Ireland fans can pay respects to Jack Charlton in virtual book of condolences

Ireland fans can pay their respects to Jack Charlton in a virtual book of condolences that has been opened today.

The FAI have released a link at fai.ie/jack-charlton-rip for supporters to express their sympathies to the Charlton family.

Known affectionately as 'Big Jack', the legendary former Republic of Ireland boss died on Friday at the age of 85.

The book of condolences will remain live until Monday, July 27 when the FAI will share all of the messages with the World Cup winner's family.

FAI President Gerry McAnaney said: “The national outpouring of grief since Jack’s death was announced on Saturday morning has been phenomenal and reflective of the esteem in which Jack was held here in Ireland.

"We are offering Ireland fans the opportunity to extend their sympathies to Jack’s family online and to show the family just how much Jack meant to all of us here in Ireland.”
