Man Utd legend Charlton rushed to hospital after health scare

Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton has been admitted to hospital after suffering a health scare on the golf course.

Sir Bobby, 76, was playing alongside celebrity legends like ex-Dutch soccer star Ruud Gullit at the event at St Andrews in Scotland when he suddenly felt ill.

He complained of stomach pains and worried aides called an ambulance so he could be given emergency treatment.

Charlton, the former Manchester United and England star, initially refused to get into an ambulance but was eventually persuaded to be taken to Ninewells hospital, Dundee.

The Mirror says a source at the hospital said that Charlton, who lifted the World Cup for England in 1966, was treated for stomach pains in the accident and emergency department but was then discharged and allowed home.
