Jack Charlton Rip

[Green Manalishi]

Sorry to see that he passed away this morning age 85 after a long battle with dementia and cancer

[JimBHibees]

Huge personality and had a great career. RIP Jack.

Sad time for Leeds fans given recent death of Norman Hunter also.

[Sammy7nil]

Sad news RIP big man

[Pretty Boy]

Aah that's sad news. Too young to remember him as a player but remember him managing Ireland. I was on holiday when USA 94 was taking place and watched a couple of Ireland games with the Irish who were staying in our hotel, which seemed liked half of Dublin. They worshipped the man.

RIP.

[Scouse Hibee]

Loved watching his Republic teams at the World Cups, he seemed to be the man who started the trend of seeking out players with distant links and relatives making them eligible to play for the a country other than their birthplace. “What’s that son, your granny once had a pint of Guinness, you’re in’”😁

RIP Jack Charlton

[Tom Hart RIP]

Sad news. I was there the night he scored the goal that knocked us out of the Fairs Cup.
RIP

[Hibby Gav]

RIP Jack.... that World Cup ( not that one) with Ireland in the US was brilliant !

Great player & a Loyal club man done it all with England what you seen was what you got. After finishing playing Highlight managing Ireland for sure gave it all a real Legend in football & Life irrespective of where you where born. Seen him at ER & Elland rd back in the day .

[BroxburnHibee]

Sad news.

1968, over 40,000 at Easter Road - Can still see his big bald heid under the floodlights rising above our defenders and scoring against us with a few minutes to play after Clive Thomas had given a free kick against our keeper for taking more than 4 steps.! My dad and uncles were going ballistic.! Out of Europe, 2-1 on aggregate. But Jack seemed a genuine character and his managerial exploits with Ireland were top entertainment. RIP.

Even though I was 6 years old at the time I still remember a lot of games from US 94. I obviously didn't really understand at that point Ireland playing Italy in America, in NYC, must have been huge. I do remember this game vaguely though.

[CropleyWasGod]

23 years with Leeds. 23 years.

Changed days. Many players these days don't last 23 months.

In an era of dirty big *******s, it has to be said he was up there with the dirtiest 🙏. 😁

[hibsfan7]

I saw him play the 1st time hibs played leeds in europe hescored the winning goal with a header

Wasn’t even that tenuous with Tony Cascarino!

Watched this game in a pub in Dublin. Crazy scenes.

Different world.

[Pagan Hibernia]

He’ll be missed. An absolute hero in the Republic of Ireland.

he was a great character from a bygone age. To be honest, the football his teams played was from a bygone age too. As much success as that Ireland team had they were not easy on the eye.

The Shed end that night was brilliant. We really thought we had won it until that free kick. He seemed to tower above everyone else for ages. A truly cold night as well as a long dream-broken walk home.

RIP big fella.

Met him once, loves his fishing more than anyone I’ve ever met. Liked a chat. Didn’t have a good word to say about wor bobby. Also the hardest looking pensioner ever.

I think quite a few of his Leeds team-mates from that era were also with the club for many years.

Who is Hibs' longest serving player?

[Iggy Pope]

Sad to hear this, a real character and one that would never have to pay for a pint in Ireland.
Leeds United have lost a lot of ex players these past few months.
R.I.P. Jack.

[jgl07]

Great player and underrated manager.

I met him once in the garage at the Maybury. He was in Edinburgh for the funeral of Don Revie and stopped in the garage to buy some cigarettes.

He once said that giving up smoking was dead easy and that he had given up six times!

Arthur Duncan at a guess? Lawrie Reilly?

Arthur was 15 years. Lawrie "only" 12.

AD played nearly twice as many games, which tells its own story.

He fell out with Bobby a long time ago, as did their Mum.

He once said about Bobby “my brother might have been a better footballer than me, but I’m a far better bloke.”

Gordon Smith I think - 18 years.

[cabbageandribs1875]

so sad :( his whole playing career at just one club was extraordinary, bags of character, leeds fans certainly going through the emotional wringer the last several months with this news along with trevor cherry and norman hunter(covid -19) passing away

RIP big man.

[Colr]

Sad the hear this.

He obviously is a legend in Ireland and Leeds but I remember how insightful and wise he was as a pundit. No matter the game, if he was reviewing it, I would listen as I always learned something from him.

Bobbie Robson was the same. Really understood the game inside out.
