Great documentary. As a young 20 year old Dutchy I arrived in Dublin 2 days after the 1-0 win against England at Euro 88. Spending the next week at a B&B in Talbot Street and a great pub near the Abbott Theatre to watch the matches on the TV, it was like a magic time for me. Every morning waking up to the music played loudly by the record store opposite of the B&B, Christy Moore, the Dubliners, an occasional Pogues tune. Loaded up with plenty of Guinness handed to me during and after the 3-1 Dutch victory against England, later that night jointly celebrating the Whelan goal against the Russians. A few days later I was of course the only one in the pub celebrating the Dutch goal, but I was already respected by most of the crowd inside. The Homecoming celebration in the open bus through O'Connell Street was an overwhelming experience and made me realize I had to return to Amsterdam to see the semis, the final with the Van Basten goal and another Homecoming through the Amsterdam Canals. Two years later at Italy 90 I was in Palermo and again there was Ireland. Guess every Irishman who was there can testfy that the joy and respect between the boys in Green and the boys in Orange was amazing, much to the surprise of thousands of Sicilian policeman who had their easiest day ever. The party on the camping site and the beach lasted till the morning. Both Irish and Dutch left Sicily by train the next day by the hundreds. Off to Genua and Milan. Jack Charlton's last match was also against the Dutch. Coïncidence? Dont think so. The warm memories I have with the Irish will last forever. I visited the country another few times but it all started with the Boys in Green under Jack Charlton. Believe me when I say that he was highly respected by all Dutch football fans. RIP Big Man, you were and will always be a true legend. Love and respect from Amsterdam 💚🧡
Fantastic adventure you and us had then.. Your story brings back super memories as i was a 20 year old that very year also.. Thanks pal.. P, S. Love the Dutch peoole....
He paved the way for the Good Friday Agreement as Eire manager by his Englishness & love of it's people & it's land whilst Great Britain all routed for their matches & fans & after that it's harder to kill us & easier to be friends & neighbors. GO ON JACK, GO ON & ON JACK, GO ON GO ON & ON & ON JACK JUST HAVE A LITTLE LITTLE CUP OF TEA.......... OHHH THANKS JACK, FATHERS WOULD YOU LIKE..
Not Irish but i have to say that this Irish team is fucking LEGENDARY.. Seriously.. So powerful and energetic..I used to hate it when England played them because we could never beat them..The house that Jack built..R.I.P Big Jack..Football and Man management genius..YNWA
Without Jack & all that he & the Irish team did brought Britain & Eire together & paved the way for the Peace Accord & it's still going. I rang a call centre in NI & this lass & I told her I served over there during the Troubles & she said "I don't know anything about it really" & I thought, great they are just being like the rest of us. Success.
The local on match day.... Truckers, Brickies, Sales Reps, Postmen, Farmers, Guards drinkin tea, Teachers, Lads on the dole, Pensioners, Young and Old. All together, Brought together, It was like something out of the Proclamation. Cheering on the Boys in Green. Led by The English Lion who became an Irish Son. RIP Big Jack.
@@wesoshea7183 Well said. Well said indeed. Jackie the Geordie lad was sooooo proud to be an adopted Irishmen. He was testament to something beautiful. The working class people of of the places like the one that Jackie came from, are no different to the salt of the Earth hard fair grafting people of Ireland and he showed both that there wasn’t much between them. I really did shed a tear when I heard the news of his passing.
Yesterday (10/07/2020) Jack Charlton passed away, as a staunch Leeds United fan I had the good fortune to see him play at Elland Road all those years ago, watching this reminded me so much of the style of management Don Revie had, not saying he was a copy of Don, he had his own style but the influences of Don Revie were there in that Irish squad, especially the never say die attitude. As an English fan I'm so pleased I watched this, some great players through the years and some very under estimated players that never got the recognition they deserved.
Why didn't Leeds employ him as manager, he was the right guy, they tried Billy, Alan & Eddie Gray (?) & it didn't work, we know with Jack it would. The Directors must have been scared of him & England. Still thank god for the Irish!
