Rejected petition Rename Manchester Airport, the Sir Bobby Charlton Airport (Manchester)
Rejected on
All around the world Sir Bobby Charlton was synonymous with Manchester.
So rename Manchester’s airport after the great man.
All around the world Sir Bobby Charlton was synonymous with Manchester. His football career is unequaled in England - winning league championships, FA cup, European cup and the World Cup.
A Munich air disaster survivor, who never forgot the teammates & others who lost their lives in 1958.
A footballing legend, with a humble nature, a combination that made him a hero all around the world.
It is time for Manchester to celebrate with the world what Sir Bobby brought to the city.
