RIP Alan Ball

[BoyBrumby]

The youngest member of our 1966 world cup winning team dies of a heart attack at only 61. From the BBC.

Poor fella; ex-Gooner too.

RIP, hard to believe he was only 21 when he won the WC. From footage of that final, he was a machine during the final stages and according to Hurst, he won MotM for it too. Sounds like a lot of people had great respect for him, and he seemed a good bloke.

I have a feeling that a few more of football's legends are going to pass away in the near future.

Rest In Peace.
