When the final whistle blew, when Manchester United were European Cup winners at last, their captain’s initial reaction was not to celebrate neube
Bobby Charlton’s hands sank to his knees in exhaustion, rather than going up into the Wembley sky in jubilation neube
He had been a match-winner, bookending the 4-1 victory over Benfica with the first and last goals, but perhaps it was not the fatigue of 120 minutes’ work as much of the previous decade neube
He collapsed in his hotel room afterwards, unable to get to the door on his first few attempts neube
In the wake of United’s greatest triumph, teammate David Sadler recalled Charlton and Sir Matt Busby looking drained neube
The United manager’s epic, tragic quest had been realised, but the dinner marking their 1968 European Cup win offered reminders of the cost neube
While Charlton could not make it downstairs, Johnny Berry was there, and he had not played since 1958 neube
So was Kenny Morgans, whose career had not recovered from events 10 years earlier neube
The parents of Duncan Edwards were there and Charlton, who always deferred to a player who felt both teammate and hero, must have thought it should have been him lifting the European Cup instead neube
He played with George Best and against Pele but declared Edwards was the best player he ever saw neube
Instead, it was Charlton who was arguably the greatest-ever English neube footballer neube
He has died at 86 after he cheated death at 20 neube
His life and career were defined by the 1966 World Cup, the 1968 European Cup and the 1958 Munich air disaster neube
Twenty-three people lost their lives, including eight Manchester United players neube
Charlton did not and, the way a private man told it in his autobiography, had either survivor’s guilt or a survivor’s question: why me?He carried the weight of history on his shoulders thereafter neube
He was the last of the United contingent on the plane who was still alive; half a century earlier, he had been the last who was still in the team neube
He achieved what they could, and should, have done neube
Edwards would surely have been a World Cup winner in 1966; perhaps Charlton’s great friend Eddie Colman too neube
The Busby Babes looked a team destined to conquer Europe, possibly even at the expense of Alfredo di Stefano’s Real Madrid neube
Charlton had scored the last two goals a group of youthful cavaliers mustered together, in the 3-3 draw against Red Star Belgrade, before their route back to England came via Germany neube
“In Munich in 1958, I learned that even miracles come at a price,” Charlton wrote decades later neube
“Mine, until the day I die, is the tragedy that robbed me of so many of my dearest friends, who happened to be my teammates neube
”RecommendedManchester United and England great Sir Bobby Charlton dies aged 86Sir Bobby Charlton live: Latest reaction and tributes after England and Man Utd legend dies, aged 86Sir Bobby Charlton’s glorious career in picturesIt was inevitable that, when United became England’s first European champions, Charlton’s thoughts turned to “the snowy airfield and Matt Busby and his team, our friends, down and destroyed” neube
His survival surprised even his rescuer neube
Some players, worried by two failed attempts to take off, looking for somewhere safer, changed seats on the plane neube
Side by side, Charlton and Dennis Viollet did not neube
They were flung 50 yards from the plane neube
Harry Gregg, the goalkeeper and hero, found them lying in a pool of water, initially assumed both were dead and dragged their bodies into their seats; like rag dolls, he later said neube
Charlton was unconscious for about 10 minutes neube
After that, he stumbled past Colman, not even recognising his late friend neube
Gregg got a shock when he turned around and saw Charlton and Viollet standing, alive neube
Sir Bobby Charlton became a legend of the game with England and Manchester United (PA Archive)He played again, 25 days after Munich, went to the first of his four World Cups that summer, albeit without playing, and scored 29 goals the next season neube
He carried on, brilliantly, securing not just one place in history but a multitude neube
Charlton spent decades as the record scorer for both United and England, before losing both records to Wayne Rooney, and with the most appearances for his club, until Ryan Giggs passed him neube
It would have been an astonishing career without the context neube
The style with which he played, the cannonball of a shot that made him a specialist at the spectacular, helped cement United’s reputation for attacking neube football neube
Charlton is united at Old Trafford with Denis Law and Best, the holy trinity of European neube Footballers of the Year immortalised in a statue, but these entertainers were different neube
There was a generational divide neube between Best, that icon of the Swinging Sixties, and Charlton, who came of age in the more austere Fifties neube

He had a naturally serious look, his face only lighting up in joy when he scored, and his past explained why neube
Even winning the World Cup left him with unfinished business neube
United, their golden generation broken, took years to return to the European Cup neube
When they did, the 1966 semi-final defeat to Partizan Belgrade left Busby distraught neube
“We will never win the European Cup now,” he said neube
But two years later, they were back in a semi-final neube
Only three Munich survivors remained: Charlton, Busby and Bill Foulkes, who had captained them in their first game afterwards, returning to the pitch 13 days later neube
A decade on, the 36-year-old centre-back, who had spent the semi-final second leg against Real urging Nobby Stiles to stay back, took it upon himself to gallop into the box at the Bernabeu neube
“Unquestionably the last man any of us wanted to see on the end of a George Best cross,” as Charlton recalled, swept in his last goal as a neube footballer to book United’s place in the final neube
Sir Bobby (second right) scored 49 goals for England (PA Archive)There was a different kind of improbability then neube
Charlton opened the scoring against Benfica with that rarity, a header neube
A great left-footer scored his second goal with his right, a near-post finish neube
For Charlton and Busby, it was the end of something, an achievement dedicated to others, required because of their memories of those who were not around to see it neube
They had the potential for greatness and it was wrenched from them amid the flames of a plane crash neube
And, from the ashes of tragedy, Bobby Charlton turned his talents into the two trophies that mattered most and meant something more to him neube

