Rest in peace The King Charlie Hurley ❤

Met Charlie when he was working for Anson packaging, a gentle giant and a gentleman, his stories were absolute enthralling, I remember him giving me a photograph of Denis Law and him shaking hands before an FA cup tie, he knew I was a big united fan, an absolute pleasure to meet and get to know him

RIP King Charlie Hurley , it is very Rare that a Man Mountain is Called A KING it shows how much our King is thought of . . RIP

A living legend

Brings tears to my eyes with pride and love for Charlie Hurley. Haway the Lads

I could listen to this man talk stories about football for hours on end. #theking

Charlie would have made a superb centre-forward. In fact Len Shackleton wrote that Hurley was "The biggest waste of Centre-Forward potential he had ever seen". The great pity is that there is hardly any footage of Hurley playing. I did hear that a TV company wiped all the football tapes of the Sunderland matches to use them for something else. That now looks like pouring extraordinary football history down the drain. Thanks for the memories Charlie! The greatest player I have ever seen. Charismatic and larger than life!

what a lovely man

I remember watching Charlie at Roker Park in the 60's as a young lad. He was the bedrock of the team.

RIP to the King

Got told by my dad, greatest player to ever play football

Love live The King

My dad always said he was THE greatest player we had in the 20th century

Rest in peace you life changing legend

Great watch, rip Charlie ❤️🤍

King Charlie, top bloke. My first football hero.

Football is such a great game. I can't explain the love you have - or anyone has for their football team. its just in you...Whatever team you support.

I remember every time we got a corner everyone would shout CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE. Great times. Loved the man, he was brilliant.

His handling of Robin Friday at Reading was superb. Friday loved him too

My 3rd cousin my mums side of family only met him once 1976

I love Sunderland afc for all my life

God Bless Charlie Hurley.

What was he like? If you could compare to a modern day prem player?

@@samrichardson9487 I suppose I would describe him as an old fashioned centre half, dominating and controlling the the defence winning a lot in the air. The closest player I can think of in modern times would be Adams when he played for Arsenal.

He's my grandad's 1st cousin

When we were growing up watching the lads, Charlie was our hero, and still is.

I recall when as a young lad growing up in Dublin in the late 50s early 60s I used to always go to Rep Of Ireland internationals ay Dalymount Park and Charlie was my hero then. Most of our players then were from around the Dublin area with the odd Corkman thrown in. At one game I attended Charlie came to the touchline to collect a ball for a throw in saying to the ball boy "Gis it 'ere" , well I was cetainly confused as I had read he was a Corkman and never heard a Corkman with an accent like that!. It was years later I discovered he was born in Cork but grew up in London's East End .......A Cockney Corkonion !

Aye Charlie the loves grown and grown ,I can't see any other player make a mark like you did ,not just me as youngster but as an oap now ! They/we still sing your name yet 🤗you made a million sunland fans so proud they called you king Charlie ! Nowts changed niva will either the connection was set in concrete just like the defending of our goal ! It's fantastic just 2 see you and hear your craic and god bless king Charlie Hurley the mountain of a man who enhanced the rocker roar that made lads like me and older feel like we were indestructible as a football team 💪✊️✌️thanx a million .

Superb

King Charlie SAFC 60S LEGEND.

I was at the match at Roker Park against Swansea, when John Charles came back from Italy. Everyone wanted to see him, if my memory serves me correctly, we put two men on him throughout the match Hurley & McNab. The only problem was no one picked up Ivor Allchurch who went on to score a hat trick.

RIP Charlie

We love u Sunderland
