LONDON: England fans paid their respects to the late Bobby Charlton at Wembley Stadium before the Euro 2024 qualifier with Malta on Friday, four days after the funeral of one of the country’s greatest players.

Thousands of mobile phones were held aloft in the darkness while a minute of applause was held just before kick-off as fans held aloft red and white cards spelling out “SIR BOBBY”.

It was the first England game since England and Manchester United great Charlton died on October 21 at the age of 86. Agencies
