LEEDS United were today cast into mourning after the death of club legend John Charles. He was aged 72.

The man who, was regarded as one of Leeds and Wales' greatest players, was hailed too as one of the best ever British exports to play in Italy where he was dubbed the 'Gentle Giant' by Turin giants Juventus. He had been ill for some months.
