Jack Charlton

Jack Charlton may have stayed in the shadow of his brother Bobby, but he became a legend in football in his own right. The tall but clumsy teen didn’t believe that he was made for sports until after he got back from tour. To the credit of Don Revie, he was able to train the young football player until he became a pro on the field. Charlton dominated the air and the ground which helped propelled him into the limelight.

He retired from football and was able to transition into becoming a manager. It was here where he also found success. He was best known for his unique combination of compassion and authority as a coach which helped him and his players. He later took over as manager of the Republic of Ireland where, although he made quite a few enemies, he was able to land them great wins. The great Charlton passed away at 85 due to illnesses.
