Expert medical opinion was saying he would be dead last night, but typically, he beat 'em and and went on to play some extra time. Finally, though he's off the pitch and away to the great pub in the sky.
But what a player he was! I suppose for most on here, you will only have seen his skills on grainy celluloid film; but there must be a few who were privilidged to see him live. I saw him a few times at Turf Moor in the late 60's and he was awsome. Today, the likes of Beckham & Rooney come nowhere near to matching his talents.
This is a sad day for footy.
