LEYTONSTONE is probably not one of the first places you would expect to find a World Cup-winning footballer after celebrating success in the final.

But that's what happened in 1966 when England defender Jack Charlton ended up in E11 following the 4-2 win over West Germany at Wembley.

A book, Jack and Bobby by Leo McKinstry, describes how Charlton left the official celebrations for a night's revelry in London.

Along with a friend, Jimmy Mossop, Charlton caught a taxi to the Astor club in the West End.

"The whole place was one big party," Charlton recalled. "I got so drunk I don't remember much about it after that except that Jimmy and I woke up in some house in Leytonstone, on the floor and settee.

"The house belonged to a lad called Lenny and his wife. The next morning I went down to the garden and a woman popped her head over the wall and said 'Hello Jackie'.

"I could not believe it. It was one our neighbours from Ashington (Charlton's hometown in County Durham) - Mrs Mather.

"She was visiting relatives who lived next door. 'How are you going Jackie?' she asked a little suspiciously.

"I think she was wondering what I was doing in a house in Leytonstone."

In the book McKinstry tells the story of Charlton and his footballing brother Bobby who both played for England in the 1966 final and enjoyed successful careers with Leeds and Manchester Untied respectively.

After his playing career ended Jack Charlton had spells as a manager with Middlesbrough, Sheffield Wednesday, Newcastle and the Republic of Ireland.

Bobby, now Sir Bobby, is a Manchester United director and ambassador for the game.

He has also organised football coaching competitions for youngsters, one of which was won by a young David Beckham when he was a Waltham Forest schoolboy.
