and live on Freeview channel 276
I was only 16 and slightly nervous as I walked into the SWFC building.
I sat outside the office wondering what my first interview would be like.

Hide AdAs I looked around I was aware of a tall man walking towards me.
As he got closer, I realised it was Jack Charlton.
He came over to me and said: “Are you being looked after all right?”
“Yes, thank you” I replied.
“Good,” he said and with that he walked off.
Wow, I thought, I’ve just met Jack Charlton.
I couldn’t wait to go home and tell my mum and dad and brother.
I went in for my interview, but could hardly concentrate.
What a wonderful man Jack Charlton was, seeing a nervous young girl sat there and making sure I was all right.
