Alan Ball

[InsaneApache]

I was going to post this in the footy thread, then I thought it deserved a thread of it's own.


World Cup winner Alan Ball has died of a heart attack at the age of 61.

Ball was the youngest member of the England side that won the World Cup in 1966 and went on to win 72 caps.

and a Bolton lad to boot (sic)

RIP Alan, off to play in the great stadium in the sky. :bow:

He's up there in the sky, playing a harp. And maybe drinking piña coladas while getting pleased by women a dozen at a time.
