He was almost 30 when he made his England debut, but the late developer turned good at just the right time, and was one of the Wembley heroes on that famous day in 1966. Outside football, Charlton loved his country pursuits and was a keen fisherman. He remained a hugely popular figure in his retirement, with many fans sharing stories of how he always had time for them when he was out and about in his beloved North East.

Leeds United fan Kevin Coe, 51, and his son Ellis, six, were on the route of the funeral procession. Referring to a 1971 documentary showing Jack Charltons home life in Ashington, Mr Coe said: He just seems to have been a regular guy. He was still going out to the clubs, involved in whippet racing. It sums up this area.

Charlton had been diagnosed with lymphoma in the last year and was also battling dementia.

After his death, his family said in a statement: He was a thoroughly honest, kind, funny and genuine man who always had time for people. His loss will leave a huge hole in all our lives but we are thankful for a lifetime of happy memories. A private family service was held in Newcastle with a limited number of mourners due to the Covid-19 restrictions.