Jack Charlton pretty much shaped my life me being born in Bristol England to an Irish dad and German mum instilled in me such pride as an 18 year old of my Irish heritage watching how much it ment to the player's and fans to wear the green jersey I’m in my 50’s now and have travelled the world watching and supporting the Rep of Ireland and Celtic every country we have visited we have left behind nothing but good feelings toward the Irish peoples I remember in the euros in Poland 2012 Roy Keane saying “I don’t know why the fans are singing the team have lost every game and been awful” what you forget mr Keane is It’s not just the players representing there country Thank you big Jack and rip
Jackie Charlton, as he was known, is a legend and a patron saint of Ireland. May he draw a Salmon on every cast as we thank him for what he has gifted us. Thanks big Jack for those GREAT years!!
Should be a Statue of Jack on O'Connell Street, or somewhere where All pass by.. Not out at the Docks or behind Wiclow Street with Molly Malone.. He actually made the WHOLE COUNTRY become the exact same person.. And a whole country celebrated together.. "Olé, Olé Olé Olé".. Maybe even outside the Airport.. Saying what he once said, "I'm proud to be Part of Ireland.." That man caused +½-Million people line the streets... Not many will ever do that again, especially the way it is now... ITALIA '90 were the best days of many lives. Myself Included, and I was only 8.. And George Hamilton After Packie, in the 'rare Grey Top' saves a peno, "The Big Man from Donegal has set it up for the Victory.".(Then the most famous we ALL REMEMBER) "The Nation Holds its breath, YES WE'RE THERE!!" And anyone who can't remember that, well then 'You tube it'..!! Still makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck..!! 😊🇮🇪🤝🏼🍾🥲
I am Australian and for some reason we seem to have a natural affinity with Irish people. Every second barman in Melbourne seems to be Irish! Such stout characters, we have quite a few Irish playing Australian rules football and they are fearless. Ireland has always produced some great footballers and this generation under Charlton were an excellent lot but it took a man with a plan to pull them together, he just knew about football, and I think his confident bearing was contagious. They believed and they were as they believed. A little more luck and...and I have been around Europe during international matches and the BEST fans ever. No dramas, no riots, just good humour.
@Johnsutton3600.JOHN THE MAJORITY OF THE IRISH POPULATION OVERSEAS OR BACK HOME ARE COURTEOUS NATURALLY AND WHAT U SEE IS WHAT U GET WITH NO FAKE BEHAVIOUR. JOHN LAD I AM SMILING HERE IN DUBLIN KNOWING WE DON'T EMBARRASS OR SHOW OURSELVES UP😂.TANX 4HONESTY 31:55
I was at a certain supermarket in Ashington once. I saw him from afar and then closer. Didn't dare to go straight up to him and say how much I appreciated him managing Ireland and such. I saw, however, that he was already doing a selfie for an youngster and his mom. My moment was gone but I'm sure that he's smiling still from above. Thanks a lot, Jack Charlton, you were a prince!
The Irish nation owes that man more than they know. The Celtic tiger,our tourism industry,sports shops,pubs,big screen TVs, a new national pride,the list goes on.Thanks Big Man and tight lines.
Great man, great team, great people, great country. As an Englishman I always enjoyed the Irish success under big jack. The joy of the fans and way the team always played their way and the opposition forced to deal with it was great. Can see who the Irish ☘️ took to big jack!
Sad watching Big Jack but what great memories he has left.I met Jack when he was manager of Ireland on many occasions.I have his autograph which is even more special now he has passed. Rest in Peace Big Jack and thanks for the memories.Thinking of all his family and all the Irish players of the time at this sad time.
Great documentary, being a Scot we are all wishing for a Jack type person to give us some success and fabulous memories on the football field. It was great to see the people of Ireland all around the world having such a wonderful time during this special time.
On paper, from roughly 88 - 93 this team were absolute beasts - and stood toe to toe with any team that was put up againts them in the world. It not widely remembered but Rep of Ireland were ranked 6th in the world upon going into USA94 and on merit. Jack brought the ''Press'' to prominence and teams couldn`t handle how ireland played during this period - they were practically unbeatable. Great achievement RIP Jack Charlton
Englishman here but I love that story where he went to ask 1 player, John Aldridge if he'd like to play for Ireland and got him and Ray Houghton as well. He's told it in a couple of interviews but very entertaining story I love hearing. RIP Jack
Great documentary. Being born and raised in England but with an Irish mother, there were two things in my mid to late teens that awakened my Irish heritage. One was The Pogues and the other was Jack Charlton's Ireland team. I'll be honest and say that I supported England throughout my childhood but with Jack's team having a very Anglo-Irish identity, it made it very easy to feel like they were the team that best represented me. I was very thankful to have an excuse to support a team to be proud of instead of the arrogant England team and their appalling fans.
