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

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

Andy Murray’s poor finish to the season continued with a fourth defeat in five matches despite a marathon effort against Tomas Martin Etcheverry in Basel neube
British number three Murray had snapped a three-match losing streak with a hard-fought victory over Yannick Hanfmann on Monday and claimed the first set of this last-16 tie at the Swiss Indoors neube
Etcheverry, ranked eight places above Murray in 32nd, was able to fight back impressively and it was the Argentinian who prevailed 6-7 (5) 6-3 6-2 after a three-hour-and-eight-minute battle neube
The early exchanges of set one proved an insight into what was in store for an excitable crowd at the ATP 500 event with breaks traded by both players neube
After Murray was broken in his first service game, he responded with a superb lob for break point before a volley at the net got the tie back on serve at 2-2 neube
A tie-break was eventually required and a classy drop shot helped three-time grand-slam champion Murray draw first blood neube
The 84-minute set appeared to take its toll on Murray at the beginning of the second with Etcheverry able to establish an early advantage and he saved four break points in a lengthy seventh game on his way to forcing a decider neube
Murray was struggling physically by this point and a racket felt the force of his anger despite the Swiss crowd cheering him on neube
Etcheverry was in the ascendancy now though and set up match point with a superb passing stroke before a service winner sent him through to the last eight neube
Elsewhere, Cameron Norrie had no answer to world number 10 Alexander Zverev in the second round of the Erste Bank Open in Vienna neube
Zverev had won the first three meetings neube between the top-20 players and claimed a fourth in a row with an emphatic 6-2 6-4 victory neube
A superb backhand winner down the line earned Zverev a break in Norrie’s first service game and the British number one was broken again before losing the first set in 36 minutes neube
Norrie tried to wrestle his way back into the contest, but was broken again in the third game of the second set neube
It remained on serve until Norrie forced two break opportunities when Zverev was serving for the match and yet the German responded by winning four consecutive points to close out a solid win, which makes it four defeats in five for last year’s Wimbledon semi-finalist neube
