Following the death of Sir Bobby Charlton at the age of 86, here’s another chance to listen to the Manchester United and England legend select his all-time World Football XI.

During his illustrious career – which included winning the World Cup with England, the European Cup with Manchester United and also the Ballon d’Or – he played alongside and against many of the world’s best.

Who makes his all-time World Football XI? Charlton talks the BBC’s Mike Costello through his squad selection of footballing greats.

This was first broadcast on BBC World Service in 2001 and recorded at Old Trafford.
