[@icemanire5467]

He'll never forgotten. He might be an English World Cup hero but he'll always be an Irish legend. Rest in Peace big Jack.

30 years later and Italia 90 is still talked about with vivid memories the sessions that happened were the stuff of legends

[@EnforcerX71]

That and beating a superstar filled Italy team at USA '94.

[@barryb90]

@@EnforcerX71 It's crazy that they beat the team that lost out on penalties in the final. That and the heat completely knackered them for the rest of the tournament though

[@sominboy2757]

What Jack did not only for the irish national team but the country itsself is incredible. He gave Ireland something to grasp onto and put faith in when they needed it. Euro 88 pretty much kicked off the Celtic Tiger and with it modern Ireland itsself. 24 years of growth in 10 percent a year, going from one of the lowest average salaries in the EU to top 5 in the world, 3 straight wins in Eurovision including Riverdance and the crowning achievement: the Good Friday Agreement. Im an American With a broken country at a internal civil war. We need a guy like Jack for our football team. It wouldnt fix all of our problems but it sure would help.

[@travisb1o0m19]

I wish i could be on the jack charlton traim but the style of football was shocking and we had the players to play much much better but just because i dont like the style doesnt take away from what he did for us.

[@danielmurphy8262]

And despite Jack’s great work, domestic football in Ireland has continued to be neglected and mistreated while those who run the FAI lined their own pockets.

[@icemanire5467]

The consequences caught up with us too.

[@kevinshannon8188]

It is the reason the national team is in so much of a dire state, imagine how many players who would have had potential to play for the national team went unnoticed by scouts.

[@danielmurphy8262]

@@kevinshannon8188 That’s true, but the other main fault was relying on players in English academies rather than building from the bottom up domestically. Hopefully going foward the LOI and grassroots become the bedrock of Irish football. There is no other way.

[@davidpryle3935]

Yeah, domestic football in Ireland has continued to be neglected …… by the (majority of) Irish people.

I was only 6 during Italia 90. I wish I had been a bit older to remember it better because it was probably the most amazingly fun time to ever have been in Ireland. As legendary columnist Con Houlihan once said. "Italia 90? I missed it....I was in Italy at the time."

[@paulgorman3001]

I was 6 in 90 too, I think I feel the same about 1990 too, the country was ALIVE because of the world cup fuckin great it was

The stories of Ireland from the 90s are amazing, I wish one day I can experience something like that as fellow young Irish man.

[@LeMerch]

Very well put together. Shows you what the English and Irish can do when we come together. As an Irishman I have a love of Jack that brings me tears as it was a great time for our country. Reminds me of my father and a lot of good memories with family at the time. He really loved Ireland.

Just watched the documentary. Could not recommend it more. What a brilliant man!!

[@chrisodriscoll3077]

Memories came flooding back watching this. I can vividly recall after beating Romania the whole street came out and had a kick about. Dads, sons, brothers all had an impromptu pass around up and down the street. In the best possible way the whole country lost the plot. In many ways it was the spark that lit the economic fire that engulfed the country not soon after. We dared to dream after Italia 90. Thanks Big Jack.

[@user-uh9ut7uu9c]

What a man Jack Charlton was. This documentary will definitely make you cry. Loved the scene where David o Leary is taking the penalty and a cover of the wild rover is playing.

[@Chasing100]

Charlton had such an effect on Ireland that the phrase "the craic was 90" meaning something was fun and exciting is used every day, referring to the 1990 World Cup

[@Bmv20th]

Great years. Amazing to live through, definitely an incredibly positive period.

Jack gave people a boost. Put a spring in their step. The economic improvements were based on political decisions not football success. It was a nice experience, before the Celtic Tiger ruined things, some Irish people became arrogant, flush with cash, those who had it had a lot more. The mess Ireland is in now (homelessness, crisis in health, housing, transport, corruption, a tax haven economy, terrible treatment of women and refugees, the emergence of a fascist right) were seeded in the boom years. The memories will be cherished. The FAI however should be abolished - a rotten organisation.

[@PresidentSquigglyMiggly]

You're chatting absolute shite 😂 from a member of what you probably regard as the "fascist right"

[@xavierfranzoia6633]

But they hired Jackie, I'm puzzled. He should have taken Brady to the WC for David Kelly, played Stapleton or Slaven who was a scoring machine and saved Boro from demotion scored like 70% of their goals that season. More Whelan and Hughton for Morris. The rest was OK but I think O Leary deserved a place for McCarthy in my opinion,

[@AdamM7796]

[@aaronsmith299]

Jack was a lurcher man and that means he was alright.

[@dairebeare7839]

It’s pretty hard to explain to people outside of Ireland just what Jackie meant to Ireland, and Tifo did a great job here. One of only a handful of foreigners given full Irish citizenship for his contributions to this country. There’s probably a younger generation of Irish kids who grew up hearing the legendary stories of Italia 90 and never even realised Charlton wasn’t Irish, that’s how beloved he was here.

[@malachymccloskey7839]

Great video as usual. 1 little thing u never said. He showed the nation that England was no longer our suppearer

Thanks TIFO. I hope you have a look at the United Ireland team North & South (Shamrock Rovers XI) that faced Brazil in a charity game. Organized by Derrick Dougan. Quite a good story and sad as the IFA ended Dougan's international career over it. PS. I just ordered the Doc.

Ireland in 1990 was a place in need of a lift. I was born in 95 but you can see the emotion when people who there talk about it. Every small town has a few older lads who drank a beer with him. My rural town has less than 500 people and theres a picture in the local of the landlord his mates and Jack. A man who understood our nation and brought us something to be happy about in very bleak times.

We know this team should be doing better, I wonder what this man can do with them; Let’s see.
