Stifler Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Very sad to hear. I heard through a friend about it last night. I was too young to see him play or even manage, but the guy is a legend and has so much pride from our region. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 RIP Jack. One of my first memories of football is him managing Ireland at USA 94 I remember Ray Houghton scoring in about the tenth minute to help Ireland beat (eventual finalists) Italy 1-0 being a massive achievement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I absolutely love the clips they play of an interview with him on Second Captains, about him taking the players for fish and chips, I'll try and find it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I don't really know too much about the Charltons but read this: A family statement read: "Jack died peacefully on Friday, July 10 at the age of 85. He was at home in Northumberland, with his family by his side. "As well as a friend to many, he was a much-adored husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. I presume 'brother' not being mentioned is quite significant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack, and his cousin Milburn both stayed true to their roots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapo Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 His reign as Ireland manager was one of the most significant periods in our recent history. Some of my earliest memories are of Italia 90. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 An absolute legend. He was for Ireland what Keegan was for Newcastle. Raised our expectations of what was possible. The stories around Italia 90 and USA 94 are brilliant. You won’t hear one player with a bad word to say about him. RIP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