I really enjoyed this. A fellow Englishman loved by Ireland. A giant. A legend. Much needed at a time when our two countries need to come together. Fantastic memories. RIP Jack.
My first football memory was the Houghton 88 header, so in many ways Jack has been the architect of my sporting childhood. This is an amazing little documentary. Well done.
Had a girlfriend from Dublin at the time whom I adored so kept going over to Ireland and got a bit caught up in the Jack Charlton/Irish football thing. Good fun times in the pubs and bars with good natured ribbing all the time. Really miss it all.
VERY fitting tribute to Jack and his players and the fans...never any airs and graces Or snobbery with Jack, what you saw was what you got. In a word "honesty". I think that'5 the main reason we embraced him and let him into our hearts. #OneJackieCharltonTheresOnlyONEJackieCharlton ......
RIP Big Jack thanks for bringing the Irish worldwide so much joy confidence and belief - our greatest ever manager and a great Leeds United and England Centre half
RIP Jack Charlton. Did brilliant things with the Republic. Had a good club management career and was an excellent player. Would of been an excellent England manager but England's loss was the Republic of Ireland's gain and good on them, did great things. RIP. Everton fan.
Sacked in 1996 by the FAI after ten great years. 88 Euros and World Cups in 1990 and 1994. A run that wont be repeated. The people will always love him.
big jack , what a legend. I remember watching the irish at italia 90 and usa 94, became my second team after scotland. they were brilliant, can you imagine if they'd reached the semi finals with a chance of playing the germans. it was an amazing time, life in general was better, everything was better. football is just garbage now. digital has ruined everything. music is shite, tv is shite, films are shite, computer games are shite. everything is shite. if i had a time machine, i be back in the 1980s and 1990s all the time, whenever it got to 2000, i'd just get back in the de lorean and go back to dec 31st 1979 and start all over again.
Cheer up Russell. I kinda agree but you've been able to access, watch and enjoy an old documentary not broadcast in the UK, because of the digital revolution and internet access :-)
I disagree with everything you said Russell ............. no I don't , just kidding . You're 100 per cent correct mate. WHAT THE $%^& HAS HAPPENED TO MUSIC ????? Listen to the song by Porcupine Tree (with lyrics) called : The Sound of Muzak . This just about sums it up. All the best to you and yours.
Yes sir,well said..I Attempted to get an flight over to Italy&and just gave up and took the Ferry with my Bruv over to Ireland instead..And by Christ we gave it out best in Drinking Dublin Dry&then visited my Parents Family down in Kerry..Plenty of Alcohol induced Amnesia&missed some of the Games but had one Helluva time..And now I live in the States,continuing a Family Tradition..
"music is shite, tv is shite, films are shite, computer games are shite. everything is shite" .....funny, but unfortunately 100% true - everything now is completely shite and getting worse by the minute...if you get the de lorean working giz a shout and I'll go with...
I have no idea who or for that matter how old you are but by god no truer words have ever been spoken, life on this little island of ours is just pure shite, in fact I will even state that our country is being run by heartless criminals for the benefit of criminals and not their victims, best of luck to you and yours.
Watching the documentaries about Jack after the dementia one. Made you proud to be a football fan with a great guy and great story with Ireland and her people.
@@lenhught3208 Proper legend, never mind playing for Big Jack, your dad is one of the greats, both as a player and a manager. He played alongside one of the lads I knew back in the day, Danny Thomas. I was an apprentice at Coventry City in 1980, Danny had just turned pro. We were both from a small Town called Worksop. Danny moved to Spurs in 1983/1984.
Some good players in his team. Houghton, Whelan and Aldridge were winning leagues with Liverpool. McGrath and O'Leary were good defenders and there were some good commited players elsewhere such as Townsend, Quinn, McCarthy and Cascarino. Got a great team spirit and a method of play that worked.
Football has evolved. Just not in Ireland. But what i do remember from those days were the Irish fans. While English were drinking and fighting the Irish were drinking and loving. We loved the Irish fans.
JACK CHARLTON, THE NEW CASTLE GEORDIE WHO WARMED MANY AN IRISH HEART AND A VERY SPECIAL MAN INDEED WHO WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED WITH KINDNESS AND WARMTH FOR MANY A LONG YEAR TO COME.. AN ENGLISHMAN WHO MADE A NATIVE IRISH MAN PROUD TO BE IRISH, FIGURES HEY.
