RIP Jack.
Your passing is a great loss to the English and to football in general. A superb (and loyal) player, a great manager and a real gentleman.
You are a total legend, thank you for making our lives better.

Indeed a grim reminder of the fact that the icons of our younger days are all mortal irrespective of the fact we thought them immortal. Jack Charlton,a true gentleman and sportsman unlike the shower of self enriching creatures we see nowadays

He applied for the England managers job, the snobs didn't reply. You can bet England would have had a team that didn't take prisoners under him.

TTFT did you know he'd been in the Blues and Royals. Don't know the story, just saw a headline.

TTFT did you know he'd been in the Blues and Royals. Don't know the story, just saw a headline. I didn't know that, though he was tall enough. You have piqued my interest, I'm going to have to do a bit of Wiki research. Thank you.
