I asked AI who the best british players were and it keeps putting his name near the top. Anyone of an age where they saw him play and was he really one of the best players in British football history?
Tell me about John Charles

Imperious in the air. Played CF and CB. I've only read about him and a few small vids on YT. 1 in 2 for leeds, 2 in 3 for juve. Could score and then some.
…..yep, I had the impression he was similar to Duncan Edwards who tragically died following the Munich air disaster. Sort of situation of a man playing against boys, supreme athletes with great quality who could virtually play anywhere on the pitch.
Charles pretty much one of the early pioneers of playing for one of the great European clubs, 108 goals in 155 appearances for Juventus is mighty impressive.

When there's discussions about the best player ever to play for Wales, it's ALWAYS between Gareth Bale and John Charles.
Of course, no discussion is ever needed as to who was Wales' best ever goalkeeper.

John Charles' brother Mel was a big centre forward and centre back like him. Played for Wales, Arsenal, Swansea among others. He had mixed fortunes after football but outlived his brother by some margin. His son Jeremy played for Wales in the eighties.

So good that had he not got an injury during the tournament in '58, Wales might have won the world cup.
