Default R.I.P. Jack Charlton

Tremendously sad news to hear of Jack's passing this morning.
He was one of the games greats, and a gentleman.

Not only a great player and part of England's greatest triumph, he was a great manager, a real people person.

He completely turned round my clubs fortunes, ( Middlesbrough ), in the early seventies, and produced a team that very nearly won the domestic games top honour, the First Division as it was at the time.

He was a great success in managing national sides too, his Eire team achieved so much.

Thanks Jackie, for all you did. I'm sure " wor kid Bobby", would accept all of world, and domestic footballs, and all who met Jack's sincere and heartfelt condolences.

God bless you Jackie. R.I.P.

Fond memories of Ayresome Park and Jackie's team - Maddren and Souness and a host of others. While he was the Boro's manager, he lived in Great Ayton, just round the corner from my in-laws, where he slipped seamlessly into village life - a wander down the road to the Royal Oak, a few jars and a lot of fishing chat - no airs and graces, just one of the villagers.
RIP Big man - thanks for the memories.

Never did see him play, but rip to one of the greats.

He once bought a pigeon from my uncle too 👍

Default Jack Charlton RIP

The legendary Newcastle and Leeds united former player has died aged 85,after a battle with dementia.
Jack and his wife Pat have been my customers for a lot of years,I never really had much to do with him as I'm not into football or fishing, he did a lot of things for his home town of Ashington and other good causes around the north east.ironically I was just at the house on Thursday chatting to Pat and I noticed Jack was not in his usual seat on the sofa in the living room but thought nothing more of it. I had noticed that he was not the man he used to be over recent months, a few times they were either going out or coming in when I was there and I always said "hello Jack",and the last couple of times Pat has had to say,"Richard was saying hello to you Jack" to get him to respond.He was a big bloke as in tall, with a big personality too.
Another great British legend gone.

His son went to the same school as me ( just a few years ago ) when he was manager of Middlesbrough , he often used to pick him up from school in a big white Ford Zodiac/Zephyr estate , it was chaos as the car was surrounded by gawping kids !

John or Peter? I metPeter a few times but not John, Peter lived with his folks when I first started as their window cleaner.