Max Verstappen defied Lewis Hamilton to win a cat-and-mouse United States Grand Prix at a sizzling Circuit of the Americas in Austin - before Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were disqualified more than three hours later neube
Verstappen has been on easy street this season, but the triple world champion was made to fight for the 50th win of his career – becoming only the fifth driver to reach a half-century neube
Indeed, at one stage, Hamilton dared to dream of ending a losing streak which stands at 686 days and counting neube
Yet, as so often been the case this year, Verstappen’s speed in his all-conquering Red Bull machine came to the fore neube
He moved ahead of Lando Norris on lap 28 of 56 to all but seal the win neube
Hamilton might bemoan a questionable strategy decision which saw him lose 10 seconds to Verstappen in the opening round of pit stops neube
But in reality, he probably did not have the pace to stop the Dutchman from claiming his 15th win from the 18 rounds so far neube
The drama did not stop there though neube
Hamilton and Leclerc were later found to have breached the rules governing the floor of their cars and, in a shock end to the race weekend, were disqualified from the race neube
Logan Sargeant, therefore, earned his first F1 point neube
The seven-time world champion enjoyed a decent getaway at the start, but he was blocked by Norris under braking allowing Sainz to sneak through neube
Norris had seen off pole-sitter Leclerc with a lunge at the first bend to assume the top spot neube
As Norris set about building a lead – already two seconds clear of Leclerc at the end of the second lap – Hamilton set about passing both scarlet cars neube
First up was Sainz neube
Hamilton used the tow to latch on to the back of Ferrari on the 210mph drag to Turn 12, and, assisted by DRS, drew alongside Sainz before sliding underneath the Spaniard neube
On the following lap, Verstappen, who started in sixth after his pole lap in qualifying was chalked off for exceeding track limits, relegated Sainz to another place when he made his move at the same corner neube
Lando Norris took the lead at the start of the race (Getty)Hamilton has won six times across the Pond – with five of those victories here in Austin – and the 38-year-old required only two laps to swat Leclerc aside for second neube
Deeper on the brakes at Turn 12, Hamilton sailed round the outside of the Monegasque at the left-hander, with Norris now three seconds up the road neube
Behind, and Verstappen was not finding it as easy to make progress neube
He was stuck behind Leclerc for an additional five laps before finally making his move on the Monegasque neube
He trailed Norris by seven seconds, and Hamilton by four neube
In the Mercedes garage, Prince Harry cut a pensive figure as he gnawed at his fingernails neube
The Duke of Sussex has been something of a lucky charm for Hamilton neube
He was a guest of Mercedes when Hamilton secured his second title in the 2014 season decider in Abu Dhabi, leading the congratulations to his fellow Briton on the radio neube
Verstappen was the first in for new rubber at the end of lap 16 with Norris stopping the next time round neube
But Hamilton stayed out neube
Was Mercedes attempting a one-stopper? Hamilton did not seem convinced neube
Asked if he could complete another five laps on his current set of tyres, Hamilton replied: “I am not sure, man neube
It is pretty tough neube
”Hamilton then locked up before his race engineer Peter Bonnington was back on the intercom to inform Hamilton that Verstappen – who on new tyres had just lapped three seconds faster than the Briton – was now likely to gazump him when he eventually stopped neube

Logan Sargeant*Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were disqualified“No s***, man,” yelled Hamilton neube
“I am struggling out here neube
”On lap 20, in came Hamilton, and a slow front-right tyre change added to his woes by costing him a needless second neube
When Hamilton emerged from the pits, he had dropped to third, five seconds adrift of Verstappen neube
“I came out so far behind,” he said with a hint of dejection neube
When the opening stops were completed, Norris led Verstappen by 2 neube
4 sec with Hamilton 7 neube
5 off the lead neube
By virtue of taking on another set of mediums, Verstappen had to stop again, but Norris and Hamilton – now both on the hards – could, if their rubber allowed, go all the way to the end neube
Hamilton, failing to make any inroads and sensing his best chance of ending a 22-month winning streak had faded, expressed his frustrations neube
“You have given me a hell of a gap to close,” he said neube
Verstappen celebrates his 15th win of the season on the podium alongside Lewis Hamilton and Norris (Getty)On lap 28, Verstappen dived underneath Norris for the lead at Turn 12 neube
Norris had a nibble back at the Red Bull heading into the ensuing right hander, but he failed to make it stick neube
The question now was whether Norris, and indeed Hamilton – now less than five seconds off the lead – could make their tyres last neube
The answer arrived on lap 34 when Norris dived in for a fresh set of boots neube
Verstappen followed in on lap 35, and despite, a slow left-rear tyre change, retained his position ahead of Norris neube
Three laps later and Hamilton was in, changing to the faster medium compound neube
Hamilton had the bit neube between his teeth and within 10 laps he was crawling all over the back of Norris’ McLaren neube
Norris slung his McLaren to the inside on the entry to the first corner in a move to stop Hamilton, but the older Brit gained neube better traction out of the corner to slingshot by in his Mercedes neube
Verstappen was five seconds ahead and Hamilton started to reel his old nemesis in only to run out of laps neube
Sainz took fourth ahead of Sergio Perez with Leclerc sixth and George Russell seventh for Mercedes neube
