 | | One of his uncles, the Newcastle United centre forward Jackie Milburn, was a professional footballer, but it was Charlton's mother Cissie who coached him at first. |
 | | Though Charlton was a candidate to go in goal to replace Wood (in the days before substitutes, and certainly before goalkeeping substitutes), it was team-mate Jackie Blanchflower who ended up between the sticks. |
 | | Gregg returned to the plane to try to help the appallingly injured Busby and Blanchflower and when he turned round again, he got the relief of his life when he saw that Charlton and Viollet, whom he'd presumed to be dead, had both got out of their detached seats and were looking into the wreckage. |
