    Although I'm too young to have seen him live, I grew up with my dad singing his praises and watching grainy videos of him playing.

    Going to be a sad day in the chunk house, when he passes

    Bad news that.

    Some player man, and one of those genuinely great players who wore the responsibility of being the team's main chance like a comfortable smoking jacket.

    I always recall a photograph of Pele and Bobby Moore in an embrace two legends with mutual respect - a wonderful memory !!!

    Three World Cups and beat the Nazis with an overhead kick. If they play football for a thousand years he'll still be in the top ten.

    Remember the 1966 World Cup he was kicked from pillar to post without complaint , the opposition knew that was the only way that he could be stopped and they made sure he was - it was so sad he got no protection from the referee and officials , no not sad it was inexcusable.
