Re: Nobby Stiles RIP
England World Cup winner Nobby Stiles dies aged 78
(Manchester United)
England World Cup winner and former Manchester United player Nobby Stiles has died at the age of 78.
UPDATEDUPDATED 4 HOURS AGO
Stiles' family confirmed that the one-time midfielder passed away peacefully on Friday after a long illness.
Manchester-born Stiles earned 28 caps for England and was a big part of the squad that won the World Cup in 1966.
Two years later, he was part of the United side that became the first English club to win the European Cup.
He made almost 400 appearances for United in all competitions across an 11-year spell at Old Trafford and went on to play for Middlesbrough and Preston North End, before hanging up his boots in 1975.
A statement from United read: "We are extremely saddened to learn of the passing of Nobby Stiles MBE.
"An integral part of our first-ever European Cup-winning side, Nobby was a titan of the club's history, cherished for his heart and personality on and off the pitch. He will be sorely missed by us all."
The England national team Twitter account posted: "We're incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of Nobby Stiles, a key member of our World Cup-winning squad, at the age of 78. All of our thoughts are with Nobby's loved ones."
Former England striker Gary Lineker was also among those to pay tribute to Stiles on social media, tweeting: "Saddened to hear that Nobby Stiles has passed away.
"Another of our 1966 World Cup winning heroes leaves us. He had a heart that was even bigger than the gap in his teeth. RIP Nobby."

RIP Nobby, I'll never forget those twenty yard, sliding two footed, challenges in the mud of Old Trafford.
Wouldn't get away with them today but there was never any malice in anything you did. OM

Re: Nobby Stiles RIP
Millwall have an american owner, he seems pretty good so far. I don't see how his nationality changes anything, I care more about less foreign players than I do about less foreign owners.theorakle wrote: ↑Thu Nov 05, 2020 9:32 amsurely you realise I wasn't refering to American players, just the rich owners who try to change everything they didn't invent,God is an Englishman wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 12:16 pmIt's not true at all, I always liked Kasey Keller and John Kerr was our first goalscorer at The "New" Den.theorakle wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 12:14 pmracism stop being a millwall troll champ. you know what i posted is true im sorry to say.
