A new mural depicting the late Sir Bobby Charlton has been painted on The Trafford pub near to the home of Manchester United.

Sir Bobby passed away at the age of 86 on October 21. His funeral, attended by 1,000 people including legends of the game, was held at Manchester Cathedral on Monday (November 13).

That was accompanied by a memorial procession, which passed by Old Trafford and the Holy Trinity Statue — which depicts Charlton with George Best and Denis Law, the attacking trio which spearheaded the Red Devils to win the 1968 European Cup, becoming the first English team to do so. In all, Sir Bobby made 758 appearances for United, won the 1966 World Cup with England, and was his country’s record goalscorer until 2015.

Now, a new mural has been painted at The Trafford pub. It sits opposite Sir Matt Busby Way, named in honour of the manager who brought Sir Bobby into the club, and is the approach to the Theatre of Dreams.

That stadium, steeped in history, has a stand named after Sir Alex Ferguson. United’s most successful boss said he only achieved what he did at the club ‘because of Bobby Charlton’.

United's home ground is just metres from the pub

“He was a fantastic man,” said Ferguson after the funeral service on Monday. “I was at United because of Bobby Charlton, no question about that. From the day I came, he supported me 100 percent, all the way.

“He was totally behind me in everything we tried to do in terms of youth and, as I said, I was there because of Bobby. It was very sombre [the service]. There was a wonderful tribute from his grandson. I thought it was fantastic. It's not easy to get up there and speak, and the speakers did a great job.”
