A great character from the 'good old days'. Very sad.
Condolences to family and friends.
Many people will have forgotten or not realise that he managed Sheffield Wednesday.
Nevertheless a sad loss and a wonderful player in his day

In fact Jackie was the Manager when Joe McBride scored one of our most iconic goals
Just spent 40 minutes listening to his views on football and life, recorded around 1996 I think. Worth listening to if you have the time.

Over the years I have grown to like him but my personal abiding memory is in the FA Cup when after a 0:0 at Millmoor we went to Elland Road and were 2:1 up when JC comitted the most outrageous foul on our defender to get them back in the game and we lost 3:2. I believe however justice was done in the next round when Colchester dumped them out.
RIP Jack, a proper character for sure. Can you imagine him in today's game lol. Alan Knill always reminded me of him in his playing days.
His brother Tom is urging the government to award Jack a posthumous knighthood. Although I am no great fan of our honours system it is disgraceful that all our 1966 cup winners have not received this honour when you think how they throw knighthoods about like confetti these days.
