R.I.P Alan Ball

[maxfax]

The youngest England world cup winner, Alan Ball, has passed away, aged 61. I am in genuine shock. Ok, I am a Wales supporter, but I still remember what a massive contribution he made to this country, & indeed football.

Rest In Peace Alan.

Not old enough to properly remember him as a player, only heard my dad's side of the story. But as a fellow short ass, it was good to read how he kept going when everyone told him he was to short etc.

Minute's applause for legend Ball

I think that's a great idea!

If I ever die ( ) I'd much prefer a minute's applause to a minute's silence.
