Sir Bobby Charlton reckons that if John Charles were playing today, his transfer value would be 70 million; and in a poll of Italian football fans, they voted him the greatest foreign player ever to play in their league, ahead of Maradona and Platini. He was equally adept as a centre forward or a centre half and often Juventus would play him up front until he scored and then move him back into defence to protect the lead.;Whether playing for Leeds United, Wales or Juventus, he fully earned his nickname of "The Gentle Giant", never once being booked or sent off in a 15-year career, and always being the epitome of sportsmanship. "King John" recalls not just a vanished era of football, but also highlights what happens to our heroes once they have left the spotlight.
