Rich Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 Help required for a fading memory. Can anyone recall a testimonial match where Bobby Charlton made a guest appearance. I believe it was late 70's or early 80's. When he was on the pitch, he ran the show, even though he'd been retired quite a while. It wasn't the 66 WC squad testimonial of the early 70's. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly not, this was the earlier one that I'd mentioned. He made a cameo appearance and looked as if he could still play at a good level, not sure of his then age but I think he was in his forties.

Willie Morgan is an interesting inclusion, he is about as English as Gerry Gow or Tom Ritchie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
