EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a historic moment at Old Trafford as Bobby Charlton's name illuminates the new electronic scoreboard. This achievement marks yet another record for the legendary Manchester United skipper, who surpasses Bill Foulkes' number of League appearances with his remarkable 564th game against Liverpool. Foulkes himself, now serving as the reserve team coach, graciously acknowledges Charlton's feat and praises him as a phenomenal player both past and present. Charlton's illustrious career began on October 6th, 1956, when he made his first League appearance against Charlton Athletic. In that memorable debut match, he showcased his immense talent by scoring two goals in a resounding 4-2 victory. Since then, he has graced the First Division Football stage for an impressive sixteen seasons. The photograph captures not only the pride etched across Charlton's face but also the electric atmosphere within Old Trafford. The cheering crowd symbolizes unwavering support for their beloved club and its iconic captain. However, despite their enthusiasm on this particular day in April 1972, Manchester United suffered a defeat with a scoreline of 0-3 against Liverpool. This image from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to an era where records were broken and legends were born.
