The legend of Jack Charlton

The legend of Jack Charlton

Jack Charlton has become a legend in world football as his Irish team, battling the giants, carried the banner for the rest of the British Isles. As a player – over 20 years with Leeds and England and a World Cup winner in 1966 – Charlton had also made a considerable impact. This book celebrates the character of the man – his outspokenness, his love of fishing and the countryside, his abilities as motivator, leader and ambassador for the country that has adopted him – and his achievements. It includes up-to-the-minute photographs and descriptions of the World Cup and the celebrations and festivities of the homecoming.
