21st July! We still remember...

[Johnfwake]

William John Charles, CBE (27 December 1931 21 February 2004),

THIS DAY IS THE 6th ANNIVERSARY OF HIS DEATH. R.I.P.

I proudly wrote the german wikipedia article about him....so what do i need to say more?

A true legend and a very charismatic figure.

As a man even bigger as the formidable player he was.

By the way, really nice video mate!

Grazie per tutto mitico John, non ti dimentichero mai.

Thank you. I knew John when he set up a sports business in Rhiwbina, Cardiff, Wales just after he retired from football. He was simply to nice a man to be ruthless in business. I again met and drove John towards the end of his life on two occasions. I was nobody yet he made me feel like somebody. A real gentleman who made a great impression on me and on all who met him.

Thank you very much for pointing that out. To late to change. Hope you enjoyed the song. I met John Charles on many occasions. He simply was the 'gentlest'and most unassuming man surely to have ever played sport. JFW

Giampiero Boniperti, the most famous Juventus's president, that played i n the eand of '50 with J.Charles said about him: "The best foreign player in Juventus history..."

Thanks J.Charles!

For ever!

@applebeatle thats what i am saying people judge duncan on what they saw.,

[TheLegendfamily]

@AJSLUFC: There used to be an uploaded vid here on YouTube w/Charles singing "16 Tons".

@thetoon99

Maybe so..but unfortunately he never got the chance to fulfil his potential...John Charles did..with Leeds , Juventus and Wales...you can only base an opinion on what you have seen...not what might have been.
