Jack Charlton Quotations

Nineteen years old, your first trip, do you have any idea how long we have been waiting?

He is a guy that will talk to people,

I think if all the best players - and we all know who they are - play we will expect and get good performances from them.

We never had a huge squad and we never had a great deal of choice. But in many ways that helps because you've got to make do with what you've got. You don't have too many problems about picking the team you just hope that everyone turns up on the day.

Eusebio was a truly great player, strong, beautifully balanced, and very quick, as good as Pele in my view and an exciting player to watch.

It was no good marking Foggy because once he started to run you had to stay with him and not many people could.

The Irish job was something that had to be sorted out.

If in winning we only draw we would be fine.

We probably got on better with the likes of Holland, Belgium, Norway and Sweden, some of whom are not even European.

I'm always suspicious of games where you're the only ones that play it.

I've seen them on television on a Sunday morning most days of the week.

It was a game we should have won. We lost it because we thought we were going to win it. But then again, I thought that there was no way we were going to get a result there.

Soccer is a man's game, not an outing for mamby-pambies.

Nothing is given to you. You've got to work for it.
