Also provided the basis of a million terrace chants.
 
Great player and a great team in the late 60s, early 70s.
 
RIP, remember him well from my teens.

Strangely, that article is dated Thursday 14 January 2021.
 
RIP Great player who, as a 12 year old boy, I was lucky enough to see in the flesh in the 1969 FA Cup final.
 
Its always a bit of a wake up call seeing players we watched as young boys passing away at a relativley advaced age realising that our time will, in the not to distant future, be up. A sobering thought

On the contrary, it's just driven me to have several drinks and think about writing a will - if we put together a team of those who died in 2020 and 2021 we would have a world beating team.
 
Watching the Italian Job last night and noticed 'Bell' painted on the side of their van.
