Paul McGrath said he was “so proud” after the touching moment in Finding Jack Charlton where his old boss smiled after recognising him in a video.
Writing in his Sunday World column, McGrath described how it felt watching Charlton recognise him despite the fact he was suffering with dementia.
He said: “I would like to thank all the people who got in touch to say how much they enjoyed my contribution to the Jack Charlton documentary.
“I really enjoyed my modest part in the making of it, and fair dues to my old Ireland captain Andy Townsend for all the work he put into it.”