@@nealmceneaney3771 NO, I AM 56 YEARS OLD WITH EXTREMELY POOR EYESIGHT AND I NEITHER SMOKE NOR DRINK ALCOHOL SO I AM SORRY TO BURST YOUR IGNORANT BUBBLE.
Our greatest sporting moments and achievements under this messiah big jack. What memories he brought 88 an summer of 90 then USA 94 with that Italian win,unreal especially when we were ranked at one stage at 7 in fifa rankings and unbeaten at home for 5 years!!!
the only team to have defeated italy at the 1994 wc. had they had more luck against the dutch, they could have gone all the way. the team's enthusiasm was still there from the previous world cup, they seemed to have found their stride, that opening game was unbelievable
Really enjoyed watching that. Didn't you guys have such a great era under Jack C. I remember so well that match against Italy. McGrath was superb and you didn't deserve to lose. I reckon you'd have beaten the Argentina in the semi final.
Mcgrath v italy in 94 when we beat them and he cleaned Baggio was probably his best game, not bad for a man who had serious issues with alcoholism. I love the moment in the finding jack charlton movie when jack now suffering with dementia sees paul on video and instantly remembers him. He was like a father figure to Paul.
Watch this brings tears to my eyes always had a lot of time 4 big jack.this is a very fitting vid now jack has left us. Won so much in his time as a player most players nowdays would love to have haft the medals jack won over his football career .RIP BIG JACK
Lovely gentle documentary... wonderful memories...and everyone in Ireland (be they Irish or not ) remembers where they were when Packie Bonnar ( of Celtic & Ireland ) saved Timofte:s penalty way back in that glorious summer of Italia 90::::
Aye as a 15yr oldCeltic fan in England was always great to see the Celtic tops was great times great documentary jack fished on Tyne by mine top bloke 👍🏻
We never thought we would get to a Euro never mind world cups thanks for a man called the jack Charlton god bless you a lot of great memories and of course beatin England in 1988 so thank you very much appreciated it Jack 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪💛💛
Seriously speaking that was incredible viewing. Such great insight from the greatest people on earth, the Irish. And of course big Jack, the most Irish of English men! Thanks for putting this on here. Sláinte!
Legend. I went to the Ireland vs Italy Friendly in Foxboro, MA prior to the 1994 World Cup as a guest of Louis Kilcoyne. I drank beers with Jack and the boys in the Bar at the Stadium after the game. Stood next to big Jack drinking beers. I will never forget it. PS: He treated me like a family member. A Big Man, a Kind Man.
Without Jack & the Irish team years, the Peace Accord wouldn't have happened I feel. It took the focus away & it connected the Irish Republic to Britain as just people living & loving rather than killing & hate.
Great documentary.
As a young 20 year old Dutchy I arrived in Dublin 2 days after the 1-0 win against England at Euro 88. Spending the next week at a B&B in Talbot Street and a great pub near the Abbott Theatre to watch the matches on the TV, it was like a magic time for me. Every morning waking up to the music played loudly by the record store opposite of the B&B, Christy Moore, the Dubliners, an occasional Pogues tune. Loaded up with plenty of Guinness handed to me during and after the 3-1 Dutch victory against England, later that night jointly celebrating the Whelan goal against the Russians. A few days later I was of course the only one in the pub celebrating the Dutch goal, but I was already respected by most of the crowd inside. The Homecoming celebration in the open bus through O'Connell Street was an overwhelming experience and made me realize I had to return to Amsterdam to see the semis, the final with the Van Basten goal and another Homecoming through the Amsterdam Canals.
Two years later at Italy 90 I was in Palermo and again there was Ireland. Guess every Irishman who was there can testfy that the joy and respect between the boys in Green and the boys in Orange was amazing, much to the surprise of thousands of Sicilian policeman who had their easiest day ever. The party on the camping site and the beach lasted till the morning. Both Irish and Dutch left Sicily by train the next day by the hundreds. Off to Genua and Milan.
Jack Charlton's last match was also against the Dutch. Coïncidence? Dont think so.
The warm memories I have with the Irish will last forever. I visited the country another few times but it all started with the Boys in Green under Jack Charlton.
Believe me when I say that he was highly respected by all Dutch football fans.
