Jack Charlton - Paul McGrath

[Clive W]

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.”

It’s actually a documentary

Definitely  watching this I had some great  times in the 80s following Irelands adventures with Jack.

I used to see Jack quite often when we lived in Ponteland. One thing I will remember about him up there was he always seemed to be in his wellies.
A true gent, Jack always had time for everyone and you couldn't wish to find a more down-to-earth bloke.
