    Top 10 - Number 3: Sir Bobby Charlton

    Stats for Utd: 249 goals in 758 games

    Honours with Utd: 4 Charity Shields, 3 First Division titles, 1 FA Cup and 1 European Cup

    Why: As well as being a key part to the England's World Cup success in 1966 and winning the European Footballer of the Year in the same year, Charlton is renowned as one of the greatest players of all time.

    Charlton may be known to some for his floppy sweep over and his dangly legs, but he has been one of the most important figures in the last century when it comes to both club and country. He was knighted to Sir Robert Charlton in 1994 for his achievements in the game and was also awarded with BBC Sports Personality of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008, handed over by his brother Jack.

    He is also admired because of his participation in saving lives during the Munich disaster. When the Manchester United plane crashed and caught fire in 1958, Charlton was one of the lucky survivors and joined in with the attempts to rescue the lives of his teammates.
