Jack Charlton has passed away

RIP Big Jack. Footballing giant in every sense of the word when football was a real 'proper game'.

Although I have to admit that I had and still don"t have any time for the Repuplic of Ireland team, he did a tremendous job there.

That is now over half of England's 1966 World Cup winning players who have died.
 
He was part of the legendary ITV 1970 World cup panel and he famously got into a furious row live on air with either Derek Dougan or Malcolm Allison which lasted for several days about an ' over the top ' tackle and which was only resolved by the general public phoning in to say who they agreed with.
Brian Clough was also on that panel in what was probably the most famous and outspoken in tv sport.