RIP Big Man, you were and will always be a true legend. Love and respect from Amsterdam 💚🧡
A fantastic tribute. Dutch and Irish , always great pals.
🙏 amen

He paved the way for the Good Friday Agreement as Eire manager by his Englishness & love of it's people & it's land whilst Great Britain all routed for their matches & fans & after that it's harder to kill us & easier to be friends & neighbors.

A man that unites Ireland and England. Rip Jackie. We will all mourn as two neighbouring countries
A hugely classy comment
Without Jack & all that he & the Irish team did brought Britain & Eire together & paved the way for the Peace Accord & it's still going. I rang a call centre in NI & this lass & I told her I served over there during the Troubles & she said "I don't know anything about it really" & I thought, great they are just being like the rest of us.

He made the Good Friday Agreement possible as the UK watched his escapades with Ireland. It mellowed everyone as sport transcends politics. Great man.
Rest in Peace. A true legend on both sides of the Irish Sea.

Incredible legacy when you think about it
Best part off my childhood ever, RIP Jack xo
Jack made everyone an Ireland fan. Great footballing man. Much missed. RIP big fella.
An English KING and an Irish KING. Never EVER to be Forgotten
He gave us the best football days of our lives ..The inspiration for Pep and Klopp ...
I really enjoyed this. A fellow Englishman loved by Ireland. A giant. A legend. Much needed at a time when our two countries need to come together. Fantastic memories. RIP Jack.
Jack should have done more TV when his playing/management career ended. He's a natural.
My first football memory was the Houghton 88 header, so in many ways Jack has been the architect of my sporting childhood. This is an amazing little documentary. Well done.

I remember watching the irish at italia 90 and usa 94, became my second team after scotland. they were brilliant, can you imagine if they'd reached the semi finals with a chance of playing the germans. it was an amazing time, life in general was better, everything was better. football is just garbage now. digital has ruined everything. music is shite, tv is shite, films are shite, computer games are shite. everything is shite. if i had a time machine, i be back in the 1980s and 1990s all the time, whenever it got to 2000, i'd just get back in the de lorean and go back to dec 31st 1979 and start all over again.
Cheer up Russell. I kinda agree but you've been able to access, watch and enjoy an old documentary not broadcast in the UK, because of the digital revolution and internet access :-)
I disagree with everything you said Russell ............. no I don't , just kidding . You're 100 per cent correct mate. WHAT THE $%^& HAS HAPPENED TO MUSIC ?????
Listen to the song by Porcupine Tree (with lyrics) called : The Sound of Muzak . This just about sums it up.
All the best to you and yours.
Yes sir,well said..I Attempted to get an flight over to Italy&and just gave up and took the Ferry with my Bruv over to Ireland instead..And by Christ we gave it out best in Drinking Dublin Dry&then visited my Parents Family down in Kerry..Plenty of Alcohol induced Amnesia&missed some of the Games but had one Helluva time..And now I live in the States,continuing a Family Tradition..
"music is shite, tv is shite, films are shite, computer games are shite. everything is shite" .....funny, but unfortunately 100% true - everything now is completely shite and getting worse by the minute...if you get the de lorean working giz a shout and I'll go with...
I have no idea who or for that matter how old you are but by god no truer words have ever been spoken, life on this little island of ours is just pure shite, in fact I will even state that our country is being run by heartless criminals for the benefit of criminals and not their victims, best of luck to you and yours.
Watching the documentaries about Jack after the dementia one. Made you proud to be a football fan with a great guy and great story with Ireland and her people.
My dad was lucky enough to play under Jack. What a great manager and man. Great documentary.
Who was your dad?
Chris Hughton
Is
@@lenhught3208 Proper legend, never mind playing for Big Jack, your dad is one of the greats, both as a player and a manager. He played alongside one of the lads I knew back in the day, Danny Thomas. I was an apprentice at Coventry City in 1980, Danny had just turned pro. We were both from a small Town called Worksop. Danny moved to Spurs in 1983/1984.
@Kevin Houghton Thank you for your kind words. Danny was a family friend and was a great player and person too.
Some good players in his team. Houghton, Whelan and Aldridge were winning leagues with Liverpool. McGrath and O'Leary were good defenders and there were some good commited players elsewhere such as Townsend, Quinn, McCarthy and Cascarino.
Got a great team spirit and a method of play that worked.
Football has evolved. Just not in Ireland. But what i do remember from those days were the Irish fans. While English were drinking and fighting the Irish were drinking and loving. We loved the Irish fans.
