Sir Bobby Charlton picked up the 2008 BBC Sports Personality's Lifetime Achievement award tonight. Charlton, 71, helped England to World Cup success in 1966 of course and then led Manchester United to European Cup glory in 1968, scoring twice in the final.
The award, which recognises Sir Bobby's 50 years dedicated to football, was presented to him by brother Jack. Charlton received a standing ovation from the 9,000-capacity audience inside the Liverpool Echo Arena. England 1966 shirts signed by ten of the winning team, including Charlton, and 1968 European Cup shirts are both available in the icons shop.
