In the same bracket as Jimmy Greaves, Alan Ball, Bobby Moore and I would say Sir Geoff Hurst. Is he still alive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted 11 July, 2020 Share Posted 11 July, 2020 Sad news - Big Jack was one of the iconic football figures as I got into it in the 60's/70's. Although revered for his heroics with England I couldn't really take to him as a player at club level, playing for the niggly 'Dirty Leeds' team of that era (the 7-0 didn't help either) but two recollections of him at The Dell stand out. First was Channon gliding past him with ease in about 1972 (when Leeds were at their prime,)leaving 'Big Jack' sprawled on his arse, whole crowd roared, final proof -if needed - that Channon was a special talent. No one did that to the likes of 'Big Jack'. ' Secondly was his last league game for Leeds, April 1973, although I was still young I was struck by the warm applause he received from the Saints fans when he went off injured, it drove home that we were saying goodbye to one of the great figures of the game.
