[Gaz]

RIP Mr Charlton, seemed like a lovely fella

Loved a Guinness... rip

Met him once on a train in the 00s, told me to sit down and had a bit chat with him. I honestly felt like he would've let me sit there the whole journey. He loved reminiscing about football.

True North East gentleman and a true legend.

RIP Big man

His TV coaching series on Tyne Tees seemed to be on every holiday for years. Think it was filmed at Durham, but can’t find any trace of it on YouTube. Good man.

 

[Alpha P]

He did a football coaching tv programme for kids in the 70s, sorry cant remember its name.
Was doing some keepy-ups and says to watching young'uns "good eh ya bugger"

RIP Jack

Sorry didn't realise mention of programme was SEB

RIP Jackie. Legend.

 

[Arkle]

RIP. Met him on a train a few years ago, I was going to a festival, he was off fishing. Seemed a lovely man, as well as a football legend.

Just seen it on the news, shocking, R. I. P Jack

Not really, he was 85 and has been in bad health for a while.

What a legend he was as a player and a manager. There will be a load of great stories come out over the next few days.

 

[Wolfman]

RIP Big Jackie. Proper character.

 

[Sidewinder2]

That classic picture of him.smoking a tab in his full Leeds kit

RIP Jack, always seemed like a decent bloke.

 

[Silent Bob]

RIP, Jack.

Used to love his co-commentary and the way he mispronounced some names of the players.

Remember ‘Marco Gabadoonie’ when he was doing one of our games

 

[C.ra.ig]

He loved his Shredded Wheat

R.I.P. Jack.
I met him back in the early 80's up at an engineering place in Consett. His son Peter was working there.
Jack and the company owner, a bloke by the name of Mac Murray, went on a walkabout on the shop floor.
Jack was chatting to all the lads, and he was great crack.

Right on ! Mac Murray was one of his drinking "buddies" in the Braes Hotel

 

[Boot Cleaner]

RIP. Top bloke. Never forgot his roots.

Even went to the miners gala.

That was Malcom Allison

I was at that match v Palace. Fantastic as an 11 year old watching the Fullwell in full cry... and I'm Newcastle. IIRC correctly somebody managed to hit Alison with an orange as he paraded about.

 

[Sack Fatto]

Sad news. RIP Big Jack. A great character.

 

[Select coaches]

Six pages in and not one bad word. Must have been a good bloke.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

I actually came to pay respects to Jack Charlton. His son, Peter was on a YTS up at Stanley with my brother. Every morning Jack would drop him off as there wasn't an early bus from Lanchester (I think Jack was living there) However, he made him get the bus home with the rest of the lads so he wouldn't get above himself. Always had a bit crack witthe lads when he saw them, absolutely no side to him at all. A true gent and I'm sure he'll be missed by all who knew him.
