Quite comfortably the most underrated player of all time. Never been another like him.

If the Italians respect you as a footballer, that means you're class.

When I look at today's so called star footballer's, I think of John Charles, and smile. None of them hold a candle to the great man. He was without doubt the best player to ever grace a football field.

@@shaka7594 Well, people in the know would disagree with you, but it's all a matter of opinion. Charles would be the first name on my team sheet, and the four you mention would also get a game.

Fancy it getting to such a state that good ole establishment britain were poised to jail such a gentle , kind , HONEST , polite , courteous , GENTLEman like Mr.Charles. Well played Silver of Mighty Leeds. My dad hated soccer. Rugby I had to play. We even moved from Mumbles to Llanelli. A HUGE rugby town. But even my dad would say " Great player. He's no soccer player. Should be playing rugby with a frame like and skill like that" I reckon he was right too. Mr.Charles would of made a world class inside centre.

Thank you for downloading. When it's said that he was the best ever, I wouldn't argue.

I saw the great man playing for Leeds against Portsmouth at Fratton Park in 1957 when I was a lad and I have never seen a player so dominant in a game since. He was playing centre forward and he just tore the Pompey defence apart in their 2 - 5 victory. Wonderful.

I was too young to remember the great man initially, but was present at his return to Leeds. Though things didn't seem to work out, for me, a 15 year old, I still rated Big John as a fantastic player. Evan today, I still miss him

5:38 against Hungary was a group 3 playoff to go to the Quarter Finals because they were level on points. 6:07 It was the Quarter Finals that Wales lost against Brazil, not the semis as the narrator stated.
