Sad newz. For those of us lucky enough to have been around at the time Nobby doing a jig round the pitch with the World Cup,socks round his ankle is a memory that will remain with us until we also shuffle off.

Those of us lucky to be around at the time will remember the thud when you headed the leather ball, especially on a wet pitch. No wonder older pros feel that this was the cause of their dementia. I remember playing for the school headed the wet ball and it took me off my feet. Also left a big mark where the laces hit my forehead. Happy days!!!

That's why Stanley Matthews was appreciated. He always crossed with the laces on the other side of the ball to the header.
