Re: RIP Alan Ball - 1966 England World Cup Legend
Sad indeed - he was only 61. I saw him play for Arsenal many times. Good memories.

Re: RIP Alan Ball - 1966 England World Cup Legend
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. |

1966 was 41 years ago Ok so you won the big one Your very next game was agaisnt Scotland and you lost that one OK Enough of the 66 stuff. As for the death - well dont follow football, didn't know the guy, but always a loss when someone dies. |

Also don't forget 7th September 2005.
*snigger* I know it's not in the same league but hey - we are a small nation and proud of our team. |
