Our latest Paddy Crerand Show on MUTV was illuminated by a special phone-call from Ivor Pacey in Nottingham.

The regular caller read out a stirring poem he penned in tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton, to mark the Old Trafford legend's 80th birthday today (Wednesday).

The seven-verse rhyme emotionally charts the great man's journey from Ashington in the North East of England to greatness, including winning the greatest honours in the club and international game with the Reds and his country.

Watch our special video and join everybody at the club in wishing Sir Bobby many happy returns.
