I'm English and I wasn't even born in 1966 but I loved watching the achievements of that Irish Republic team in the early 1990s. Great memories from my youth. RIP Jack.

Great message man, simply the best time to he an Irish fan, I was very young but Italia 90 was my first proper introduction to football... he took us from laughing stocks to World Cup quarter finalists... he will never be replaced as Ireland's greatest ever manager.

Assuming there will be a funeral in Northumberland and cameras are able to record the coffin being carried into the church, it would make for a very powerful image if his coffin were to be draped with the flags of both England and Ireland.

Dude it sounds great it really does, unfortunately there will be some people who would have a problem with this idea... I would love it if i'm honest, he was a proud Englishman and an honorary Irish man
