    Sorry to read this, although not a footie fan, I do remember watching Nobby play in the 1966 World Cup Final.

    And socks around his ankles! Yes, that will be my abiding memory of him too. A much underrated but essential part of those great England and United teams.

    One by one the heroes of '66 are passing.

    RIP Nobby Stiles

    As you say Moulesy, much underrated but never by those he played against.  100% given every time he walked on the pitch,

    Rest in Peace Nobby

    An iconic figure, one of my boyhood heroes, so sad.
