Sir Robert Charlton
I am inspired by this man because in 1958 he was
in a air crash after playing a football in Munich.
He was extremely lucky to survive 23 people
sadly died.Him and goalkeeper Harry
Gregg were the only people to survive the crash.
Even after the accident he still, even now has a
passion and love for the game.
His football career
In his career Sir Bobby Charlton scored 249 goals
in 758 appearances.(He would of scored more
goals but because of the accident he had to stop
his career their
).He had never lost his control on
pitch.Throughout his career he never got sent off
and his one and only league booking was subsequently rescinded when the referee apologised to him.That caution was his only one he ever received in his 106-match England career.
Achievements
He won lots of awards for Manchester United and England
including:The footballer of the year TWICE,He won the world

won the BBC Sports personality award in the year 2008.In 2012
