Summary
The final part in The Jack Charlton Story - as told through the eyes of George Hamilton who was there through the entire journey. George and Connor take up the story now from Italia 90. How the nation took to Jack Charlton and how the performances on the pitch were improving. 'The Nation Holds its Breath' and big Jack just took it in his stride. From an audience with The Pope to sitting down in the Irish team hotel watching VHS footage of the entire country of Ireland in full paty mood. George recalls Euro '92 was 'the one that got away' but it set them up so well for what was to come in USA '94. Jack Charlton's stock was already high but Ray Houghton finding the back of the net in Giants Stadium took it to a whole new level. We also found out how Jack was able to take a stand for his players as shown in the touch-line incident with John Aldridge against Mexico. The lads talk about his time as Ireland manager coming to an end also meant his retirement from management. They talk about the legacy he left, the memories he created and the way he made a nation believe. What a man. Thanks Jack. Contact / Sponsorship: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
