Born into a footballing family (his mother's cousin was Jackie Milburn), Charlton was initially overshadowed by his younger brother Bobby, who was taken on by Manchester United F.C. while Jack was doing his National Service.

After quitting a job in a coal mine, Charlton applied to join the police, but was then offered a trial by Leeds United after they had spotted him playing as a central defender in an amateur match. The trial game clashed with his police interview, and Charlton chose to play in the game. He impressed enough to be offered an apprenticeship with Leeds, and then signed professional terms in 1952.

Charlton feared for his future at Leeds after Revie's appointment, as the two had disagreed as players. At one point Revie agreed to sell him, but interested clubs - including Liverpool and Manchester United - couldn't match Leeds' asking price. Liverpool Football Club are an English professional Association football club based in Liverpool England. Ultimately, they settled their differences, and Revie built the Leeds defence around Charlton.
Charlton was joined at centre back in 1962 by Norman Hunter, a product of the youth policy. Year 1962 ( MCMLXII) was a Common year starting on Monday (the link is to a full 1962 calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Other youth team players such as Peter Lorimer, Paul Reaney and Billy Bremner also came into the side and Leeds won promotion back to the First Division in 1964. Peter Patrick Lorimer (born 14 December 1946 in Dundee, Scotland) was a footballer who formed part of the much-admired and feared Leeds United Paul Reaney (born 22 October 1944 in Fulham, London) was a long-serving full back with the hugely successful Leeds United team of the 1960s and 1970s William "Billy" John Bremner (born Stirling, Scotland, December 9 1942; died Doncaster, England, December The Football League First Division was the highest division of The Football League between 1993 and 2004 and the highest division of English football overall between Year 1964 ( MCMLXIV) was a Leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display full calendar of the 1964 Gregorian calendar.

Charlton, operating as an emergency striker, set up Bremner's goal for Leeds.
International Recognition And A World Cup Winners Medal
With Charlton approaching his 30th birthday, he was called up by Alf Ramsey to play for England against Scotland at Wembley. Sir Alfred Ernest 'Alf' Ramsey (22 January 1920 &ndash 28 April 1999 was a footballer and manager of the English national football team from 1963 to 1974 The Scotland national football team represents Scotland in international football and is controlled by the Scottish Football Association. The game ended 2-2 and Charlton was impressive enough to keep his place. With England hosting the 1966 World Cup in just over 12 months' time, the incentive to stay in the side was obvious. The 1966 FIFA World Cup, the eighth staging of the World Cup was held in England from 11 July to 30 July
Ramsey chopped and changed other areas of his team as the World Cup neared, but Charlton's partnership at the back with captain Bobby Moore remained a constant. Robert Frederick Chelsea "Bobby" Moore, OBE (12 April 1941 - 24 February 1993 was an English footballer. Charlton got his first England goal in a pre-tournament victory over Denmark before Ramsey confirmed his squad of 22 players for the finals. The Denmark national football team is controlled by the Danish Football Association and has represented the country of Denmark in international football Charlton was in the squad, and was given the No. 5 shirt, an indication that if fit he would be the first choice partner for Moore.

The Mexican national football team is controlled by the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol and represents Mexico in international football competition The French national football team represents the nation of France in international football. The latter game finished 2-0 with Roger Hunt getting both England goals, one of which came after Charlton, venturing forward to add height to the attack, hit the crossbar with a header.

