Sit up and listen kids, this is how to be an A1 student at English

Outstanding interview, class!

J-WIl is a stone cold legend. J-Mol is good when he isn't fangirling Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods

You can choose your friends but not your family !

[@stephenholmes1036]

Very true, its the same with my family, i was always a Jack Charlton man from the age of 8..
Our eldest brother cannot be wrong he's a very arrogant and bitter. Its a terrible shame he's like that but thats life.

Not sure we need to know this! Many families have issues,( and i come from a large family& not everyone gets along!)so some things need to remain in house!..Not that it's intentional,but a book like this can end up besmirching their legacy!

I had a girlfriend who lived on the next street to Bobby Charlton in Lymm. He owned a modern four-bedroomed detached house on a residential street. Compared to the mansions that modern footballers own it was nothing special. I would not have said that he was particularly wealthy. If he was playing today he would be a very rich man.

Im a Jack man through and though from the age of 6.
Bob wasnt its a personal view.

[@BlueSkiesAbove39]

Any regrets?

[@mickcardiff3044]

Bobby must have been a toon supporter at one time..

[@helpmehelp3009]

You are a pratt, LEAVE the Charltons alone! Brothers always have tiffs, but Jack looked up to Bob and said he was the best player he had ever seen. Bob would never Diss Jack. They loved and at times hated each other, I miss them both.

More of this please OTB. And way way less of Mick McCarthy moaning about his inner torment while watching the World Cup. Thanks.

I think the lesson here.....and it's a common one.....is that family troubles are usually brought about when an uppity chick gets into the head of a man.
Jack was correctly loyal to his family. Bobby was swayed by his need to please a woman who wanted him for herself. His ensuing isolation from his family is not surprising.
Think Meghan Markle and Harry Windsor.
