Jack Charlton loved his home town of Ashington and townsfolk loved Jack so much that they had a statue erected to him that overlooks the field where he played as a boy, the school he attended and beyond it, the street where he was raised with his three brothers. The statue was unveiled in Hirst Park by Jack's wife Pat, On October 29, 2022. Pat told the hundreds who gathered in the rain that in his career Jack had played away a lot in his career and added, "But now he is back home."
The sculptor, Douglas Jennings, based the statue on a photograph of Jack smiling as he watched children playing a game of football.
