    I may be wrong but it always seemed Bobby resented his working class roots while big Jack is most comfortable around his own. Bobby married a model, plays golf and lives in an upper class estate. Big Jack married a local girl, loves a pint with the lads and loves a bit of banter. RIP Big Jack Charlton.

      Bobby resented the place because he never fit in, but he used that as fuel to change his life and thats okay. Sometimes people are born into a place like this and are destined for other things and then there is Jack Charlton. A true man of the people

      When he was Newcastle manager during training sessions at Benwell, my mate's late brother who had severe learning difficulties, used to watch every Newcastle game and turn up at training sessions. Jack always ran him home in his car. He also helped striking miners during the pit strike in 1984/85. What a wonderful man he was

    Jack turned me into a Wednesday fan. 45+ years on and I don’t know whether to thank him or curse him! We used to see him and his wife Pat in our local Asda in Chapeltown, and at 6 years old my Mam sent me off to get a bag of sugar. All the sugar on the bottom crates was gone. Then this bang hand comes down and someone say “There you go pet.” in an accent I didn’t recognise. I turned round to look up into the towering presence of Jack Charlton. I was so shocked I didn’t even say thank you. I didn’t know who he was but as we’re heading towards the checkout my Mam goes pop eyed and says “Oh my God that’s Jack Charlton, the World Cup Winner!” He heard her and smiled a bit, giving me a wink. I asked my Mam what a World Cup winner was doing in Asda in Chapeltown, Sheffield. When she told me he was the Wednesday manager I started supporting them.
    As a Wednesday fan the stories of Jack are the stuff of legend. I recall how he brought the boys of 66 to play the Steelworkers who were on strike. He saw my Wednesday scarf and ruffled my hair.
    We saw him one time on the beach at Cleethorpes in winter with his trousers rolled up having a paddle. This was half an hour before kick off!
    Then with the team there were stories of how he was watching them all fail at free kicks, put down his cigarette and cup of tea then hammered an unstoppable kick past Bob Boulder. He yelled “Is that really too much to ask!” He was wearing his brogues at the time.
    On one occasion the physio asked for a freezer for ice packs, and was surprised when the parsimonious Charlton concurred straight away. When he went to use the freezer he found it was neatly packed with Jack’s trout!
    A big man and a man of the people. He was a true gent as well.

    Fantastic portrayal of Ashington in the 70's............but very different now (as are most places). Was in Ashington today and the talk was all about the sad passing of Bob......Jacks younger brother. They (along with Milburn) were absolute legends of football all coming from a small pit village in Northumberland. Things need to move on but sadly Ashington has not faired well although the people are still salt of the earth. RIP Bobby

Our lot started singing “Judas” as he had taken the ROI job and in good jest he stopped half way up and waved a bit walking stick above his head and laughed. We all laughed with him.

    Ah, Jack Charlton, that paragon of human kindness. For the benefit of his admirers (both of you), that was sarcasm, and if you don't know what paragon means, look it up in a dictionary. That's a sort of book.
    I was walking around my coastal estate this morning, and in between seeing that the snowdrops have graciously given way to the daffodils, and welcoming the return of my seagulls as they embark on the nesting season with familiar couples and new faces taking up their places on the roofs, gather materials for building, and fly down to the patio for breakfast, I noted with invigorating delight that the air is fresher these days, a little less polluted by the putrid stench of animal abusers.
    Of course there is still much for the animal rights movement to do, but the march of civilisation is unrelenting, and while Charlton's passing will not mark an end to the squalid countryside pursuits in which he found his greatest happiness, there is a growing acceptance that animal abuse is as evil as slavery or paedophilia or racism, and the history of humanitarian progress, encompassing enslavement abolition, universal suffrage, child protection, the anti-racism movement, LGBTQ rights and many other milestones, is firmly not on the side of today's successors of the perpetrators of earlier atrocities.
    Everywhere, there are encouraging signs that this progress is ongoing. In the same week that saw the passing of the royal who welcomed global warming because it resulted in more birds for him to shoot, we learn that his grandson who decided to move away from so-called royal duties has, more importantly, also abandoned shooting, in which he only ever participated because he was indoctrinated into it from his earliest days. Who would have predicted such a welcome turnaround? Again, the march of civilisation into the future is unrelenting.
    Jack Charlton is in the past now. His achievements in his chosen sport were, even according to his objective biographers, most kindly summed up as nothing special, but mediocrity is no shame, and if his footballing pleased its supporters, then it is in fact something to celebrate.
    However, no-one should seek to obscure, let alone endorse, what he got up to the rest of the time, and above all the use of hypocrisy must be discarded once and for all. If Charlton truly cared about improving the environment as some of his apologists claim, and that is an objective well worth pursuing, he could have achieved it without abusing defenceless animals, but he did not, because Charlton liked killing solely for the enjoyment it gave him.
    To those whose reptilian brains have now been activated in prelude to hurling verbal abuse at me, as much as I applaud your ability to stand upright with your knuckles precariously free of the ground, and even though I admire you for somehow learning to speak without grunting, my years of campaigning have rendered utterly tedious anything you can possibly say in the barely literate rantings you are already endeavouring to string together, but for the sake of clarity, reptilian brain is a scientific term. I am not suggesting that you are reptiles. If you were, "Big Jack" would have shot you ages ago, on the basis that you were living creatures and moved within range of his guns, the only justifications required by that good and gifted man (also sarcasm).
