Jack Regan was known as The Prince of Fullbacks. He was regarded as the greatest fullback of all time but, shamefully, was denied the position in the AFL's Team of the Century. He played in an era of great full forwards. His duels with Bob Pratt were legendary. He was a magnificient mark and a superb kicker. Archival footage shows him using the now defunct drop kick for his kickouts. In slow motion they demonstrate his perfect balance and timing.
He served the club for years and held the position of Club Secretary until his retirement in 1977.
John Thaw as DI JackRegan in episode one, series one of The Sweeney.
Regan is a hardman but he is human: he helps out an ex-informer whose son is kidnapped in Feet of Clay (Series 4), and his sympathetic pushing enables his boss Haskins to ask for help when his wife goes missing after a breakdown in Victims (Series 4) - it is Regan who finds her.
The final episode "Jack or Knave" saw a slightly ambiguous ending with the main character JackRegan being temporarily locked up after being implicated in a corruption scandal of which he was exonerated.
