SOCCER - JACK CHARLTON
The FAI are asking Republic of Ireland fans to wear green today as the funeral takes place in Newcastle for the nation's most successful manager, Jack Charlton.
Jack passed away last Friday week at the age of 85.
The cortege will pass through his home town of Ashington in Northumberland.
Almost 20 thousand fans have signed the FAI's virtual book of condolences and the Association are in talks with Jack's family over a fitting memorial and tribute once coronavirus restrictions are lifted.
Irish radio stations are being encouraged to play ‘Put ‘em Under Pressure’ at 12.30pm as a mark of respect - we’ll be doing just that on the new OTB Sports App later.
Meanwhile An Post and Britain’s Royal Mail are to collaborate on the release of new postmark for the first time, commemorating the life of Jack Charlton.
For the next three weeks, all stamped mail posted in Ireland and England will be marked with a football and the words ‘Jack Charlton, 1935-2020′.

ALL-IRELAND LEAGUE
Meanwhile, the Irish Independent report that League of Ireland Premier Division clubs have written to the FAI to ask them to send the proposal for an All-Ireland League to UEFA so that the European governing body can ratify it.
If UEFA signed off on the proposal, it would still require support from the Irish Football Association north of the border.

PREMIER LEAGUE
Wolves know a win over Chelsea on Sunday will secure European football for a second season.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side occupy sixth place in the Premier League this morning following a 2-nil win over Crystal Palace.
Wolves have already surpassed their points total from last year.
Elsewhere, Sheffield United's European ambitions bit the dust with a 1-nil defeat at home to Everton.
And Brighton manager Graham Potter says he's pleased with his side's approach since the restart.
A scoreless draw with Newcastle ensured their Premier League survival.
Watford have their first game since the sacking of Nigel Pearson this evening. Should they beat Manchester City at Vicarage Road, they will all-but secure their safety.
Kick-off in that one is at 6.
Aston Villa start tonight three points adrift of Watford, and of survival, and they welcome FA Cup finalists Arsenal to Villa Park.
It's an 8.15 start there.
