ITV News - Jack Charlton obituary: A look back at a remarkable career and life (13/7/20)
Спорт
To say that Jack Charlton was a giant of the game was an understatement.
As a player the pinnacle was winning the World Cup for England, alongside his brother Bobby.
As a manager, it was taking a previously unheralded country, the Republic of Ireland, to two World Cup finals. But there was so much more to Big Jack's life.
John Shires has been looking back through the archives, and speaking to the broadcaster John Helm about a true legend of the game.

World cup winner, Irish legend.
Jack's passing really affected me, and I didnt expect that. I'm Irish, and I admired jack charlton from young. God rest his soul. A wonderful man, and a legendary servant to football, to England and to Ireland.
When God measures a man he puts the tape around the heart & not the head. RIP big Jack, loved & remembered for ever. ❤️
An incredible giant of football. RIP.
Ireland will always love Big Jack ☘️

I met him a few times when he was the manager at Sheffield Wednesday he was a true gentleman. Rest in Peace Big man
On the day of 'Sir' Jack's funeral someone said ' today we are laying to rest a fine man' - says it all.
I'm 57 and Jack Charlton was my school boy hero. I remember every member of his team from when I was less than 10 year old. I remember him taking Middlesbrough to the top of the old div 1 when in them days it seemed like an impossibility. Inspirational legend
Raised in the next door village Newbiggin used to see Jack pushing his ma along the prom or fishing always happy to stand and chat
A great man.
God bless, Jackie. Great player, great manager and proud Northumbrian. Sleep tight big man.
The greatest
A top man!
Twice the man of His Brother Bobby

What has his brother got to do with this??? His brother is respected and loved equally just like Jack. Bobby is a very humble person. Watch some of his interviews and you will know the true Bobby instead of looking at what the media tell you.
funny how the British coverage of Jack's career never mentions '88...

Because he was part of Sir Alf immortals, what he did with Ireland was a great for you, but for us he’ll always be immortal for 66.

Jack mentioned him in his autobiography, "he knows the score".
