Tyne Tees Jack Charlton

A statue of World Cup winning legend Jack Charlton has been unveiled at the park where he once played as a boy.

Following Jack’s death in July 2020, at the age of 85, an appeal was started to have the statue installed at Hirst Park, where he was scouted playing football.

The life of footballing hero Jack Charlton will be commemorated by a special postmark applied to mail sent in England and Ireland.
