Nobby Stiles' priceless assets were his ferocious will to win combined with an inner drive to compete against even the most gifted of opponents.
Although only 5ft 6ins, he was immensely strong in the tackle and possessed seemingly endless energy forever raging at his colleagues to give of their best.
A clever player on the ball and an accurate passer, he was always in the thick of the action.
Few players can boast a World Cup medal (1966), European Cup (1968) and Football League titles (1965 and 1967).
