England and Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton has died aged 86 after a battle with dementia.

Sir Bobby, who made 758 appearances for his club and earned 106 caps for his beloved country, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family this morning. 

He is survived by his wife Lady Norma, their two daughters Suzanne and Andrea and grandchildren.

The gifted footballer, who was born in Ashington, Northumberland, on October 11, 1937, is widely viewed as one of the greats of the game and was part of England's 1966 World Cup winning side. 

Following his death, Sir Geoff Hurst - who famously scored a hat-trick in England's 4-2 victory over West Germany at Wembley - is now the only member of the team still alive. Former England right-back George Cohen died aged 83 in December.

A statement from the family of Sir Bobby said: 'It is with great sadness that we share the news that Sir Bobby passed peacefully in the early hours of Saturday morning. He was surrounded by his family. 

'His family would like to pass on their thanks to everyone who has contributed to his care and for the many people who have loved and supported him. We would request that the family's privacy be respected at this time.'

Manchester United said they were mourning 'one of the greatest and most beloved players in the history of our club.' 

Sir Bobby had withdrawn from public life since he was diagnosed with dementia in November 2020, just four months after his elder brother Jack Charlton - another 1966 hero - died aged 85. He was one of five of England's 1966 winners to suffer from the debilitating illness after his brother, Nobby Stiles, Ray Wilson and Martin Peters.
