A TRAILER has been released for the upcoming documentary 'Finding Jack Charlton', and it looks brilliant.
'He conquered the world. He transformed a nation. Then he faced he greatest challenge,' reads the documentary's tagline - which recalls the life and career of Ireland's favourite foreigner.
Jack, who sadly passed away in July, won the world cup with England as a player, before settling into management and guiding Ireland to perhaps their most successful ever period on the international stage - at a time when Anglo-Irish relations were particularly strained.
But the documentary covers more than just football. It delves into Jack's previously undocumented battle with dementia.
It offers an intimate insight into the life of the former Ireland manager, and the challenges that he and his family faced.