Alan James Ball Jr, MBE (12 May 1945 &ndash 25 April 2007 was an English professional footballer and football club manager As it dropped, Charlton looked the most likely to get to it first, but then Martin Peters stepped in and hit a crisp half volley into the net. Martin Stanford Peters MBE, (born 8 November 1943 in Plaistow, London) was a football player and member of the victorious There were fewer than 15 minutes left.
West Germany pressed for an equaliser and got their reward, due to a controversial refereeing decision. Charlton was adjudged to have climbed over a player to reach a header, and the referee gave a free kick in a dangerously central position deep in the England half. The free kick slammed into the England defence, ricocheted across the penalty area and into the path of Wolfgang Weber who steered it home. Seconds later, the whistle blew for full time, taking the game into extra-time.
England dominated the added 30 minutes, Hurst scored twice to complete his hat-trick, and England won the World Cup 4-2. A hat-trick in Sports is associated with succeeding at anything three times in three consecutive attempts One of more memorable images at the final whistle was the sight of Charlton, at 31 the second oldest member of the team, sinking to his knees with his face in his hands, weeping with joy.
Leeds United: Trophies And Near Misses
In 1967 Charlton had a mixed time. Year 1967 ( MCMLXVII) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link will display full calendar of the 1967 Gregorian calendar. Leeds missed out on domestic honours again and Charlton picked up an injury while playing for England in a 3-2 defeat to Scotland at Wembley, during which he scored. However, he ended the season as the Footballer Of The Year and his future after football as an after-dinner speaker was marked by his speech at the awards ceremony, which earned him a standing ovation.
Charlton finally won domestic honours with Leeds in 1968 with a controversial League Cup victory over Arsenal - the Arsenal players claimed that Charlton had committed a foul in their penalty area prior to the ball reaching Terry Cooper, who scored the only goal.

A year later, Leeds went for the unprecedented treble of League title, FA Cup and European Cup - and missed out on all three.
Everton pipped Leeds to the title, Celtic F.C. beat them in the semi finals of the European Cup, and Leeds lost the FA Cup final to Chelsea after a replay, after a pressured Charlton had unwittingly back-headed a long throw across his own area, allowing David Webb to score Chelsea's winner.

In the summer on 1970, Ramsey named Charlton in his squad of 22 for the 1970 World Cup. The 1970 FIFA World Cup, the ninth staging of the World Cup was held in Mexico, from May 31 to June 21. However, Charlton was not Moore's first choice partner, with Everton's Brian Labone getting the nod after a sturdy series of displays during the European Championships two years earlier. Brian Leslie Labone ( 23 January 1940 &ndash 24 April 2006) played football for Everton between 1958 and 1971 The 1968 UEFA European Football Championship final tournament was held in Italy. Charlton played his 35th and final England game in the 1-0 group win over Czechoslovakia. The Czechoslovakia national football team was the national football team of Czechoslovakia, before the country was split into the Czech Republic England lost in the quarter finals to West Germany, and on the flight home, both Charlton brothers asked Ramsey not to be considered for international duty again.
Twilight honours at Leeds
In October 1970, Charlton famously appeared on a football programme, where he said he'd once had a "little black book" of names of players whom he intended to hurt or exact some form of revenge upon during his playing days. He later said this was a figure of speech and that no such book existed.
Leeds won the Fairs Cup again in 1971, but lost the league championship to Arsenal. Year 1971 ( MCMLXXI) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full calendar of the 1971 Gregorian calendar.

Year 1973 ( MCMLXXIII) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display full calendar of the 1973 Gregorian calendar.
Management
He was offered the job as manager of second division Middlesbrough, and he led them to promotion back to the top flight in his first season by such a considerable margin that he was given the Manager Of The Year award. Middlesbrough Football Club, also known as The Boro are an English football club based in Middlesbrough, who play in the Premier League. Previously, the honour had never been awarded to a manager outside of the First Division.
Charlton quit Middlesbrough in April 1977, and applied unsuccessfully for the job of England manager, which had been controversially vacated by the resignation of his old Leeds boss Don Revie.

