Ah ffs. Didn't know that about Jack.
Great to see the reception for him. Definitely the most poignant moment in that stadium. Anyone know who was the lad in the England top beside him at the presentation? |

Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

What a lovely moment yesterday. Although the ground wasn't full yet the reception he got, from both sets of fans, was fantastic.
Very sad to hear of his illness, I didn't realise that.

Did not know he was ill until reading it here, terrible news and a terrible illness, grandfather is suffering from it now too. Both of whom got me supporting Ireland as much as I do all those years ago.
A legend of a man. Had the privilege of meeting him at his DVD signing a couple years back in the Square one evening, had plenty of time for everyone, stayed well beyond his time slot to have a good chat. |

Speakers where I was in the stadium were not working. I didn't realise that was for him. I wondered what it was for. Fecking wish I had realised.

Lads he is 80 in all fairness and probably had many a bang to head. It would not be uncommon at all to be showing some signs of a form of dementia.
Obviously the comment made by a poster saying he doesn't remember the world cups etc would be very worrying but not sure how true that source is. He definitely looks like he's lost a bit of sharpness but not like he hadn't a clue where he was, he knew exactly where he was and was even going with the song every so slightly. |

To quote Jack himself as above in my links "My memory is going so I cannot do the word search like I used to – my memory is terrible, the only thing I can remember is the 1966 World Cup team. “I was reading all about Jimmy Greaves going into hospital and I hope I can see him again. “I am looking forward to my birthday, but try not to worry about getting old!" |

Was thinking myself he couldn't be that bad looking at the footage of him yesterday. Seems to be fairly aware of where he was. As others have said he is 80 so probably not too surprising he's showing signs of memory loss especially when you think of the balls that they used in the 60's that he'd have been heading on a regular basis. Look what happend to Jeff Astle

It seems reports of his illness have been greatly exaggerated (thankfully). He goes into real detail about Gascoigne being eligible for Ireland, which makes me think he must be quite okay, even though he admits his memory is failing a bit. |

Those are all written word interviews which could be interpreted anyway....if he was the fully aware Jack that we all remember you'd have thought he'd have been asked for a video interview to say a few words over the weekend.......but like said he's 80 yrs old we all get there eventually (those of us that do make it that far)
edit to say his brother Bobby has not looked well either for a good while now, definite case of Parkinsons if you watch him Edited by gazurtoids - 09 Jun 2015 at 12:07am |
