On April 28th 1973, Bobby Charlton played his last league game for Manchester United, a 0-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge. His 6 league goals in the 1972-3 season contributed little to United's position, which ended just above the relegation zone in the First Division. On the same day, brother Jackie played his last game for Leeds United at the Dell against Southampton.
