Ask any Welsh Football Fan who is the greatest Welshman to represent their nation and there is very high chance that they reply simply and quickly with the name ‘John Charles’. Charles stood at 6 feet 2 inches but was able to combine tremendous levels of skill and game awareness to his strong, athletic frame. What sets Charles apart from other great Welsh players (Giggs, Rush, Hughes, Southall) is one very important fact, he excelled at a World Cup Finals. You could also argue a case that he is the only welsh player to have made a significant success of a career on European mainland. Charles was nicknamed “The Gentle Giant” as despite his height and strength he maintained that football should not involve purposely hurting opponents. He was never sent off or cautioned during his career.
John Charles (christened William John Charles) was born in the surrounding area of Swansea on December 27th 1931. His formative years were spent with his brother Mel Charles. The brothers began playing football in the streets and with local amateur teams, both would progress to become full Wales internationals. Charles was scouted by Leeds United at a young age while playing for a local non-professional team. His league debut came in 1949 against Blackburn Rovers at centre half, in this position he would play for his first three seasons before being converted to his more natural position, as a central striker. At Leeds United Charles scored 150 goals in eight seasons, a highly impressive feat given the large percentage of those games that he featured at centre half. In the 1953-4 season Charles demonstrated just why striker was his most productive position on the pitch with a colossal 42 goals.
John Charles took the brave step in 1957 of testing his game in the challenging Italian league. It cost Juventus £65,000 to acquire his services. Following John Fox who had earlier moved to Real Madrid in Spain, Charles became the second British professional to have ever transferred to a foreign club. The Italian League has notably been a graveyard for British players ever since, and it is this that puts into some perspective the success that Charles enjoyed in Turin. Over 5 seasons he player 155 matches and scored 93 goals, he played a significant role in Juventus winning the Italian Championship three times over his five year tenure (1958, 1960 & 1961) they also scooped two Italian cups (1959 & 1960). This success was duly recognised by Italian football fans when he was voted their greatest ever non-Italian player, some accolade considering the players to have performed in Italy such as Maradona, Platini and van Basten. Charles is still referred to in Italy by his affectionate nickname “The Gentle Giant”
John Charles was a proud represent of Wales, the country of his birth. His debut came at the tender age of eighteen, unfortunatley for Welsh football he would make only 38 appearances (scoring 15goals) due to a lesser International calender during that era. John’s greatest moments with the International team came when he was the Welsh talisman at the 1958 Wrodl Cup Finals. Charles starred in this tournament and led Wales to the quarter finals where they would succum to a sole Brazil goal scored by the great Pele. Charles missed this crucial match through injury and mnay observers still maintain that had Charles played the outcome of the match, and indeed the entire tournament may have been different, sadly we will never know.
Ineviatble John Charles eventually retired from footbal and followed in the tradition of mnay footballers of his era in becoming a pub landlord (The New Inn, situated next to Leeds’ Elland Road stadium). Charles maintained a season ticket at his beloved Leeds United and was honoured with the West Stand of the Stadium being renamed “The John Charles Stand”. Close to the stadium is also a road named “John Charles Way” as a tribute to the great man. Welsh football was also keen to pay tribute to their hero as he became a vice-president of the Football Association of Wales.
John Charles sadly passed away on February 21st 2004 in a Leeds hospital following a heart attack a few weeks earlier. While “The Gentle Giant” has left us he will be fondly remembered by football fans from Wales, Leeds and Turin.

Alternative Options for Treating Allergic Rhinitis
by: Stacey M Kerr MD
Here in northern California, allergies are a significant health problem leading to fatigue, sick days from work and school, and secondary infections. Allergic rhinitis is a reaction to seasonal airborne allergens. It affects about 7 percent of the population of North America and is a risk factor for 88 percent of asthma patients. We have some excellent prescription medications for treating this, and there are many over-the-counter medications available also. However, BEWARE of the sedating effects of those nonprescription medications!!! Recent studies have shown that an individual on a therapeutic dose of diphenhydramine (Benedryl) is a more dangerous driver than one who is legally drunk on alcohol.
Fortunately, there are also some effective alternative therapies for allergic rhinitis.
Remember: no matter what method you use to treat your allergies, nasal rinsing to clear the mucus membranes of trapped allergens is essential. It only takes about 30 seconds, doesn't hurt a bit when done correctly, and makes all the difference. I recommend Nasopure®, a product developed by Dr. Hana Solomon, a pediatrician who has put together in one simple kit all you need for successful nasal rinsing. There is an excellent article about this on the Nasopure website (www.nasopure.com). If you are regularly using your Nasopure®, and still having difficulties, you can try some of the following remedies without significant side effects.
Vitamin and mineral supplements:
* Vitamin A - 10,000 IU/day
* Vitamin B6 - 50-100 mg/day
* Vitamin B5 - 50-75 mg/day
* Vitamin C - 1,000 mg/day in 3 divided doses
* Vitamin E - 400 IU/day
* Zinc - 20-30 mg/day
In addition some herbs and nutrients can help:
Quercetin has anti-allergy and anti-inflammatory effects if you take it 250mg two or three times a day.
Freeze-dried stinging nettles (Urtica dioica) can relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis at a dosage of 300mg twice a day.
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), also called fish oil, can help asthma patients with allergies by stabilizing the airways. They come in capsules and the total dose of the combination should be 2-4 g/day.
Acupuncture has given many patients significant relief. The Chinese medicine paradigm is very different than Western medicine, so I can not explain the mechanism of action. But I know that it is effective!
See your doctor about allergy symptoms if you are unable to manage them on your own - the nonsedating antihistamines and anti-inflammatory nasal sprays available today are excellent in treating this significant health problem!
