We look back at his early days at Old Trafford, how he helped United to the title in 1957 and the aftermath of that devastating night in Germany which saw him lose so many close friends and teammates.
Sir Bobby thought about quitting the game after Munich, but his love of football was too strong and he returned to the pitch to help start a new chapter in the club's story.
And he became a national hero on that summer's day in 1966 as he and Alf's boys clinched the World Cup at Wembley with an extra-time win over West Germany.
Two years later he became one of only two England players to win both the World Cup and European Cup as the Reds overcame Benfica to lift the trophy.
League titles and FA Cups followed, as did world-wide fame for a man who - humble as ever - never courted it.
