<\/p>\nTOMMY CHARLTON is the younger brother of two of England's most famous World Cup heroes.<\/p>\n
Sadly, Tommy is the last remaining Charlton brother following the deaths of his revered siblings.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tommy Charlton is the baby brother of football stars Sir Bobby Charlton and Jack Charlton, and their sibling Gordon.<\/p>\n
He is the youngest son of Robert "Bob" Charlton and Elizabeth Ellen "Cissie" Charlton.<\/p>\n
Tommy didn't follow in Bobby and Jack's footsteps and play the sport professionally but in 2018 he did make his national footballing debut.<\/p>\n
Tommy, then aged 72, was picked for the Over 60s England walking football side.<\/p>\n
His older siblings weren't in attendance at the match but did send Tommy a sweet note wishing him luck.<\/p>\n Tommy and wife Carol share three children and are also proud grandparents.<\/p>\n Tommy's older brother Bobby was a Manchester United legend who, after surviving the 1958 Munich air crash, went on to become one of the club's greatest-ever players.\u00a0<\/p>\n Bobby won England's first and only World Cup in 1966 alongside Sir Bobby Moore, Martin Peters, and his brother Jack.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n He was also United's all-time top goalscorer until 2017 when Wayne Rooney broke the record.<\/p>\n Bobby, whose dementia diagnosis was revealed in 2020, passed away in October 2023 after an accidental fall at a care home.<\/p>\n Tommy and Bobby's eldest sibling Jack was also a footballer but played for Bobby's team Man Utd's rivals Leeds United.\u00a0<\/p>\n After retiring from playing he was manager for Middlesbrough, Sheffield Wednesday and Newcastle, before moving to the Republic of Ireland where he stayed as manager for a decade.<\/p>\n Jack died in July 2020 after suffering from dementia and lymphoma.\u00a0<\/p>\n Gordon, Tommy's other brother who, like him, didn't venture into football, had sadly also passed away.<\/p>\n In January 2023 Jack Charlton's s son John told the\u00a0Daily Star Sunday that Gordon had died of the same causes as his father.<\/p>\n He said: "Gordon died about a month ago, of cancer, and he had dementia"<\/p>\n Following the death of Sir Bobby Charlton in 2023, Tommy released an emotional tribute to his "hero".<\/p>\n In the statement, the grandfather also spoke about Jack who had passed away three years previously.<\/p>\n Speaking to\u00a0The Mirror, Tommy said: "Throughout my life, from being a little boy, I have never felt anything other than pride in both of Jack and Bob.<\/p>\n \u201cBeing the youngest, Jack was a big, towering guy, my big brother, I looked up to him growing up. <\/p>\n "And I respected Bob\u2019s integrity and intelligence, you could talk to him about any subject".<\/p>\n Tommy continued: "I am a little bit annoyed that football took them away from me when we were young.<\/p>\n "From the age of ten, I would see them when they came home from their clubs, or we went to visit…Other families were growing up together.<\/p>\n "If ever there was a place reserved in heaven, it is for Bob. <\/p>\n "He is going to be up there, he was world famous, he was so loved.<\/p>\n \u201cHe and Jack were everybody\u2019s heroes, they were idols to other people, but to me, they were my brothers".<\/p>\n Tommy concluded: "That is where my heart is, with my brothers."<\/p>\n Previously, after news of Bobby's dementia diagnosis was made public in 2020, Tommy gave an update as to how his sibling was doing.<\/p>\n Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "I spoke to Bob today, I phoned his wife to see how he was and she put him on.<\/p>\n "He's having a good day today, it was very rewarding [to hear], it was very good news.<\/p>\n "He has bad days and good days. He was almost in tears when we were talking, I'm afraid I was as well.<\/p>\n "He's always known [how much he is loved].<\/p>\n "Bob's the sort of fella that everyone loves, I've never heard anyone say anything nasty about him, or criticise him.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TM-comp-bobby-charlton-1.jpg\")
