He runs that game. NEA. England don't win that without BallyIf any of you younger fans want to see how good Alan Ball was the game is on C4 now MOTM well worth a watch.
.....and then sell him on. Worst decision ever......when Everton could go out and buy the 21 year old MoM in a World Cup Final.
One of the few things Catterick got wrong......and then sell him on. Worst decision ever.
Still the best player on the pitch in extra time.Ball was hands down England’s best player in that first 90, amazing ability on the ball. Can 100% see why he was snapped up right away.

Yes remember it well, jumped out of my chair when it was announced on the six o’clock news, running round the house like a dervish, my wife thought I’d cracked up. What great service we got out of him, on the Saturday after he was sold Goodison Road was like a cemetery with crowds in mourning. Players in Bellefield remember Alan coming out of Catterick’s office crying and telling them “ He’s selling me “ he couldn’t believe it. There have been a few stories told about why he was sold since that day, Catterick doesn’t come out of it very well in some tales and neither does Ball in other stories.I will never forget that day. I was a 9 year old, playing footie in Grandison Road, Walton.
A top Toffee neighbour came running out of his house telling the whole world that we had signed Bally.
