England may he be at rest.

i love this podcast absolutely brilliant chemistry between the boys, would love to see a differnet dimension, and have a top fan join in to experience the experience.

RIP Sir Bobby Charlton

Lovely tribute RIP Sir Bobby 🙏 condolences to man utd family from fulham fc family

All caught up on my favorite podcast ❤

Closet i could think of would be yaya toure. But yaya wouldnt glide past players, he’d just bulldoze them. To be fair, Sir Bobby was unique. RIP

Love this podcast

Yeasss one of my fav podcasts

Same era, Bobby More, even Pele said he was one of the greats

RIP to a legend

One of the best podcast❤

The Kane/Spurs thing is a kind of a paradox. The team would be better if Kane was there, they would probaly score more goals, the attacking style of Ange would create more opportunities than he was getting with the way that Conte wanted to play,but with him not being in the team they don’t have the luxury of “fuck it, Kane will do something” so the rest of the team has to perform at a higher lvl than they would with him. Tbf it would be kinda funny if they would win something the first year that Kane left the team

I'm 42 and so didn't really see Bobby Charlton or the 66 team play, even though I know a lot about Greaves with my dad being a Spurs fan, but I do find Charlton's death sad. It's soon the end of an era and only Geoff Hurst left from that group of men who achieved sporting immortality for this Country. Thinking of all the talent and money footballers get paid now and not been able to achieve what that 66 team did. RIP

It’s amazing how different players of yester year were great footballers and played for their jersey now we’ve got prima donnas only interested in money and if they own a Ferrari or a Lamborghini RIP Sir Bobby

This podcast is the best what happened to me in the recent time :). Keep it up guys! A question: if you could play for any other national team than England from any era, which one would it be, and why?

Great tribute Gary, my very first top flight match was also Leicester v Man Utd at Filbert St. Got to see George Best play but sadly never had the privilege of seeing Sir Bobby play. Sorry, but I remain a Utd fan to this day 🙂

I would name drop here Johnny Haynes first £100 per week player and the best passer of a football that I have ever seen. Sir Bobby was a different type of midfield player he added goals to his game and that made him different

Speaking from the younger Gen I got curious and watched a few old school games in full. His striking ability gave me Scholes and prolificness gave me Lampard but he could beat a man like the Deco’s, Iniesta’s & Rui Costa’s. England hasn’t really produced a midfielder with those core fundamentals since who turned up on the big occasions as much. It’s good to take a deep dive every now and again at the greats to realise what was unique and what essentially stayed the same.

You can’t really compare him to any other English player of the modern era. Fast, a dribbler, amazing range of passing, goal scoring, two footed and lethal with both. RIP

View up near Ashington. Never forget your roots like Jack

Beautiful tribute. 2nd cousin of the great Jackie Milburn and all his brothers professional players he had a lot to live up to. And he eclipsed them all.

I was born in 1957. When I was young Stanley Matthews was held in high esteem. I do recall a televised match in which he played and I didn't see anything impressive, other than that he was 50 years old at the time.

my grandad was a Jacky Milburn fanatic, he only ever praised 2 other players, Duncan Edwards and Bobby Charlton, he told me in 1966 Bobby Charleton was the best player in the world

World cup winner Champions league winner Balon d'or winner And was knighted.....nobody can match that, sir Bobby R.I.P

The Great bobby charlton a legend in football and sport in general! end of!!!!!

In talking of England's greatest players Sir Tom Finney requires at the very least a mention! Very much enjoying the podcast though lads, keep it up.

Why does everyone forget Nkunku has been out all season he will finish off the chances and score goal’s hopefully.

Now, I love That Peter Crouch podcast, big fan. But I actually think I like this podcast better. Both are great and I'll continue to watch both. But Micah, gary and Shearer just edge it for me. Brilliant!

Someone said last night (BBC) that he & Beckenbauer cancelled each other out in the '66 final - (they were both instructed to man-mark each other); maybe Beckenbauer was a near equivalent?

Would love to see Gazza on the pod. Always mentioned and I bet he has some stories!

Rip SIR BOBBY

Maybe get Gazza on the podcast someday.

The only man to win a world cup, European Cup, F.A. Cup, League title and pony club championship.

Micah really has to start saying ‘Goodbye from Meeks’ at the end of every episode

R.I.P Sir Bobby...What an absolute legend and true to life humble, generous gentleman you really were...There will never be another Sir Bobby!!!...💞⚽️💞⚽️💞⚽️

Remember Beckenbauer saying he never went over the half way line till Charlton went off we know what happened after that.

God yea...waterlogged balls as a kid!

Trippier for me is the best right back in the world, England are blessed in that position with the players we have there but he can defend he can attack his positional play and reading of the game is outstanding, he’s a leader on and off the pitch he’s good at set pieces for a right back he has absolutely everything and that for me is what makes him the best, he’s probably a bit underrated because he plays for Newcastle and not many people watch them but they are entertainers in this league and Trippier plays a massive part in that

World Cup winner, Balon Dor and European winner....the only English man to do that. The greatest player England has ever produced. He stands above everyone, the only English player who could ever truly call himself the best player in the world. RIP to a legend.

I always thought that sir Bobby was a striker!

Hopefully someone can check this, but salah rarely gets braces and hat tricks, but he scores so consistently. I have a feeling he would be very high up in points won with his goals

For me the Salah hazard debate isn’t even close, Salah very day of the week and twice on a Sunday

We need to get Pablo Zabaleta in the podcast!!

I always thought of Bobby as a less complete version of Di Stefano and Cryuff kind of both masters natural successor. The type of do it all generals, tacticians with perfect all around technique. I think Rooney was a different type of talent, more like a street bulldog midfield/forward attacker like more or less his twin Tevez, kind of jake for all trades, both fantastic players, but in a lesser level than the 3 masters Ive mentioned before.

🕊

In response to Micah’s comments about Italian lifestyle, i think it’s crazy that English clubs would think having a glass of wine with dinner the night before a game would have any negative impact whatsoever. It’s one glass! Clearly the positive mental aspect of having a nice glass of wine outweighs the (non existent) detriment.

Here for the big mees

Micah-"Next thing ya know Im 10 drinks deep!" Welcome to the club Pal, the faucet only goes one direction...;)

Rip to a legend

I'm a Liverpool fan and I agree that Konate should have been sent off. I reckon the Diaz incident had an impact - referee too scared to make a mistake

Just watched that Leeds Utd clip here on RU-vid - this was at the height of their success in the 70s, the Chelsea or Man U of their era - their idea of a night out was playing dominoes at a local pub; training sessions consisted of running around a field, more or less, after which manager Don Revie personally massaged their backs! A far cry from today's overpaid, spoilt, self-absorbed prima donnas.
