We are interrupting our regular programming to bring a special episode remembering the late Jack Charlton.
We’ve spoken with two journalists who covered the Charlton Years extensively - RTÉ commentator George Hamilton and Phillip Quinn, Chief Football Writer at the Irish Daily Mail.
The Irish management team mixed a lot more closely with the media in Charlton’s time, so George and Phillip have a treasure trove of memories and stories to excavate. (Jack once told Pavarotti to pipe down ahead of the quarter-final!)
We also discuss what made him successful, his mistakes, whether the job changed him, and above all his legacy.
We hope you enjoy it.
Reminder to get in touch with us - email behindthelines@the42.ie, or tweet Gavin here: @gcooney93.
