what are your favourite photographs of him? what's been interesting is that some of the photographs i have got here were before i was born. this one was in ashington, i presume just before i was born. this one was in ashington, i presumejust after the world cup, and that is him at bobby, and you can see all of the people, and you can see all of the people, and this one was him fishing with my sister's mum, and this one particularly i really like. we had this made into a painting, and it's up this made into a painting, and it's up at our house in the yorkshire dales which grandpa bought for his pa rents, dales which grandpa bought for his parents, and the ashes of his pa rents a re parents, and the ashes of his parents are both in that house, and this photo is now a painting on the wall, and grant had loved it there. he spent a lot of time in the yorkshire dales and he loved it there. we still spent lots of time there, and even at the local pub. he knew the people at the local pub, and actually, i think, one of the overwhelming things that we've seen from the responses we've got in the last 2a hours has been how much time he gave to people, and everybody says, oh, i ran into him in a restau ra nt says, oh, i ran into him in a restaurant or a fish and chip shop oi’ restaurant or a fish and chip shop or one saw him in the supermarket and, without fail, everybody says, he stopped and chatted to me and gave me time, and i think that's quite amazing. he was so humble and so quite amazing. he was so humble and so kind of down to earth and so genuine. he was a really

elland road, everybody seems to have a story about him, that they met him or remember an act of kindness, and they have been sharing that today. what's that like for you, for the family, that these complete strangers are sharing your grief? does it make you feel better?” think it does. it's... what has really co m e think it does. it's... what has really come out so strongly is that everybody knew the person that we knew, and i remember one day and a man who was from ireland and he came to ground mount —— grandad and grandma's still in northumberland and he asked if granddad could help him, and he didn't know this man, and he went above and beyond to really help him, and i think the sort of person he was. he was really generous with his time, and i think today what i've particularly seen is so today what i've particularly seen is so many tributes from people in ireland, and ireland held a very special place in his heart, but what we see today is that he held a really special place in lots of irish people's parts, and that is really quite amazing. —— irish people's hearts. good evening. the football legend jack charlton — part of england's 1966 world cup winning team, has

younger brother bobby, and while bobby's skills soon made him a star, jack's more defensive qualities were less glamorous, and he knew it. great tackle by charlton. came in like a brick wall, and an elbow in the face. people tried to compare us, and i used to say you shouldn't compare us. i can't play. i can stop other people playing, but i can't play. bobby can play. he's a creative player. but

going tojump. charlton first flourished at middlesbrough, but it's with the republic of ireland he'll be most colourfully remembered, after guiding them to theirfirst world cup in 1990, he took them all the way to the quarterfinals. ireland! they are in the last eight and the party can begin. an english hero returned home an irish one too, his feats the stuff of footballing folklore. jack was a natural leader. he was a fighter in the way he both played and managed as well and got his teams to play, they were a kind of replica of his personality. but he was also gentle at the same time. his relationship with his brother was sometimes strained, but on an emotional night in 2008, he presented an award to the player he still regarded as the best. when we were kids and we used to go to the park and play, i would go home for dinner and he would stay on all day. bobby charlton was the greatest player i have ever seen and my brother. but jack charlton's achievements, like the man himself, stood tall. one of english football's biggest characters. jack charlton who died, last night, at the age of 85. fiona trott is outside leeds united's elland road football ground, where floral tributes are being laid. fiona, a sad day forfans. it is, and many of them are coming here today to lay flowers amongst the regular tributes, and what has been striking here today is that many of the people we have spoken to have actually met jack charlton, and that says a lot about the man, the fact that he had time for people. they talked about his kindness and his sense of humour and the family had told us today that they get comfort from that. the fans are describing the exact same man that they knew and loved. the football capital association says we are devastated at the news at the death of jack
