Never saw him play, but I understand he was on a par with Pele and Marradonna.

Will we see his like again?

RIP.

I think he was in a league above them all.. ........good to see the media vultures concentrating on his footballing achievements.....

what can we say

best balance in the game
best feet in the game
best footballing mind

Here here!
We will never see his likes again .
Cheers George

i agree about him being a great legend but someone has to say it, what a waste.

[pingu]

ok i'll disagree(gues will be hated now)
A guy who had not played for 20+ years he was more known as a drunk then a footballer by most people who watch the game
he wasted a chance with a second liver which he never should have been given!!!!!!
ok it was a sad loss for his family but not the country!!!!!

why did we see nothing about richard burns who died same day
GB world rally champ !!!!!

just my umble opinion


running and hiding now

[gullyworm]

No i think your right pingu.
At the time i posted saying so much as we`ll never see such great footballer again,but i think the events after his death were way over the top.
Ever since the death of Diana we seem to have got right into this national mourning thing for anyone trom Di to Ken Biggly.
People need to get a grip.
Tin hat on

[fishypaul]

in my opinion pele was a better player

and yes, i agree with you ping,good footballer but was given a lease of life and blew it.

agree with pingu on this, aint a football fan so dont know how good he was, but its only a game, it aint like he saves 100s of lives or invented something great
