After a persistent Italian interlude, our heading back to talk of samples from abroad, and although many in Italy love and appreciate John Charles, was the greatest Welsh player of all time and brought on his shoulders as his nation throughout his career. I made the appointment a special Golden Player for Wales, and also the place in the English Football Hall Of Fame, over the various leagues and cups won around Europe, but above all that made him special in his long career he was never warned them ejected, that is why they also earned the nickname "gentle giant".
John Charles was born in Swansea and joined Leeds United at the age of 17 years. That team scored 150 goals in eight years, including 42 in the 1953-54 season. In 1957, Gigi Peronace, oversaw the purchase and move to Italian side Juventus for the then record sum of 65,000 pounds. In his five years at Juventus scored 93 goals in 155 games, winning the championship three times, and two Italian Cup, and winning the top scorer in 1958.
After the period at Juventus, he returned to Leeds United and also played for Rome, ending his playing career at Cardiff City. He later became coach dell'Hereford and Merthyr Tydfil, and technical director of the Canadian team, Hamilton Steelers. He said he
Mark Hughes (Wales coach):
"The greatest player who ever wore the shirt of Wales. 'And he said to him
David Collins (Welsh Federation):
"Charles was a perfect ambassador for Wales and a great sport like football. "
John Charles made his debut in the Welsh National shortly after at least eighteen years, and was the heart of the team, which led to the quarterfinals in the World Championship in 1958 (the only appearance of the national the World Cup), but was defeated 1-0, in a game that did not play due to injury, the team who later won the tournament, Brazil (with a goal of the emerging Pelé).
Despite the mild character that distinguishes the Welsh, one of the images that is remembered is that the historic slap all'intemperante Omar Sivori, then team-mate, along with Boniperti in Juventus.
In January 2004 he suffered a heart attack before an interview for Italian television, which required the partial amputation of a foot to circulatory problems. He died in February of that year, in Wakefield.
A model for every generation that comes close in football, humble, gentle, true champion, he did fall in love with the sport thousands of supporters of Juventus and Leeds, every team that has had next to remember him the very essence of a person born for football and to convey confidence.
