Wonderful extract from today’s DT book review about Jack Charlton’s life, an in particular his battle with dementia;
“ And so we see Charlton going fishing with his son John. We see him feeding the ducks and eating lunch with the grandchildren. We see him suddenly break into booming song — 'Blaydon Races' of course — and an occasional moment when something in his ravaged memory is suddenly jogged. The sight of Paul McGrath on video, which makes him visibly smile, is one wonderful such example.”
