William John Charles, CBE (27 December 1931 – 21 February 2004) was a Welsh international footballer who played for Leeds United and Juventus. Rated by many as the greatest all-round footballer ever to come from Britain, he was equally adept at centre-forward or centre-back. Due to his height, physique, and strength, he excelled in the air, although he was also a prolific goalscorer with his feet, due to his powerful and accurate shot. Despite his size, he was also a fast player, who was gifted with good technical ability and passing ability, which allowed him both to score and create goals. He has since been included in the Football League 100 Legends and was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame.
He was never cautioned or sent off during his entire career, due to his philosophy of never kicking or intentionally hurting opposing players. Standing at 6 feet 2inches, he was nicknamed Il Gigante Buono – The Gentle Giant.
He was appointed Chief Medical Officer in 1950 and retired in 1958. He devoted considerable attention to the development of the World Health Organisation for which he continued to work after his retirement.

John W. Charles was an English professional footballer. He spent his entire professional career at Blackpool in the early 1900s, making over 200 Football League appearances for the club. He played as a midfielder.
Blackpool
Crook-born Charles made his debut for Blackpool in the opening game of the 1912–13 season — a 1–1 draw at Grimsby Town. He went on to be ever-present in the club's 38 league games and two FA Cup ties against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane. He scored four goals in the league and both of the club's two goals in the FA Cup (the first in a 1–1 draw that took the tie to a replay; the second in a 6–1 defeat).
The following season, 1913–14, Charles made 31 league appearances and scored seven goals.
In 1914–15, he made 35 league appearances and scored six goals, five of which came in the final seven games of the campaign.
Four seasons of inter–war football ensued, after which, in 1919–20, Blackpool had appointed their first full-time manager in Bill Norman. Charles found himself alternating between the right and left flanks as he made 27 league appearances and scored four goals (including the only goal of the game in a victory over Bury at Bloomfield Road on 2 April. He also scored in their 4–1 FA Cup first-round replay victory at Derby County on 14 January.
John William Charles (9 September 1944 – 17 August 2002) was a footballer who played for West Ham United as a defender. Nicknamed ″Charlo″, Charles was the first black player to represent England at Under-18 level and became the first black player to play for a first division West Ham United side when he made his debut in 1963.
Early life
Charles was born in Ordnance Road, Canning Town. The family later moved to Ronald Avenue and he attended Pretoria School. He was the second youngest of nine children. His younger brother Clive also played for West Ham and went on to coach the US National Soccer Team. His mother, who was white, came from Silvertown and his father was a merchant seaman from Grenada.

Sleep My Life Away - John Charles

http://johncharlessongs.bandcamp.com/track/sleep-my-life-away
I sleep my life away
And I'm lovin' it-blind to all I meet
The less fortunate earned their
Lot in life-no brother will I keep
Sleep my life away-in my cushy cocoon
I'll call that "Peace"
As long as I've got mine-all must be fine
I need more sleep
Insomnia is for-the suckers
And "The have-nots"-but not me
My boots are worth more-than your life
And that is fine, you see that ...
I'll sleep my life away-in my cushy cocoon
I'll call that "Peace"
As long as I've got mine-all must be fine
I need more sleep
As proverbs say-"When you liest down
You shall not be afraid ...
... and your sleep shall be sweet"
If you look at my life-you're envious
At least...

I sleep my life away
And I'm lovin' it-blind to all I meet
The less fortunate earned their
Lot in life-no brother will I keep
Sleep my life away-in my cushy cocoon
I'll call that "Peace"
As long as I've got mine-all must be fine
I need more sleep
Insomnia is for-the suckers
And "The have-nots"-but not me
My boots are worth more-than your life
And that is fine, you see that ...
I'll sleep my life away-in my cushy cocoon

As long as I've got mine-all must be fine
I need more sleep
As proverbs say-"When you liest down
You shall not be afraid ...
... and your sleep shall be sweet"
If you look at my life-you're envious
At least, that's what I think
Everybody wants what I have
The moat I've built is deep
Constructed with the help
Of (other) sleep-walkers-with whom I scheme
I'll sleep my life away-my prescriptions filled
I'll call that "Peace"
As proverbs say-"When you liest down
You shall not be afraid ...
... and your sleep shall be sweet"
Oh so sweet!
Sleep my life away
And I'm lovin' it-I'm on to victory
I wipe the blood that stains my fingers
On the backs of humanity
I'll scheme your life away, everything you saved
I'll call that "Freedom"
But my conscience won't die
I secretly despise all that is me
Proverbs did not say
"When I liest down
I'll be afraid
And my sleep ain't cheap!"
No my sleep ain't cheap
My sleep ain't cheap!

William John Charles, CBE (27 December 1931 – 21 February 2004) was a Welsh international footballer who played for Leeds United and Juventus. Rated by many as the greatest all-round footballer ever to come from Britain, he was equally adept at centre-forward or centre-back. Due to his height, physique, and strength, he excelled in the air, although he was also a prolific goalscorer with his feet, due to his powerful and accurate shot. Despite his size, he was also a fast player, who was gifted with good technical ability and passing ability, which allowed him both to score and create goals. He has since been included in the Football League 100 Legends and was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame.
He was never cautioned or sent off during his entire career, due to his philosophy of never kicking or intentionally hurting opposing players. Standing at 6 feet 2inches, he was nicknamed Il Gigante Buono – The Gentle Giant.
Sleep sweet everything is all right Your burning eyes can feel the cool of rest Were you scared at night in the pitch black Creatures scuttling on wood floors I am here to quench your thirst I am here to make it work Nothing bad will ever happen
