 Jack Charlton (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Charlton didn't seem to be cut out to be a footballer in his younger days, overshadowed completely by the skill of his younger brother Bobby, who was taken on by Manchester United while Jack was doing his National Service.
Charlton was not only in the squad, but was given the No.5 shirt for the tournament, a sure sign that, if fit, he'd be playing when England kicked off the competition with their first group game against Uruguay.
Charlton drifted into the distance to enjoy his pursuit of field sports - he was devoted to hunting, shooting and fishing - before a call came from the FAI to take on the job of managing the Republic of Ireland.

 Jack Charlton
Jack Charlton, born May 8, 1935 in Ashington[?], Northumberland, England was a professional footballer, spending his entire career at Leeds United F.C. (May 1, 1952 to May 16, 1973), for whom he scored 96 goals in 773 appearances.
Through a policy of employing simple tactics and finding players mainly in the English league who had an Irish-born parent or grandparent but hadn't considered themselves to be Irish, the Republic qualified for the World Cup finals in both 1990 and 1994, famously defeating Italy in 1994.
Following his retirement from management in 1994, Charlton can sometimes be found as a tv football pundit, though he also owns a pub in Dublin, and is Deputy Lord-Lieutenant of Northumbria.

 Soccernet.com Euro 2000 News: Big Jack gives his blessing to Mick's method
Charlton was once told by McCarthy that he wanted to adopt a whole new tactical format from the one which turned Ireland from serial under-achievers to international heavyweights.
Charlton admires McCarthy for doing the job his way and insisted his former employers should stick with the hard-edged, blunt-speaking Yorkshireman who may not possess the same gift of the blarney that made the 1966 English World Cupwinner a born-again Irishman but makes up for it in Barnsley grit.
Charlton, indeed, would more often be spotted standing in a river waiting for a salmon than taking in game after game during international fallow periods, as McCarthy does, almost obsessively.

Jack, on the other hand, spent much of his younger days with Leeds in the second division and did not make his debut for England until he was nearly thirty.
