There he is, pictured on the front page of the mail on sunday. This is the sunday mirror. What a great shot. What a great shot. Brilliant front page if youre listening on the radio, its just one of Bobby Charlton when he was a bit younger, you know, he looks as though hes dancing, but, you know, hes just kicking a ball in a way that must be when that honestly, that must be when hes his early 20s. Hes in his early 20s. We will never forget him, nor will football and the observer there , hes pictured on the front. And i think what what you see now is that you dont just have to be into football or even into sport to understand there on the front page of the people forever, a hero. He was he was he was a great brit, wasnt he . Yeah, a hero to the whole world says the sun on sunday. And thats actually a quote from David Beckham of all people. Of course. Of course. Yeah. And there inside the sun, see National Icon and sun, you see National Icon and even on the front page of the times, i see one of the writers says with his passing a little piece of england has died. Yeah. Fair point. And thats sometimes our hero, says the daily star sunday. And theres only one of them left now. Our 1966 world cup heroes. Theres the sunday heroes. Theres the sunday telegraph. Telegraph. He was the sunday telegraph. He was the sunday telegraph. Its only in the top, the very top in black. So its not that obvious if you just sort of glancing at the screen.

Its interesting mail on sunday on their picture of him at it says the hero of 1966 that every englishman wished was his son. Oh which is quite an which is quite an interesting sort of take on it all, isnt it . But you know, i think probably at the time. Thats right. The time. Thats right. If you pass me the sun on sunday there because theres a lovely picture in it somewhere here and there where he he was because as we know, he was he was in that terrible munich air crash that killed eight of his team mates. He was team mates. He was only 18 then. But if you see there, hes pictured in hospital just shortly after that crash. He was one of the crash. He was one of the survivors and obviously but he he lived with survivor guilt it is said he never never got over it. And they say he never smiled it. And they say he never smiled again after that because he had this sort of sense of survivor guilt. But this sort of sense of survivor guilt. But incredibly went on to become a complete football legend. And. And where is it . Theres and. And where is it . Theres one of the papers is which i cant see it now. Where it describes him as you know, the nicest man in football , which nicest man in football, which again, i think is nice because a lot of these big celebs now, they do have a reputation for being. Being. Thats another another one. Oh thats the miners son who became englands greatest. But a lot of people have a reputation, dont they, of just, you know, they get a bit up themselves. Yeah. And he always , themselves. Yeah. And he always, always had that reputation of just being a nice man. Its, i mean , ive been its, i mean, ive been reading quite a bit about him and apparently not in the final, the World Cup Final, but in the semi final where apparently england beat portugal 2 0. I think he scored those two goals. But his dad , who was a miner, but his dad, who was a miner, was 800 foot down the pits at the time at the time, because hed tried to get days off to go and see his son do so well. Both his sons do so well, but he thought hed better not push that particular semi final one. So he he went he went into work and he was down the pit when his son scored those two winning goals and got england through to the a lovely story. The final. A lovely story. Amazing, isnt it . Amazing, isnt it . Just different time, actually. Anyway, if youve got any particular memories all of particular memories at all of him if he inspired you into him or if he inspired you into football, maybe let us know what your are. Your stories are. Vaiews gbnews. Uk com. Now to the world of politics. The Prime Minister is set to mark his first year in number 10 this coming wednesday. But of course, there are problems at home and abroad. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. According to reports, up to 25 mp5 according to reports, up to 25 mps could be set to hand in letters of no confidence to the 1922 committee after, of course , 1922 committee after, of course, the loss of those two by elections on thursday. Elections on thursday. On the other hand, the channel migrant crisis and the war in ukraine and the middle east have also added to the prime headaches. Prime ministers headaches. Isnt it incredible to but isnt it incredible to think that tory mps think think that some tory mps think now is the right time to call for yet another leader . Joining us now is political commentator peter spencer. Good morning, peter spencer. Good morning, peter. Surely now is i mean, i cant even think of who they are proposing whats going on when 25 apparently mps are set to put in letters of no confidence. In letters of no confidence. I mean, youre absolutely right. And if they were to choose yet another leader at this stage of the game, they wouldnt so much be voted out of office as laughed out of office because they would look so utterly, grotesquely shambolic that they just would reveal themselves as unfit for office. Thats said, even the most sanguine of pollsters are suggesting that the possibility of a 1997 style landslide, the one that swept tony blair into office, is or could be a runner. Now, the conservative party has had a collective collywobbles for some time now. The story is that that these so called 25 mps thinking about putting in letters of no confidence were actually this idea was around before even these by elections took place. Now that they have andits took place. Now that they have and its worth remembering also there could be another one because peter bone, the veteran tory mp, could well be on the way up, triggering yet another in yet another tory safe seat. In yet another tory safe seat. The possibility arises of yet more problems within the party and i was in conservative Central Office in 1997 on that seismic night. And believe you me, i witnessed them going through the nine circles of hell. Not a pretty sight, not a happy bunny, not a happy ship. Happy bunny, not a happy ship. No, no , its not at all. Mind no, no, its not at all. Mind you, this figure of 25, i mean, it doesnt actually mean anything, does it . Because what would they need . 15 of 352, whatever that is. 50 odd. Whatever that is. 50 odd. Absolutely. Yeah, sure, sure. Absolutely. Yeah, sure, sure. I mean, to some extent this is a bit of a flyer, but it is indicative of the state of the appalling state of morale within the conservative party and the two factions that were talking about here are those who say bofis about here are those who say Boris Johnson should never have gonein Boris Johnson should never have gone in the first place. And those who fear the party is drifting or being dragged to the right and fear that that this actually is bad for the country as well as their own electoral prospects. Aukus and indeed, there are masses of other fact patterns within the conservative party bubbling away. I mean, it does not come across as a cohesive force at all. In stark contrast, i have to say to Keir Starmers labour party now in his boringly efficient way, he has clearly out the audience stables on his side. Clearly out the audience stables on his side. So the clearly out the audience stables on his side. So the contrast on his side. So the contrast between his party conference, which was was neat and tight and tidy and disciplined ed and the conservative party conference, which was all over the place , which was all over the place, could hardly be more vivid. Could hardly be more vivid. Okay , peter, good to talk to okay, peter, good to talk to you this morning. Thank you very much indeed. It it does make you much indeed. It it does make you wonder what some of these tories are thinking. Mind you, if they just think maybe they think know someone at the top who is, in their view, more conservative, it would make them more electable. Well thats what we must hearing and again, must be hearing again and again, dont that the rishi sunak dont we, that the rishi sunak isnt conservative enough. Isnt conservative enough. But who are they trying to put fonnard in that case . I mean, there are no names. There are no more unless liz mean, there are no names. There are ntbacke unless liz mean, there are no names. There are n back again unless liz mean, there are no names. There are n back again. Unless liz truss back again. Um, Penny Mordaunt, i think quite fancy. Penny mordaunt is an interesting one, but, but to change leader now, i suppose they could calculate. All right, weve got a year, but i dont see that it would be a good look for them to be in any further chaos. Wouldnt, you wouldnt you wouldnt, you wouldnt have so. But let us know have thought so. But let us know what think. What you think. Vaiews gbnews. Com it 615. If vaiews gbnews. Com it is 615. If youve us, these are youve just joined us, these are our top stories morning.
