RIP Jack.  I liked his directness - and will never forget him and John Aldridge having a right go at the pedantic touchline officials in Mexico 1994 World Cup.  I think Ireland were trying to get Aldridge on as a sub, and the officials were being "sluggish" with their clipboards, numbers boards etc, and delayed it for ages.  Aldridge had to be held back from sorting one official out, then Jack had a word as well.  I think his FIFA fine was paid for by supporters, who loved him.  Always called it as he saw it.

I know he was a very good player in Revie's Leeds, Leeds, Leeds team (a great footballing team), as well as a successful manager at Boro and with Eire, but he will be remembered by most of us for being our centre half in 1966 who helped us to win the World Cup. One of Sir Alf's boys. A moment that we'll never forget and I imagine it will be a very long time before we see the likes of them again.

Jack was a master of the one line responses. My personal favourite was after the 66 quarter final against Argentina, when Rattin refused to leave the field after being sent off. Apparently, the incensed Argies were banging on the English dressing room door after the match. I cant recall which player said, in a concerned tone of voice, that they were trying to get in to fight, Jack said "Let em' in"
