VIDEO: See the beautiful tribute to Jack Charlton at the Aviva again

Sunday's match between Ireland and England at the Aviva stadium was not exactly a memorable affair - except for one wonderful moment.

Before kick-off, legendary figure in Irish football, Jack Charlton, took to the field - to a rousing chorus of the World Cup anthem of his 1990 campaign, Jackie's Army (or Put 'em under pressure).

The FAI have now uploaded the full clip, and it's a thing of beauty as the veteran gentleman of Irish soccer can't help but wipe a tear away at the reception he received.

"Irish football will forever be grateful to Big Jack and it was an honour to have him back for the England game along with his wife Pat," the FAI wrote on the post.

On a day of lacklustre football, in a week where the FAI is under intense scrutiny, it was a fantastic moment. It obviously meant something to Big Jack, too.

Well, it's stuck in our head now, so here's the classic original.
