Jack Charlton, a World Cup winner with England and former Republic of Ireland boss, has died aged 85.
The former Leeds defender had been diagnosed with lymphoma in the last year and also had dementia.
One of English football's most popular characters, he had spells in charge of Sheffield Wednesday, Middlesbrough and Newcastle.
He led the Republic of Ireland to their first major finals at Euro 88 and the World Cup quarter-finals at Italia 90.
RIP Jack
Seems to have been around forever

RIP Jack indeed, remember his successful stint as the Republic of Ireland manager very well and glad they did well back then too.  Thanks Jack for your contribution to football, a sporting legend. |

One of the great footballers of all time. Not just as a player but as a team coach as well. He was an absolute legend in Ireland 🇮🇪 RIP

RIP Jack.
A proper football professional, not one of the money obsessed, bling loving types we have now.

Jack was a no nonsense centre half and achieved a lot in the game. Of course he was a World Cup winner but also had FA Cup and league title medals too. What he achieved with the Republic was also up there with those achievements.
RIP Jack
