Charles, John

    0.01 sec.

Charles, (William) John (1931–2004)

Welsh footballer. The first British player to achieve fame in club football abroad, he scored 93 goals in 155 appearances for Juventus 1957–62, and gained three Italian championship and two Italian cup winner's medals. A tall, broadly-built striker, renowned for his heading ability, his sense of sportsmanship earned him the nickname the ‘Gentle Giant’. He had made his Football League debut for Leeds United in 1949 at the age of 17. Switching from centre-half to centre-forward in 1951 he became a prolific goal scorer, and his 42 goals for Leeds in the second division in the 1953–54 season is still a club record. He won 38 Welsh caps between 1950 and 1965, scoring 15 goals.
