Fukkin hell, such enthusiasm for the game, squeeky voiced little geezer too.

Shocked, a great no doubt, will be sadly missed.

I was quite shocked when I saw that. He was still young at 61.

RIP Alan Ball. I'm too young to have ever seen him play but you could tell how enthusiastic he was about the game.
