...Left his mortal coil this morning after a heart attack. One of the football greats in a day when there were many and a genuine star of the '66 World Cup, he learnt to play using rolled up socks and newspaper for a ball and earned next to nothing during his career.
More than one or two of today's footballers could take a lesson in humility and decency from a man who followed up a shot by shaking the opposing goalkeepers hand (While the ball was still in play) for a great save which probably denied him a European Cup winners medal.
