Sorry not a football fan, but surely it's a family's tragedy, but no loss to football as he's not still playing?

His death could be considered a loss to football, due to his celebrity/popularity within the game. Youngest player in the immortal '66 world cup winning team. Got MOTM as well i think. Had a decent club career as well and then mananged a fair few teams.

I am too young to have ever seen him play, but he was always on talksport in the mornings and seemed a laugh.

I used to have a poster of him on my bedroom wall in the early seventies. My mum (an Arsenal fan) bought it for me. I was too young to know who he was, and hadn't yet come to the conclusion that I don't particularly like football. Still, it's sad as 61 is too young to go.

Delighted to wade into any '66 and all that' thread but this one is for the memory of a fine player, may he rest in peace.
