Sad news - RIP Jack
It's often overlooked his achievements managing Eire. Took them to Euro 88 and beat England in the group stages. Then in 1990 his side reached the world cup 1/4 finals and they also qualified for the 1994 world cup in America. I remember them beating Italy in the first game in New York.
Old school and his long ball tactics as a manager served him well although they did become out dated by the mid 90s. Tha can't tek away what he achieved in the game though.
He said he loved living in our town. A remember seeing him in Red Lion but I were only a nipper. Sad day RIP
Was a tribute to him this morning on Good Morning Britain
Jacks granddaughter & Mick McCarthy were both brilliant
