1963 FA Cup Final Program Signed by Bobby Charlton

Description

Sir Robert Charlton CBE played as a midfielder and is regarded as one of the greatest players of all time.  He was an inspirational member of the England team that won the 1966 FIFA World Cup, the year he also won the Ballon d'Or.  He played almost all of his club football at Manchester United, where he became renowned for his attacking instincts, his passing abilities from midfield and his ferocious long-range shot, as well as his fitness and stamina.  The 1963 FA Cup Final was played at Wembley Stadium (which was fully roofed for the first time) on 25 May 1963 and contested by Manchester United and Leicester City. United won 3–1, with a goal from Denis Law and two from David Herd.
The match program was signed prior to the game and is accompanied by the community song sheet from the day.  These items were formerly part of the prestigious Football History collection at the Charleston Battery stadium in South Carolina.  They are both in excellent condition and a certificate of authenticity is included.
