Leeds United Chat • Re: Jack Charlton
The article is on Leeds United's official site, a fascinating read indeed David. Unsure when the interview took place, like you I was led to believe that Big Jack was suffering with dementia.That was a lovely read 1964. Can you tell me when the interview was. please? I guess it must have been a while ago, as the reports I had heard were that Jack was a dementia sufferer. He was in the team when I started following Leeds as a 13 year old. I've said it before, but that was a wonderful team. So gifted. I like how Jack counters the accusation that the team might not have been as successful today, with this: "People ask me if our Leeds team would survive in the game today. Of course they would. They'd adapt to the way the game is now as we adapted to the way the game was then".
Us oldies can count ourselves very lucky to have witnessed that wonderful team which captivated an audience that stayed with them forever, without Revie Leeds United wouldn't be the same force today
