Transcript
00:00 I was very fortunate to be asked to speak at the luncheon before the Everton game when
00:08 they named the stands, the Bobby Charlton stand from the South stand.
00:11 And so I exposed and myself had to speak at this wonderful luncheon.
00:19 And before we went in, Bobby was there and I went over to him and said, "You okay?"
00:25 And he seemed, he was humble.
00:29 He was very humble.
00:30 And he actually said to me, "I don't deserve this."
00:33 I said, "Bobby, you deserve every honor that you've received throughout your football career
00:40 and whatever else is to come."
00:43 And because, and if you look back, if you ever see that, when he came on the pitch with
00:47 his lovely wife, Norma, the tears were in his eyes, what was happening.
00:52 And that was Bobby.
00:53 He was so humble and a great guy.
