Glad to see the stories circulating last year of a major decline in his health seem to be unfounded. Legend

It's enough to give you the chills. Delaney mastering the mass shooter look.

I said "I'd be Tony Cascarino, circa 1995"

Jack was unquestionably the best/most important manager we had. He created a zeitgeist that blew other sports out of the water. Literally everyone got involved and enjoyed 1990 in particular. Football became the national game and it can't be estimated how important this was, especially outside the cities. A lot of football folk didn't like how he basically dismantled the underage structures and cut the link between the national team and domestic game, but the results spoke for themselves.
 
However the end was awful. Jack seemed to be the only person who didn't realise that Anfield was the end of the road and basically forced the FAI into letting him go rather than walk out the front door when the contract was up.

Respect for the man bigtime for the job he did, but was on the wane after 1992. Refused to alter his tactics at USA94 when it was all to play for against Norway,3 points in that game would have been a fasttrack into the semi-finals. We had the players to make it but jack stifled them with his tactics.

Jack always said he would only stay as long as the fans wanted him.
 
He knew Anfield was the end but had seen our 'easy' draw for WC98 and went mmmmmm.
 
When he was summonsed to Merrion Square in Christmas week he wasnt happy as he wanted it to wait til January when it would have been ten years - his words.

I don't think you can blame the FAI on this score. We knew he was gone, they were talking about a replacement, Jack had done the tearful goodbye. I don't recall him being summonsed, my memory of that is he called the meeting in which they had to spell out that his contract would not be renewed as previously discussed. As you say, he was trying to be oblique and it didn't work out for him - there was a bit of the Clough about the whole thing.
 
Sad end to a great era.

New book out in time for Chrimbo. Hopefully not just peddling books for money and it's a decent read.

As one of the true legends of Irish and English football, Jack Charlton was a man both loved and feared, but now the people who have lived with him all of his life introduce the real 'Big Jack' in this brilliant authorised biography which is presented in a foreword by Jack himself For the first time Jack's wife and family, his teammates as a World Cup winner with England in 1966, and his players during his management years with Middlesborough, Sheffield Wednesday, Newcastle and Ireland tell their stories of the man who dominated their lives. Graeme Souness, Chris Waddle, and Peter Beardsley amongst others, are joined by Mick McCarthy, Niall Quinn and the greatest footballers who played under Jack for 10 years as Ireland team boss. This is the most personable, inviting and intimate account of Jack Charlton's life, and the book contains photographs published for the first time from Jack and Pat Charlton's personal collection. 'Jack Charlton: The Authorised Biography' is written by former Daily Mail Northern Football Correspondent, Colin Young.

Who cares?

For all it's right wing agendas, biased journalists, etc., it's one of the best papers for reporting on the LOI, often reporting on minor games in both divisions. I don't follow GAA, and have only a little interest in Rugby, but it seems to give great coverage to them too. It also employs a lot of Irish staff, much moreso than some of the other 'British' titles that sell in Ireland.

I wouldn't hold this against buying or reading a book about Jack Charlton. In fact, I look forward to you buying me a copy.
