Sad indeed - he was only 61. I saw him play for Arsenal many times. Good memories.

a legend down these parts, its not often saints and pompey unite on anything but today is one of those days. did fantastically for both clubs, for saints both as a player and a manager. probably the only manager to understand a team CAN revolve round one player, in our case Matt Le Tissier. played some of the best football of our history under Bally. he had Le TIss as first on the team sheet and the rest revolved around him.

RIP Alan Ball

R.I.P indeed.

A very honest pundit whenever he was on the telly too.

Sadly I'm too young to have seen him play other than repeats of the world cup final really.

Also don't forget 7th September 2005.

I know it's not in the same league but hey - we are a small nation and proud of our team.

can you ask them if they want salt and vinegar on their chip? i'd say they're bitter enough already.
