The miners son from Northumberland was a player with sublime and unique talent, a soccer idol without the proverbial feet of clay, and he remains the British games finest living international ambassador. "Simeon I am sorry I am not able to introduce you to the players personally as I have a prior appointment to keep, but I will leave you in the care of a very good friend, Mr. Furguson, manager of the Manchester's team" Well I thought it was a shame that Mr. Charlton had to leave for I wanted an interview with some one as unique as him but I decided to get the interview any way. "Mr. Jones, you"re a very fortunate man to have been sitting next to a legend as that, every time I see him it brings a smile to my face" Mr. Furguson said "How long have you known Mr. Charlton" I asked " Oh since the beginning, even though he is 8 years older than me, I feel like he is my brother, we both grew up in the North east of England, he came from Northumberland which is a small coal mining village, which around that time was the only source for work in that area, it was said "you either work in the coal pits, or your talented, and you played soccer"" "Really, did you ever have the chance of meeting Mr. Charltons family?" I asked, Mr. Furguson retorted "Yes I knew them well, although they have passed now, they were a family of great footballers. Bobby's mother Cissie Charlton was married to the great English Center Forward Jackie Milburn, as well as four of his uncles all played premiership soccer. You see Bobby was born second into a family of four, in 1937, and the house where he grew up was much like that of my own, having no running hot water, no bathroom, or central heating, even the food was cooked on an open fire. The coal was kept across the street next to the outhouse, and a bath was to given once a week in his grandmother's home. It's funny really, Bobbys real father, was a coal miner through and through, who had little or no interest in soccer, you see he was a boxer, and wanted bobby to grow up "the right way, the English way" thus he wanted him to box.
