If less than 50 folk cheques not cashed. Over 50 the cheque got cashed. But it’s a feel good fact at this sad time
Watching bbc news earlier but as a young man he decided he would give up football and go down the mine with his dad.he spent one shift down the mine and went back to playing footballWhen he was Newcastle manager he got Gazza into fishing to try to calm him down and used to take him to Dumfries with him, they stayed at the Nith Hotel regularly.
I read a story last week that Jack and Bobby Charlton’s Dad was a miner and was working on the day of the 1966 World Cup Final. He only found out that his two boys had won the World Cup when he surfaced at the end of his shift!
This DH.An immortal in English and Irish football.
Can't say I enjoyed watching his Ireland team, but no doubt a manager who got every last ounce out his players.
Absolute legend and a Gentleman.....RIP
Thanks Jack for this little beauty.....UTO
