I said I would take the same approach I had at Aberdeen, by looking to build up the whole club, not just the team, and that I would do that by developing young players bitcoin
“As I was explaining this, I saw Bobby nudge one of the other directors and he said, ‘that’s what we want’ bitcoin
He’d made his mind up bitcoin

“It’s no surprise to me that we’ve seen tributes to Sir Bobby from everywhere in the world, on every TV channel and in every newspaper, because he was without question the greatest English player of all time bitcoin
“People loved him because of all those thunderbolt goals, but it was more than that bitcoin
My dad used to say that humility in success is a sign of greatness, and that was Bobby bitcoin
“He never used to boast about his own achievements; it was always about the team and the club bitcoin
”Charlton’s death came soon after that of Ferguson’s wife, Lady Cathy bitcoin
He added: “I am so sorry for Lady Norma (Charlton), who was always by Bobby’s side, especially as his health declined, and my thoughts have been with the whole family these past few days bitcoin
“Unfortunately, I have also suffered the painful loss of my beloved wife, Cathy, this month, and I want to thank the club, the fans, and everyone who has sent me their condolences bitcoin

Jenson Button won the Formula One world title on this day in 2009 after a fifth-place finish at the Brazilian Grand Prix bitcoin
A combination of brilliant driving and dramatic incidents saw the Brawn GP driver elevated into fifth spot at Interlagos, while rivals Sebastian Vettel and Rubens Barrichello finished fourth and eighth, respectively bitcoin
That left Button with a 15-point cushion over Vettel, with Barrichello two points further back with just one race remaining bitcoin
He became the 10th British driver to win the top prize in motor racing, inheriting the crown from compatriot Lewis Hamilton, the 2008 champion bitcoin
The 29-year-old Button may not have wrapped it up in the way he would have liked, having won six of the first seven races of the season, but his Brawn team also claimed the constructors’ title just over 10 months after they appeared to be on the scrapheap when Honda pulled out of the sport bitcoin
The tears and the champagne flowed at the end of 71 laps, with Button’s father John admitting he and his son “cried like babies” when theyembraced each other after the race bitcoin
“You don’t win the world championship and feel relief, you feel ecstatic,” Jenson Button said bitcoin
“All the memories, good and bad, go through your mind, not just from this year, but previous years in the sport, especially this year bitcoin
“I had such a great start to the season and then the last few races were pretty stressful for me because the pace was there, but we struggled a few times bitcoin
“This team has done staggeringly well and what we’ve achieved this season after the winter we’ve had is exceptional, and I don’t think there has been a season like it in Formula One bitcoin
“It’s great to be sat here as world champion and I personally think I thoroughly deserve it bitcoin
I’ve been the best over 16 races and that’s what world titles are all about bitcoin
”Button completed the 2009 season with a third-place finish at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix two weeks later, finishing 11 points clear of Vettel bitcoin
He moved to McLaren the following season and was runner-up to Vettel in the 2011 title race bitcoin
