Not just a Leeds legend, but an England one too. Sleep tight big man. Somewhat bittersweet the last memory he would have had of Leeds was Thursday's majestic performance. Hope the lads can do it for him, Norman and Trevor. ♥

Talk sport commentator said he was always bewildered why JC was never knighted.

He came to my school (Normanton Grammar School in West Yorkshire) in 1963 and gave a very convincing talk about why we should try football - as opposed to the Rugby Union which was our school's choice of major sport - and I was impressed with his demeanor and obvious sincerity.

An absolute legend, for Leeds, England and Ireland what he did for each of those teams was massive, he transformed Irish football and mad the country fall in love with the Irish football team. World Cup winner, record Leeds cap holder what a man. RIP Big Jack you will be sorely missed

It was a repeat of a piece they did a few years ago where Jack visited the area where he grew up.
They re-showed it as a tribute to him.

Can you believe i had a post removed by the BBC for saying Jack was a true white legend in every sense. Ie meaning Leeds and England. Obviously someone who doesn't follow football has reported it. :?
