Fancy it getting to such a state that good ole establishment britain were poised to jail such a gentle , kind , HONEST , polite , courteous , GENTLEman like Mr.Charles. Well played Silver of Mighty Leeds. My dad hated soccer. Rugby I had to play. We even moved from Mumbles to Llanelli. A HUGE rugby town. But even my dad would say " Great player. He's no soccer player. Should be playing rugby with a frame like and skill like that" I reckon he was right too. Mr.Charles would of made a world class inside centre.
When I look at today's so called star footballer's, I think of John Charles, and smile. None of them hold a candle to the great man. He was without doubt the best player to ever grace a football field.
@@shaka7594 Well, people in the know would disagree with you, but it's all a matter of opinion. Charles would be the first name on my team sheet, and the four you mention would also get a game.
I saw the great man playing for Leeds against Portsmouth at Fratton Park in 1957 when I was a lad and I have never seen a player so dominant in a game since. He was playing centre forward and he just tore the Pompey defence apart in their 2 - 5 victory. Wonderful.
I was too young to remember the great man initially, but was present at his return to Leeds. Though things didn't seem to work out, for me, a 15 year old, I still rated Big John as a fantastic player. Evan today, I still miss him

5:38 against Hungary was a group 3 playoff to go to the Quarter Finals because they were level on points. 6:07 It was the Quarter Finals that Wales lost against Brazil, not the semis as the narrator stated.
Thank you for downloading. When it's said that he was the best ever, I wouldn't argue.
Quite comfortably the most underrated player of all time. Never been another like him.

If the Italians respect you as a footballer, that means you're class.
Torino still remember and love you! Gentle Giant
Wonderful, moving documentary.

Haa Haa Haaaa , love that exchange lads. I'd chuck Cloughy in there too. Why ? Look at the fellas goal striking rate before his leg break. Top class.
He was much loved by many, what a great human being , sad I was too young not to see him in full flight!

È stato un grandissimo
Legend ! !
At the beginning of this video it shows John in his house. Which is now my house
Wow , how fantastic for a Leeds fan. Love that.
@SwanseaCityNo12 Charles was also voted as the all-time greatest foreign player in Serie A history back in '97 IIRC.
A Star.
This is my living room 👍
What a lovely bloke. What a Welshman ! Hwyl Fawr Mr.Charles. And whoevers playing upfront for Real Pearly Gates has just lost his spot.
Never booked. Either that skilled or that relaxed.
HE DID WELL AT hEREFORD.

Well said. Get it right innit.
El Gigantio!
Arsenal's 'big sleep' would have been over if they'd have signed him. They already had Kelsey. None greater from the UK IMO.
Leeds had a fire and one of the stands burnt down, that's why john was sold at that time .
This is my house.
The best Welsh footballer of all time. Not Bale. Not Giggs. JOHN CHARLES!
very sloppy research.wales didnt reach the semi final of the 1958 world cup it was the quarter final
Inside my house
65,000 is nothing now HAHA
