Charlton, the elder brother of Bobby, played 35 times for England as a central defender, including all six matches at the 1966 World Cup. He spent his whole playing career at Leeds United and after retiring as a player became a successful manager. He started with Middlesbrough, but is arguably best remembered as a manager for his work with the Republic of Ireland.