An honorary Irishman
Charlton spent a brief time outside of football before being approached to manage the Republic of Ireland. The Republic of Ireland national football team represents Ireland in international football. Ireland had some great individual players at the time, including Liam Brady, Ronnie Whelan, and David O'Leary, but had no history of qualifying for major tournaments. Liam "Chippy" Brady (born 13 February 1956 in Dublin) is a former Irish football player, who is now the assistant manager of the Republic Ronald 'Ronnie' Andrew Whelan (born 25 September 1961 is a former Irish football Midfielder who was an integral part of the dominant Liverpool David Anthony O'Leary is an Irish football manager and former player Charlton, with a little luck, astute tactics, strong organisation and the crafty stretching of the eligibility rules, managed to change that.
He approached players with even the most tentative Irish links to hook up with the Republic - John Aldridge and Ray Houghton, for example, were deemed to be eligible to play for the Republic of Ireland as their grand parents were Irish. John William Aldridge (born Liverpool, 18 September 1958) Aldridge is a British-born former Republic of Ireland international Raymond James Houghton (born January 9 1962 in Glasgow, Scotland) was a Scottish-born footballer who represented the Republic Ireland qualified for the 1988 European Championships in Germany, and were drawn against England in their group. The 1988 UEFA European Football Championship final tournament was held in West Germany.
The World Cup winner with England found himself plotting their downfall as a manager, and he duly delivered; an early Houghton goal was enough to beat England 1-0. Ireland subsequently drew 1-1 with the USSR but went out of the competition when they lost 1-0 to eventual champions Holland. The USSR national football team was the national football team of the Soviet Union. The Netherlands national football team is the national football team of the Netherlands and is controlled by the Royal Netherlands Football Association Ireland were just 9 minutes from making the semi final as they only needed to draw this game. Charlton was rewarded with the runner-up prize in the World Soccer Manager of the Year awards in 1988.
Charlton developed a love for the Irish lifestyle, and for his position as Republic Of Ireland manager, and the people of Ireland returned this with a passion. Under Charlton, Ireland qualified for the 1990 World Cup for the first time ever. In an eventful competition, the unfancied Irish qualified from the group stage after drawing all 3 games against England (1-1), Egypt (0-0) and Holland (1-1). They famously defeated Romania in the second round match which went to penalties after a 0-0 draw, before meeting Pope John Paul II at the Vatican. The Romania national football team is the national football team of Romania and is controlled by the Romanian Football Federation. Pope Vatican City, officially the State of the Vatican City (Stato della Città del Vaticano is a Landlocked sovereign City-state whose territory Charlton admitted that at one point during the service he actually fell asleep.
Ireland eventually went out to the hosts Italy in the quarter finals by just a single goal. The Italian national football team is controlled by the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (FIGC and represents Italy in international football competition It was a tremendous achievement for a team with no previous World Cup history. Over 500,000 fans lined the streets of Dublin to welcome the team home.
Several Irish songwriters waxed lyrical about Big Jack. Songs like "Give It A Lash Jack" (Liam Harrison) and "Put 'em Under Pressure" (Republic of Ireland Football Squad) actually topped the Irish charts during 1990. Liam Harrison (born 1953 is an Irish musician and songwriter He and his group "Goal Celebrities" had a 1990 number 1 hit in The Pogues & The Dubliners released "Jack's Heroes" in support of the 1990 World Cup side.
Ireland failed to reach the Euro 92 despite going through qualification unbeaten, but qualified again for the 1994 World Cup in the U.S., where Charlton infamously had a pitch-side argument with a linesman who was delaying a substitution during Ireland's match with Mexico which they lost 2-1, he was later fined (although he claimed in his autobiography that he never actually paid the fine) and was suspended for the final group match in New York where he watched from the stands, Ireland drew the match 0-0 against Norway. The 1992 UEFA European Football Championship final tournament was hosted by Sweden. The 1994 FIFA World Cup, the 15th staging of the FIFA World Cup, was held in the United States from June 17 to July 17 1994 The United States of America —commonly referred to as the In the tournament, Ireland defeated favourites Italy in their opening game 1-0 during the group phase, but eventually went out to Holland in the second round losing 2-0.
Charlton was awarded the freedom of the city of Dublin in 1994 by Lord Mayor Tomás Mac Giolla. Tomás Mac Giolla (born 25 January 1924 is an Irish politician
Ireland failed to qualify for Euro 96 despite a strong start to the group when they won their opening 3 games. The 1996 UEFA European Football Championship ( Euro 96) was hosted by England. Ireland then stuttered badly drawing at home to Northern Ireland 1-1 (Ireland had won the match in Belfast 4-0 only 3 months earlier) and although they beat the highly fancied Portuguese the Irish then endured an embarrassing 0-0 draw at Liechsentein before losing twice to Austria. Although they defeated Latvia, Ireland needed to beat Portugal in Lisbon to qualify outright but lost 3-0. In an emotionally charged play off at Anfield against Holland, Ireland lost 2-0.
Charlton resigned shortly after the game. His involvement in the game since has been restricted (by his own choice) to punditry and speaking.
He remains an extremely popular and welcomed person in Ireland to this day.
