Once a Lion always a Lion. Sleep easy big man.

Very well regarded over here too. He was capped for RoI 40 times and also captained the team for half of those. Born in Cork but moved to London as a child - a member of the great London Irish family.

A few years before my time as well, but heard many good things about him.
R.I.P Charlie.

My late dad told me he was absolutely brilliant. I didn't know he was voted as our best player ever by The Lion Roars. He was also voted as Sunderland's player of the century.

As a manager he signed Robin Friday, the subject of one of the best books about football I have ever read.

Rest In Peace Charlie.

Great and moving interview. He. should get a good send off from the Sunderland fans

 

[obeney]

the greatest centre half we have had. May he Rest in Peace. Came out of Rainham (Essex) played for The Army whilst doing his national Services.q

I’m an oldie but he was before my time, when I heard the news I knew his name, that says it all RIP

The Lions will be wearing black armbands throughout Saturday's game as a mark of respect to honour the passing of Charlie Hurley.
