Finding Jack Charlton

Has anyone watched this? It is quite tragic to see the man in the last part of his life but the programme was most interesting.
It is on BBC iPlayer.

My husband and I watched it very good but like you say sad to see him in his latter years obviously not the man he was.

I did watch it MAC l thought it was just a great tribute but true to a great Geordie footballing family he was such a terrific character above all a hell of a footballer and manager he took the northern Leland team to the quarter finals of the World Cup,it was so sad to see him deteriate and like many footballers succumb to alziemers ad we all no why such a great header of the ball.

I sat next to him at a couple of Dinners in Birmingham.
He could be very funny, very kind but if he disliked something or somebody he made it very clear.
My memories of those two evenings are among my most cherished.

I wonder what happened to magpies player Vic Keble. He never used his feet if he could get his head to the ball.

Mac I watched it and although not a football fan, I am a Geordie girl and enjoyed the whole programme apart from the deep sadness of the ending which reminded me of exactly how my husband was towards the end of his life. Jack was the name of both of them and both lovely men.

Brilliant the way they went from the highs to the very lows of his life, so sad. Definitely going to watch again.
