I am 33 and from Scotland. My dad told me years ago, he said “Son, John Charles is the only player in history who was world class as a centre half and as a centre forward”. Its quite mad when you think of that now , a player who was world class in two completely different positions. Mr Charles must have been some player.

Really incredible that his last game was against Don Revie’s Sunderland, that’s some serious foreshadowing

I’m only 34 and I had the honour of meeting the great man twice. Obviously never got to see him play live though of course. But being Welsh & a Leeds fan has some benefits!

Haha, I met him once too when I was 10 years old. I had no idea who he was though. My dad had managed to get us into a box through someone he worked with. We had just played very badly against QPR and I complained to him about how bad Leeds were that day 🤦‍♂️

To this day John Charles is held in total reverence by the Juventus side of Turin, that handshake with Revie gave me goosebumps.

Thank you for this . I have been a Leeds fan most of my life and knew little of John Charles and why he left Leeds . Very informative thanks .

Best Leeds player ever

The greatest British player EVER. As Jack Charlton once said of John Charles, he was “literally half the team.”

Great informative video. I went to a lot of the home games in that era and remember one particular game when he shot from about 8 yards out and nearly broke the goalkeepers hand. Remember jack Charlton as well. Happy memories, still support them from New Zealand.
