Bobby Charlton's brother Jack collapses on holiday

England World Cup winner Jack Charlton is recovering with his family after collapsing during a holiday in Spain, reports The Sun. The 74-year-old was admitted to a private clinic but scans and heart tests have proved inconclusive so far.

Charlton was discharged with medication to treat high blood pressure.

And his son John insists the defensive hardman is doing well after spending three days in hospital.

He said: "It was a scare at the time but he has had more tests and checks than he would have had in the UK.

"We've taken all the right precautions to make sure he's OK and he was well looked after right from the start.

"He just had a bit of a turn."
