I remember as a kid the reception he got one game when he returned with Southampton in about 1978 I think,I was too young to appreciate Bally when he was with us but that reception has always stuck with me and my thoughts at the time were this fella must have been one hell of a player for our football club and how I wished I had been born ten years earlier to appreciate him

I took my wife to that game. It was an amazing atmosphere and Ball said afterwards he was in tears.....

Too young to have seen him. Not many people are worthy of a lazarus style cryo-chamber but this fella should have been on that list

In the World Cup final was he an Everton player or still Blackpool?
