I missed it myself but will catch it up on the Iplayer over the weekend. These things are usually done very well by the Beeb.

A great servant to England and football and worthy of ignoring his club ties. ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap

I caught the back end of it and totally agree. What a gent, he kept repeating how lucky he was. Every one regarded him in 1966 as the best around and Pele was still playing then.
I wonder how many of todays top players will look back like Bobby can, no regrets no baggage no cheating or conning referees.
I thought the part about Munich was very emotional, even Bobby was close to tears several times especially when talking about Duncan Edwards.
Great TV.

What a genuine,down to earth,and humble man.
Far far removed from the so called professional football players of today.

Thought the program was great,i have read his autobiography the man u day’s which i belive the program was based on, there is not many people in the world i would love to meet but he is one of them.

As a liverpool fan I can’t stand anything utd,but the players like Sir Bobby,Nobby Stiles,George Best and all the team who won the first european cup seem a breed apart from todays teams.Sir Bobby always comes across as an absolute gentleman and although used too much these days he is a legend.God knows what he thinks to todays preening,posturing,diving and imaginary card waving prima-donnas.A fantastic man,from an era when club loyalties did’nt stop us from appreciating great players.

does any body know what day it was on and what it was called I’m trying to find it on the i player

It’s not going to be on iplayer mate don’t know why!
