Episode 18: The Jack Charlton Story Part 1

Almost every episode of the 'Its There!' Podcast has had a mention of the great Jack Charlton in some shape or form! So Connor Phillips has asked George Hamilton to to play the role of historian - mainly as he lived through it and 'rode that wave for almost a decade' (George's own words!) - into the life and times of the great man. In Part 1 we talk about Jacks early life, the type of player he was and how important he was to winning England a World Cup. We find out what type of manager he was and why international football management was always his destiny. Then there was the Ireland job. How did a man from Northumberland end up getting the Irish managers job in 1985 when the entire political landscape was very different? And did you know George Hamilton knew Jack was the new manager before Jack did?! It is all in this special episode of 'Its there!'.
