Not many players these days would get a picture on every national paper the day after they died.

Newspaper headlines: Coronavirus 'hotspots' and tributes to football 'legend'

The papers remember Jack Charlton and areas most at risk of local lockdowns in England are revealed.

Or even when did John become Jackie and then become Jack

He'll always be Jackie Charlton to me. I'll never forget when Chelsea beat Leeds 2-1 in the replayed 1970
FA Cup Final. A story came out shortly after that he had a little black book with a few names in that if he ever played against them again he was "going to have 'em."
I'd love to know which players were mentioned in it, but I bet Peter Osgood was first named for a nudge in the back which led to Jackie Charlton heading the ball on for David Webb to score the winner.
️ RIP Jackie. You can renew your career and rivalry up there with Ray Charnley and John Craven, who both scored against you down here at Bloomfield Road.️

Yep sad news. Very straight talking guy and that was down to his passion. Much preferred his character to that of his brother.
RIP.
