From captaincy to Cardiff: 13 brilliant pictures of the great Jack Kyle
AT THE AGE of 88, one of Irish sport’s all-time greats, Dr Jack Kyle died today.
Here are a selection of the times ‘that damned elusive Jackie Kyle’ was captured on camera.
At the forefront in 1947
With his team to play England in 1949
Leading the Lions

Carrying the fight to England in ’57

A year later, he set a caps record of 45 among the original four nations
And was, perhaps reluctantly, carried from the pitch by his team-mates
With Ollie Campbell in 2003
The heroes of 1948 reunite at Ravenhill
Michael O’Flanagan, Paddy Reid, Jack Kyle, Karl Mullen, Jim McCarthy, Bertie O’Hanlon and Jimmy Nelson at the scene of their greatest achievement.
61 years later, Kyle was on hand to congratulate Ireland’s next Grand Slam-winning captain
