* 1998: Two days after the French football team became World Cup champions, huge celebrations took place nationwide.

A member of the England team who won the World Cup and Ballon d ' Or for European Footballer of the Year in 1966, he played almost all of his club football at Manchester United, where he became renowned for his attacking instincts and passing abilities from midfield and his ferocious long-range shot.

After helping United to win the Football League in 1965, he won a World Cup medal with England in 1966 and another Football League title with United the following year.

He was selected for the squad which competed at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, but didn't kick a ball, something at which critics expressed surprise and bewilderment, even allowing for his lacklustre performance in Belgrade.

He played in qualifiers for the 1962 World Cup in Chile against Luxembourg and Portugal and was named in the squad for the finals themselves.

In between, there was the pressing matter for Charlton of the 1966 World Cup for which England, as hosts, had not needed to qualify.

By now, England were coached by Alf Ramsey who had managed to gain sole control of the recruitment and team selection procedure from the committee-based call-up system which had lasted up to the previous World Cup.

Charlton's role was developing from traditional inside-forward to what today would be termed an attacking midfield player, with Ramsey planning to build the team for the 1966 World Cup around him.

This was his 48th goal for his country – his 49th and final goal would follow a month later in a 4 – 0 win over Colombia during a warm-up tour for the 1970 World Cup, designed to get the players adapted to altitude conditions.

Charlton's inevitable selection by Ramsey for the tournament made him the first – and still, to date, only – England player to feature in four World Cup squads.

Shortly before the World Cup Charlton was involved in the Bogotá Bracelet incident in which he and Bobby Moore were accused of stealing a bracelet from a jewellery store.
