The late Jack Charlton is being honoured by the British and Irish postal services for his distinguished career as a player and manager. The central defender, who won the 1966 World Cup with England before transforming Ireland from international also-rans to 1990 World Cup quarter-finalists, died earlier this month aged 85. Charlton's funeral is due to take place on Tuesday, days after Leeds United, where he spent his whole playing career, returned to the Premier League after 16 years outside the English top-flight.
