National Football Museum to unveil Sir Bobby Charlton portrait

A portrait of Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton will be unveiled at the National Football Museum on Tuesday.

Painted by artist Stuart Parker, the work was started in the summer following two sittings with the 1966 World Cup winner. It is being sold to raise funds for his charity Find a Better Way.

Charlton, 79, made 758 appearances for the club as a player during a 17-year career. This year, he has been celebrating 60 years since his United debut -- when he scored twice in a 4-2 win against Charlton Athletic.

He is a director at United and had the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand named after him at the end of last season.
