Gave us amazing times. His achievements have sometimes been diminished by the Captain Hindsight brigade but what he did with Ireland was unbelievable.

He gave me memories and a love of football that will last for the whole of my life.

RIP.

He played a big part in dragging Irish football out of the doldrums. He lifted the spirits of the nation. As a child I watched some great moments in Irish football because of Jack Charlton. Thank you and God bless you. R.I.P.

Poor Uncle Tom

RIP

He will always be part of the fabric of 90's Ireland.....

A legend. Few Englishmen made their way into the hearts of the Irish like Jack did and many glasses will be raised in his honour.

To quote the man himself, “Can we go now please? I’d like a beer.”

BBC says that hes dies at 85, meaning that he was 55 at Italia 90! Surely this is wrong?

RIP Jack. I think you have to be of a certain age to understand the impact and importance that man had on the well-being of the nation

Lifted the spirits of a Nation and the start of Ireland rising as an economic force and birth of our self belief.

Italia 90 was a fantastic time to be Irish for those of us who remember. I would say those times were the happiest of my life ( i had just started work) and I've shed a tear here this morning thinking of it all.

So much positivity and goodwill. Everywhere you went people were talking about Ireland in the world cup, men, women, children of every age. For a brief time during that Summer, some of us believed Ireland could actually win the World Cup and a nation held its breath.

Still get goosebumps when I hear the start of 'put em under pressure'.

May the road rise with you Big Man.

That's mad, I was just thinking about him the other day. Honestly I think the effect of his accomplishments go beyond football. Before his tenure there was a really defeatist attitude in Ireland. Qualifying for and progressing in the European and World cups was key in changing that. Hard to to believe if you weren't around at the time but that's how I remember it. RIP big lad.

Loved the rapturous reception he received at the Aviva in 2015.

You could see it meant a lot to him to be remembered so fondly.

Euro 88 & Italia 90 in particular were utterly magic times, that went way beyond football.

castletownman

Too young to remember any of this tenure bar when he left, but fully aware of his legacy. He is literally the dictionary definition of "honourary Irishman".

While the football wasn't easy on the eye in hindsight, he brought unbridled joy to an entire nation. Not many managers can lay claim to that.

Had a tear in my eye when the news broke on the way into work. Which says something considering his age and health problems and not being old enough to remember the glory days.

RIP big Jack
