Very sad. A great character - even liked him when he was managing the Borer.

A travesty that he was never given a knighthood. RIP Big Man

Jack Charlton a great player but he had that Leeds United cynical tag attached to him. Always remember a 1967 cup game V Sunderland (5th round) when he stood on Jim Montgomery's foot at a corner to stop him going for the ball. But apart from that, yes a great player. RIP Jack Charlton. Slowly that great 1966 England team is disappearing. Like us older Poolies but that's how it works.

those type of things were regular happenings on corners. at least you never got full scale wrestling bouts as you get now. jack was at leeds years before the revie era and always classed him as one of the less cynical in the side.

That’s what happened then, that’s how it was was. Today they’re less blatant and probably sanitise it by describing it as a professional foul.
I was playing in a match where the opposition goalie cried out to stop the game as his glass eye had fallen out at a corner . Whaaaaaaaaaat!!!!! When we stopped laughing, our skipper said “If you spot it, press it into the mud”...... to which someone replied “Why, it won’t make any difference to his performance will it” :laugh:

Jack Charlton gave me a lift home one night, a long time ago!

I was 17, drunk and hitch hiking through Bedale to get to where home was at the time. It must have been about 11 at night when a brown coloured Cortina mk4 pulled up and I jumped in. Even though I was worse for wear I twigged who it was and said to him "are you Jack Charlton?" to which he replied "Yeah"

The rest of the journey was made in near silence however he took me right home and made sure I got inside in one piece. :grin:
