You did what Jack said.. Bob was gentler, two sides of the same coin

THE last surviving Charlton brother has shared his precious memories of the footballing family, a year on from the death of Sir Bobby.

Tommy Charlton, 78, says England legends Bobby and Jack were different in character but like two sides of the same coin.

He told the Mirror: "You did what Jack said. I always looked up to him and respected him. But you could talk to Bob, there was that gentler side, if you like."

Tommy, who played walking football for England, says people still ask him about his 1966 World Cup-winning brothers.

He said: "It's remarkable really.

It's 51 years since they stopped playing. But there are so many memories and they are precious."
