The legendary Republic of Ireland manager Jack Charlton has died at the age of 85.
The former England defender won a World Cup winner's medal in 1966. He spent his entire 21-year playing career at Leeds, making a joint club record 773 appearances, before retiring as a player in 1973 and going on to a colourful career as a manager.
One of English football's most popular and vocal characters, he spent time as a pundit and had spells as manager of Sheffield Wednesday, Middlesbrough and his hometown club Newcastle.
Affectionately known as Big Jack, he took over the reins as Ireland manager in 1986 and brought unprecedented success to the national side as he guided the Republic to their first major finals at Euro 88 and the World Cup in Italy in 1990 and four years later in 1994.
Charlton's last game in charge of the Irish team was the Euro 96 play-off defeat to the Netherlands, where the Dutch claimed the final spot at the tournament thanks to a 2-0 victory at Anfield in December 1995.
