- United legends come in all forms, from the skilful to the servants, to the hard men, to the leaders, to our heroes. And this man covers more than one of those traits.
Norbert 'Nobby' Stiles, a Manchester boy born and bred, and a massive supporter of the club, lived every schoolboys' dream by pulling on our famous jersey and playing under one of the greatest managers the game has ever seen, in a golden period for the club.
Loyal to the last, he is not only cherished in United fans' hearts, but also for England fans too, as his guts, determination and character helped bring football home in 1966! Find out more about him in this video on a United Legend!

Amazing character, a true United man, last season's lot should have learnt about him. What a legend. And Nobby dancing...! :)
Simply the best
Love him, proper bulldog and deserves our respect. RIP legend, sleep well fella
A true United legend. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it.
I remember my dad telling me about him, his bite was even worse than his bark :) An overlooked key member of that great side RIP Nobby ❤
That so looked like a penalty at 00:15, but no-one acted like it was...weird. Nobby was determination personified
Yeah, looked like that to me too, weird. Not his worst foul ever ;)
True great.
Very good video of the legend. Well done 👏
Glad you enjoyed it, videos on our legends, especially those unsung ones, are a core part of the channel
Back in the sixties and right up until the seventies it wasn't uncommon for football teams to travel back from away games on trains on which some of their supporters would be also travelling, This also applied to media figures, referees and other suchlike figures around the game and it so happened that a crowd of us found ourselves coming back from a United game and the word went round that Alf Ramsay was in the first class having presumably been at the game to have a look at one or two players. A bunch of us had the temerity to crowd into his compartment (one of the old sliding doors type) and he was ok and answering our questions very politely coming across very much as the sort of character he did through the media. At that time Nobby was still a figure of some controversy within football as mentioned vis-a-vis that France game, and the subject of him came up in the discussion. I will never forget Ramsay's response. He stopped talking and smile came across his face, he said nothing for a few seconds and then just said "Nobby was a great lad" and the. just carried on wistfully smiling lost in his own thought as if he didn't have the words to convey how much he thought of him. What a testament for Nobby
Thanks for the great anecdote mate :)
Brilliant player, great video mate
Much appreciated
Lovable thug. Key yo England and United
