    I just watched Finding Jack Charlton. I'd recommend it.

    JC, his defending wasn't pretty, but it was effective. My kind of defender! God bless Jack. When your in heaven playing for England, do me a favour when you play Argentina, mark Maradona.

    The only let down was Chris de Burgh singing.

    Finding Jack is a tremendous tribute to a quite unique and somewhat unsung character .. Jack was a VERY hard man yet underneath had a heart of liquid gold .. pity that he and brother Sir Bobby appeared never to reconcile before Jack's death

    He started off in the wrong key and never managed to get out of it!
  • Will have to try and track down the documentary over here, would love to see it.

    Nothing - absolutely nothing - sums up Jack Charlton more than when he took Liam Brady off before half-time in HIS OWN TESTIMONIAL MATCH at a packed Lansdowne Road vs West Germany well before half time.

    ”I had to take him off,” said Jack, “The Jarmans were running riot in midfield man!”
