A nice wee tribute to a giant among men. John Charles was a wee bit before my time..but I remember seeing film clips of him years ago. Wish he played for Celtic !!! Respect.
Ciao Jonn il gigante buono ,lo vidi in un Juventus-Fiorentina a sbattere contro il palo...lo stesso tremò per 5minuti ! Lo stadio ammutoli' credendo fosse morto...dopo alcuni minuti si alzò fra lo stupore di tutti ! Avevo 14 anni...ora ne ho 79 ! Solo Scirea è stato più grande di lui per lealtà e sportività! Ciao idolo di allora con Sivori e Boniperti ⚽️⚽️⚽️🦓
@José Fernandes To put mention giggs in the same breath as Charles, Charlton and Finney is nothing short of criminal, he's not fit to shine their boots. You obviously aren't all there.
@SwanseaCityNo12 Well at least Swansea are in the Premier League now. His mum thought he needed a passport to go play for Leeds. Phew, if Swansea had a player of his standard now, i would really fancy their chances next season. C.Ronaldo videos get millions of viewings, and John Charles only a few thousand; sad state of affairs
Edwards career was far too short, and his name get's mentioned more to what he could of been rather than what he was at the time. His potential. Best was a great player, a world beater, but again his career where he was at the very top was rather short. For me Ryan Giggs will always be the greatest British player, with Charlton and Finney 2nd and 3rd. When talking about a great player, longevity has to come into it, along with statistics and their control and influence of a game.
According to Bobby Robson, John Charles is right up there with the very, very best . Di Stefano, Pele, Cruyff, and maradona . Jimmy Greaves said he was Britain's greatest ever, ad even Jack Charlton told Eddie Gray that John was better than "our Bob" That's good enough for me .

The fact he wore the Captains armband at Juve shows you how much they respected him and loved him. Don’t make them like big John Anymore 💪🏼🙌🏼
Great respect to an absolute legend of the game. The way he played the game should be a blueprint for generations to come.
Grazie KIng John ! Juventus number 1 STAR

Good striker . But Charles was no Harry Maguire when he played centre back !
Thank God for that.
Motorcycle Emptiness ?
he can't go to Leeds, why ? he hasn't got a passport yet, how Welsh can you get ? :)
