Manchester United great Bryan Robson has paid tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton.
Charlton passed away on Saturday at the age of 86.
Robson wrote for the Daily Mail: "Sir Bob, as I knew him, dedicated his life to Manchester United and I consider myself very fortunate to have known him.
"He was described by Sir Matt Busby, his great mentor, as 'near perfection for a man and player as it is possible to be'. That summed him up.
"He was immensely talented, but what happened at the 1958 Munich air disaster made him all the more determined to succeed, not so much for himself but for those beloved friends and team-mates he lost.
"The legacy of the Busby Babes and the style in which they played has long been the template for how United teams should perform and he, above everyone, carried that forward.
"He was a humble, very private man despite what he achieved and kept his emotions to himself."
