No mention on R5 at 7am- although that was on BBC Internet 10 minutes beforehand.

very sad, don't think he really got over the death of his wife three years ago, some families seem to have little luck on the health front! seemed a very nice bloke, and a cracking footballer, man of the match in the '66 final.

I know you shouldn't speak ill of the dead, but he really was a bit of a squeaky voiced tosser who screwed over several clubs, including my own.

RIP.

Would you rather we all wallowed in fake pity for someone we didn't know/care for?
