Ball Passes Away


Alan Ball has sadly passed away at the age of 61. I am not going to pretend I know everything about him, because I know very little, but it is still very upsetting when someone's life comes to an end. Alan was the youngest member of the 1966 England World Cup winning squad and also became Arsenal's record signing, costing £200,000. Ball was also given an MBE. But it his his kind heart that will be missed. He is believed to have sold his World Cup medal, in order to help his family. A great player, a great smile and an even greater heart.
R.I.P. Alan Ball
