FORMER IRELAND MANAGER Jack Charlton was presented to the Aviva Stadium crowd before kick-off this afternoon.

And fans of both the Boys in Green and England — with whom he won the 1966 World Cup, of course — gave him a much-deserved standing ovation which prompted an emotional reaction from Big Jack.
Jeez I love Jack… Always did. He reminds me of a time of fun. Regardless of the fact that I’m a girl… Every kid on our road was kitted out in shorts complete with ball in hands at half time for a quick kick around during half time in the 94 World Cup! Andy Townsend made sure it was cool to have bleached hair :-)
Will always be remembered with great affection in this country. Unfortunately old father time is catching up with him and he’s starting to show his 80 years. Thanks for all the great football memories Jack.
Met Jack outside a hotel in Dublin a couple of years back. I got a picture and had a chat for a few mins about trappatoni and fishing. Unreal down to earth gent and legend.
He is a legend is Jack. He did so much for this country and we will always be grateful for the fantastic memories of Italia 90 and USA 94 etc Though I reckon he loves us as much as we love him.
I was at the qualifier vs Holland in Anfield. We all figured it was his last game when we lost, all the Irish fans stayed chanting his name till he came out.
Actually he over achieved with what he had. It wasn’t pretty at times but he got results. Ask any manager and they will tell you once you get a result that’s what your judged on.
Watch Jose at Chelsea, horrible to watch at times grinding out 1-0 wins but he is so successful with the style he uses. Jack did a good job with average players.
Qualified for Euro ’88, defeated a very good English (his home country) team. Was within a crap decision of making the semi’s.
Qualified for Italia ’90, which gave the country a huge moral boost in times of need. Qualified for USA ’94, beat the eventual finalists (only team to do so).
Also carried himself with great dignity and bought into our way of life – definitely could’ve done better /s
Do u no what flex this is the second time u made a stupid comment in a week !! If u have nothing positive to say about any of our sporting greats then piss off back to the hole u came from

We’re all part of Jackies Army……
We’re all off to Italy….
Thanks for the memories Jack!
And we’ll really shake them up…
when we win the world cup…..(wow this song gets so surreal)
Over for the mayfly fishing again Jack! Tight lines!
Coz Ireland are the greatest football team. Good times.
Singing the Irish national anthem better than the players
Noticed him singing it and Martin o’neill not
Jeez I love Jack… Always did. He reminds me of a time of fun. Regardless of the fact that I’m a girl… Every kid on our road was kitted out in shorts complete with ball in hands at half time for a quick kick around during half time in the 94 World Cup! Andy Townsend made sure it was cool to have bleached hair :-)
Good times.
Put em under pressure
Ah good man Jack. Thanks for the mems. Possibly the happiest ones.
Some man. Hope he is keeping well.
Legend!
In fairness to the old codger he made the clowns in the FAI eyeball him when they sacked him,he has a pair.
Well deserved fantastic manager and an absolute gentleman 3 cheers for jack
Hip Hip
Great to see jack back in Aviva he’s looking good great man
Thanks for putting us on the map Jack. Those were great days. So much fun & excitement
Will always be remembered with great affection in this country. Unfortunately old father time is catching up with him and he’s starting to show his 80 years. Thanks for all the great football memories Jack.
Yep, real tearjerker right there, a welcome befitting an absolute legend of a man.
Met Jack outside a hotel in Dublin a couple of years back. I got a picture and had a chat for a few mins about trappatoni and fishing. Unreal down to earth gent and legend.
Good times, never to be seen again, Big Jack your a legend
Let’s not forget Jockser!
Jockser’s unexpected surprise must be well into his twenties at this stage.
Do you remember the Germans daughter from the banks of the river Rhine? Didn’t he put her up the pole in ’88. He must be younger than his kid so!
Happy days Jack .. Thanks for the fond memories .. Ya legend
The most popular English man in Ireland ever, a legend of a man who brought this country together like no politician ever did.
He is a legend is Jack. He did so much for this country and we will always be grateful for the fantastic memories of Italia 90 and USA 94 etc Though I reckon he loves us as much as we love him.
I heard Jack is puking in a bucket looking at all this passing on the ground
Italia 90, best irish summer yet !
Love him. My memories of Euro 88, Italia 90 and USA 94 are still as vivid today. Made the whole country smile.
I was at the qualifier vs Holland in Anfield. We all figured it was his last game when we lost, all the Irish fans stayed chanting his name till he came out.
Awful coach. Couldn’t use what he had.
Flex you big pussy cat !!
Actually he over achieved with what he had. It wasn’t pretty at times but he got results. Ask any manager and they will tell you once you get a result that’s what your judged on.
Watch Jose at Chelsea, horrible to watch at times grinding out 1-0 wins but he is so successful with the style he uses. Jack did a good job with average players.
Couldn’t agree more Flex.
Qualified for Euro ’88, defeated a very good English (his home country) team. Was within a crap decision of making the semi’s.
Qualified for Italia ’90, which gave the country a huge moral boost in times of need. Qualified for USA ’94, beat the eventual finalists (only team to do so).
Also carried himself with great dignity and bought into our way of life – definitely could’ve done better /s
Flex you attention seeker
I don’t think we would love him anymore if we had won the World Cup.! Absolute legend.
Fool
Surely a better video clip can be found?
Where’s Maurice??
Setters that is ….
Pity we couldn’t score a ‘goool’ for Jack.
cause ireland are the greatest football team!
