You may have noticed there’s a very important football match this week. It’s also the week that marks the 40th anniversary of when Jack Charlton first took the reins as Republic of Ireland manager.

On this episode, we look at how he transformed not just our football team, but how Ireland itself was dragged out of the mire under his watch.
