As a Leeds and Northern Ireland fan I have to admit as a kid I switched allegiance to the Republic in the summers of 1990 and 94. What a time for Irish football. Leeds, England and Ireland legend. Working class hero of the North East, adopted son of Yorkshire. What a man and what a life, rip Jackie. Sad sad day

I was 11 in 1990 glad now that I can look back and remember it. Even though at the time I couldn’t watch the games the tension was too much. But the absolute joy when the results went our way. Unbelievable feeling. What a time. Hopefully some day those days can be replicated. The country was never so united as it was in the summer of 1990.

The reason ? I don't really know, but you could see he was special.

He came at a time when we all woke up in the morning to the news of another senseless murder in the north. The message we sent by appointing an Englishman as the manager of our team was on thing, the things he did with this team will be hard to beat. He was a World Cup winner for England and was proud of that, I think he was just as proud about what he did for Ireland and will be forever Irish in all the hearts of Irish men and women who knew his name

I wasn’t born at that time,not in 1988,1990,but in 1992.I wouldn’t remember that time and the games we played. My mum is from Ireland,my mum’s family are from Ireland as well,they told me about good stories,how Jack played,how he wanted to achieve in the game,I was so looking forward to meet him for real, I’ve never ever met him,I’m sure you all you would like to meet Jack,I watched a documentary this year on KZfaq,I loved the stories,it Fascinated not just for me, but for us all as fans.When we play our first ever competition for the international games, we’ll make Jack proud. Can I say I’d like to say thank you to Jack for all the memories,this football will be down in the history. Thanks a million mum and my family too, I’ll forget,the way you taught me,the way you told me.Gone,but not forgotten. R.I.P Jack!🇮🇪☘️
