The legendary Republic of Ireland manager Jack Charlton has died at the age of 85.

The former Leeds and England defender who won a World Cup winner's medal in 1966 had been diagnosed with lymphoma in the last year and was also battling dementia.

Ireland reached the knock-out stages of both World Cups and reached the quarter-finals in 1990, only to lose out by the narrowest of margins, as the hosts denied them a place in the semi-finals with a 1-0 victory in Rome.
