We need to name a stand after Jack, or have a statue of him out side the aviva, something has to be done, he was a special English man for us Irish people.
Good bye big jack, i was 8 in 1990 and can remember that world cup like it was yesterday, great manager, great man, now RIP, you will never be forgotten. 🇮🇪
I remembered watching the 90s world cup games with my grandfather in my grandparents kitchen, especially the Romanian game and the penalty shoot out. It was rare to see my late grandfather shoot out of his chair with joy, as he had arthritis and that was one of the fondest memories.
So moving seeing Big Jack get emotional! Not a pretty footballer but effective! He came through the school of hard knocks and never forgot where he came from. A truly special man! RIP Jack.
Jack you were special mate, I'm English but l loved watching your Eire team, what a great team you created. Still like watching Eire now because of you. Rest in peace great man.
It's not the Protestants, it's the Unionists that's the problem! I had protestant friends more Irish than I was! Irish history, alot of the leaders of the old IRA where protestant, Sir Roger Casement, Eriskin Childers, Wolfe Tone, Charles Stewart Parnell and Henry Mc Craken!
Not if your from the North East of England. 2 World cup winners in one family. How many countries can claim that, and my home county Northumberland can, we never forget up here.
@@LeMerch Aye your right there, as far away from London as you can get, and threaten like 2nd class citizens in our own country, looked down on as soon as we speak. But wa divvent care wa knaa wa canny.
What a lot of irish ppl don't realise is that here in the north of England we have a lot more in common with the irish and the Scots than we do with those in London and down south. Northern England and the south are two very different places.
@@darrenlamb5640 that's so true. The Uriah say how nice people are in the North of England. Lots of Irish settled around Preston, Liverpool, Manchester, etc.
RIP Jack! Thanks for all the great memories, LUFC, England 🏴 ‘66 & beyond, & as Manager of the ☘️Republic’s 🇮🇪Team! Along with St. Patrick, you’re the other one of Ireland’s two most favorite Englishmen! Keep nodding them in, in the great game going on upstairs, Big Jack!! 👍👋😉😊🇬🇧🏴☘️🇮🇪
Thank you so much Jack. I never thought he would delivered Ireland to the bigger tournament. When he was a new Irish manager in 1986. I had no idea what he was going to do with Ireland. I just lived in hope so he did it with Ireland for nearly 10 years.
The Rep of Ireland was in football doldrums in the 1970's and 80's, watching the great Northern Ireland team in the 1982 World Cup was hard as we could never get there. But Jack changed all this when he came along. The 1990 World Cup was the peak for Sporting achievements in Ireland as far as I am concerned and i still get a buzz when looking back at the highlights.
It's been a long time since I shed some tears. If like me and everyone who was there in 1990 I was 15 and I can say without doubt that big Jack dragged this country out of the Gutter. My Big Jack Rest in Peace🙏🇮🇪🍀☮️
Jack was so humble, feel like I lost a family member. I am from HK, went2 school in NI in 90s, you know what the NI unionists followed the green army secretly on newspaper and telly, they wanted Republic to win games, especially the England games.
I was 19 when we won in 1966. 'Wor Jackie' as Geordies called him was a big man in stature and heart. What he did for Ireland was exceptional. And how they loved him back. RIP Canny Lad ...
I was 16 in Dublin in 1990, Under Jack Charltons management He inspired a whole nation, It was like a national Euphoria, Difficult to explain, We was terrible, but that was not the point, He gave a small nation a platform, RIP Jack Charlton..
God jack is missed so much, he was a great character, him and Bobby robson I could listen to all day, think it’s the Geordie accent but the two were just legends of the game 👏 rest in peace to both
I'm 45 now I was 11 when Jack took over the Rep of Ireland and I can honestly say what he done for this country and me as a young kid will likely never be replecated. What a great man and equally a great group of players who played for him as much as the jersey. A son of Ballina rest in peace Jack.
Everyone loved him as a character in the game no matter who you supported. I remember his final game in charge of Ireland when he broke down in tears after the friendly doing an in terview on TV. A lovely man who will never be forgotten and a truly great manager. In a era where now there are few characters like him and Brian Clough I think its important we all keep these memories close to our hearts.
I love watching Ireland in tournaments. I'd be as happy to see Ireland winning a cup as I would England. I know the celebration would definitely be better.
Bobby sands poet and a soldier greatest ever Irishman no arguments life springs from death and from those graves of patriot men and woman spring living nations 🇮🇪🔫
what an incredible man, i remember when he came here first, i was a young teen. World Cup 90 was the happiest thing that happened in Ireland for a long time. It, and Jack, gave the irish people pride and confidence. Extraordinary, great man. Rest in peace
In part of the BBC documentary "Finding Jack Charlton" he's watching old clips of himself from the Ireland management days and he can't remember any of it, but he does say "that's me!". Very sad.
We watched that program very thoughtful what a wonderful man 😊.He loved Ireland he remembered the Irish song at the end very sad really appreciate and sad .We love Ireland 🌈 rest in peace Jack .💚💚
Met jack many times over the years i gotta say i love that man what a player what a manager but a gentleman off the pitch we will never see his like again unforgently rest easy big jack thanks again
Great that Jack was still able to fully enjoy the moment. Ireland had a genius, Paul McGrath, and Jack knew how to look after him. The rest is incredible history.
Emotional seeing the great man here. He is without question the single greatest individual in the history of Irish football. Through his big personality (and his ability to get players of Irish heritage who then gelled seemlessly with Dubliners, Corkmen etc.) he created a immense connection between the team and the supporters. He was our Shankly.
