"Finding Jack Charlton" is the definitive portrait of an extraordinary man; an English World Cup winning legend, who became an Irish hero. Directed by Gabriel Clarke (Bobby Robson: More Than A Manager; Steve McQueen: The Man and Le Mans) and Pete Thomas (Take His Legs), and shot on location in Ireland and England, the film also details Jack's previously undocumented life with dementia. The documentary features key characters from throughout Jack's career, including major figures in football, music, film, politics, and, for the first time, Jack's family.

Jack Charlton - Finding Jack Charlton review by CW
Absorbing and moving study of a football hero's career, Irish nationalism and Jack's decline with dementia. Jack is probably best known for his playing career with Leeds and England but the film focuses more on his time as the Republic of Ireland's manager and his relationship with the Irish people. There is not much football action in this film. However, it is a wonderful character study of someone who was basically "a great bloke", loved and revered by many people.