Great memories,,, thanks big Jack.. Best times of my young life for me and all young lads at that time...
I am truly upset at the passing of this great man....Big Jack RIP
Just beautiful people in this video, well done everyone involved.. RIP Jack
JACK CHARLTON, THE NEW CASTLE GEORDIE WHO WARMED MANY AN IRISH HEART AND A VERY SPECIAL MAN INDEED WHO WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED WITH KINDNESS AND WARMTH FOR MANY A LONG YEAR TO COME.. AN ENGLISHMAN WHO MADE A NATIVE IRISH MAN PROUD TO BE IRISH, FIGURES HEY.

How did you not notice the CAPS? Drunk?

Ok
Christopher O'Brien
I’m sorry. 🇮🇪
@@nealmceneaney3771 IT TAKES A REAL MAN TO RECOGNISE HIS MISTAKE AND IN THIS CASE THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE AND THANK YOU FOR THE APOLOGY.
Rest in peace big jack and thank you for the memories ❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Our greatest sporting moments and achievements under this messiah big jack. What memories he brought 88 an summer of 90 then USA 94 with that Italian win,unreal especially when we were ranked at one stage at 7 in fifa rankings and unbeaten at home for 5 years!!!
What fucking achievements?
the only team to have defeated italy at the 1994 wc. had they had more luck against the dutch, they could have gone all the way. the team's enthusiasm was still there from the previous world cup, they seemed to have found their stride, that opening game was unbelievable
Really enjoyed watching that. Didn't you guys have such a great era under Jack C. I remember so well that match against Italy. McGrath was superb and you didn't deserve to lose. I reckon you'd have beaten the Argentina in the semi final.
Mcgrath v italy in 94 when we beat them and he cleaned Baggio was probably his best game, not bad for a man who had serious issues with alcoholism. I love the moment in the finding jack charlton movie when jack now suffering with dementia sees paul on video and instantly remembers him. He was like a father figure to Paul.
Thank you Jack. We love you
Goodbye jack you were best thing about ireland in the 80 s and 90 s
What about U2??
Watch this brings tears to my eyes always had a lot of time 4 big jack.this is a very fitting vid now jack has left us.
Won so much in his time as a player most players nowdays would love to have haft the medals jack won over his football career .RIP BIG JACK

That 1990 world cup.......Oh my..the memories,
I cannot wait for the movie! RIP Jack
WOR Jack is from my home town.
Reminds me of the QI episode - Stephen Fry Defeated by a Newcastle accent - " Wor Drums" czcams.com/video/mqRkkVQ6OSE/video.html
Legend. I went to the Ireland vs Italy Friendly in Foxboro, MA prior to the 1994 World Cup as a guest of Louis Kilcoyne. I drank beers with Jack and the boys in the Bar at the Stadium after the game. Stood next to big Jack drinking beers. I will never forget it. PS: He treated me like a family member. A Big Man, a Kind Man.
RIP Big man................Thanks for all the great memories...............what a great time
Great doco loved the bit about the peanuts!
The Greatest Englishman Who Ever Lived.
lol
F U B A R methink .. Scottish I think 🤔
God Bless Jack, people can only say you were long ball yet forget that success made them praise with that
A Great Documentary of
Sir Jack Charlton & Paddy Irish Football Legacy.
You'll Never Walk Alone :
.... EVERGREEN 🌲!

Great Man from A Tottenham fan R.I.P
Jack Charlton's the best Irish football manager of all.
Funny how Colm went on to play Don Revie in The Dammed United and was an absolute ringer for him
and in layer cake
R.I.P Jack. LEGEND
How not to love this Irish generation, they were amazing
It took an English manager and English players to make it happen.
It was a great roster. Ireland probably never will see the likes again
@@greatone7314 most of us have got Irish blood in our veins.
He scored 70 goals for Leeds as a centre half - not bad going
9th all time top scorer at Leeds. Started his career as a striker and was swapped for John Charles apparently.
Rip jack you will be missed
R.I.P. Jack Charlton.
Thanks for the memories big Jack.R.I.P
Captivating times for me,jeysus jack charlton brought memories that will always remain
Without Jack & the Irish team years, the Peace Accord wouldn't have happened I feel. It took the focus away & it connected the Irish Republic to Britain as just people living & loving rather than killing & hate.
