BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about Bobby Charlton
I don’t recall Wright, or Moore, or Bobby Charlton going through this awful, degrading business of virtually begging to be picked for England

Beckham was an above-average player who was pretty good with a dead ball. Thanks to a number of late 'come-ons', when he is well past his prime, he surpasses the great Bobby Charlton in the appearance stakes. Yet he doesn't hold a candle to Charlton's achievements or his outstanding ability. Charlton played his heart out over the whole of every game.

When you look at the final image you will associate it with the great team of 1968 with the likes of George Best and Bobby Charlton. Obviously they won the European Cup in blue so we hope we can walk in their shoes again with this kit as it's such a big part of the history of the club

The Munich air crash didn't affect my view of Germany ... Not in any bad way, certainly. In fact, the opposite. The treatment that we had in Germany was magnificent. That's all I can say. The Rechts der Isar hospital - the club brought all of them over, the professors and the surgeons, to go to Old Trafford so that the public could thank them. It was magic.
