Re: Jack Charlton has died at the age of 85

He is a legend of mine after he managed Boro all those years ago.
He mixed with all the communities in the town and never bought a beer at The Lord Raglan.
We would all hang out to listen to the fella talk about his time in the game before Boro.

I remember his controversial tackle that got him into bother for admitting it on the TV.

96 goals for Leeds Utd hell of a goal ratio for a centre back.

R.I.P Big Fella you've earned it.

A Leeds United legend. Did he ever patch up his differences with brother Bobby?
RIP Jack

Re: Jack Charlton has died at the age of 85

I'm not really a sports fan but everybody in Ireland loved Jack Charlton, I have never met anyone who didn’t, a great personality with a captivating smile, he liked his pint of the black stuff too, RIP big fella. Nice to see him honoured on both sides of the Irish Sea.

A special postmark is being applied to stamped mail in Ireland and England from today commemorating the life of former Republic of Ireland manager and England 1966 World Cup winner Jack Charlton, who died earlier this month.
Charlton died on 11 July, aged 85.
The Englishman managed the Republic of Ireland football team from 1986-1996, during which time his teams qualified for two World Cup tournaments and one European Championships.
The postmark, which will be on stamped mail posted in both countries until 9 August, is a football logo accompanied by the words*Jack Charlton 1935-2020.
An Post CEO David McRedmond said: "Jack Charlton will always have a special place in the hearts and minds of Irish people. He gave our nation many of our happiest and proudest moments.
"Jack was the greatest example of a culture shared across these islands: that a proud Leeds player, a tall English football hero could become an Irish legend.
"That's why it is so fitting that he should be the subject of the first joint postmark between An Post and Royal Mail."
