UNDER the watchful eye of the world, the intensely strong bond between the two young brothers was there for all to see.
Then, as their lives progressed and each of them married, that sibling closeness became badly fractured when one criticised the other’s wife.

Their once seemingly unbreakable relationship never really recovered.
No, not Princes William and Harry. I’m talking about Jack and Bobby Charlton, the 1966 World Cup heroes photographed hugging each other on the Wembley turf.
Years later they stopped speaking when Jack described Bobby’s wife Norma as “hoity toity” and, although they reunited briefly at their mother Cissie’s funeral in 1996, they remained largely estranged.
