NOBBY STILES, OBE |
| Nobby Stiles, OBE, famous for his toothless grin and victory dance in the 1966 England World Cup victory, was known as one of the "Hard men" that were commonplace in the 1960's and 70's. An enthusiastic half-back he was extremely popular with United and England fans alike, renowned for his hard, tough tackling, expert skills at spotting potential danger and man marking. However, there was much more to Nobby than just his hard man image. It was his ability to read the game and his excellent tactical awareness that allowed the flair players like Best and Charlton to do their stuff. His famous victory jig at Wembley in front of the television cameras after collecting his winners' medal showed his love and excitement for the game of football. From 1989 to 1993 Nobby had the post of youth team coach where he worked with many of United's current first team players such as Ryan Giggs, David Beckham and Gary Neville. |
