There is a new book out about Bobby and Jackie Charlton. Probably I won`t get a chance to look at it where I live. Has anybody read it?

I am very interested in this book as I believe that apart from acknowledgement of his superb skills on the pitch, Bobby has never received the credit he deserves as a human being.

George Best made a number of bitchy cracks about Bobby and I understand that Bobby was withdrawn and therefore not the most popular of men in the Manchester United teams he played in. However, don`t forget Bobby was in the Munich disaster as a young man and most likely never got over that.

He is one of my heroes (more so than Bestie as he had and has a dignity absent from the likes of Bestie and Crerand) and so I would like to know if anyone has read that book yet?
 
I find it amazing that bobby doesn`t get the credit in britain he deserves while george best is the big hero . In europe is is the opposite. Bobby Charlton is known as one of the greatest players ever while George Best doesn`t get the credit he deserves. Sadly he is here more known for his drinking problems than for his football skills.
