RIP Alan Ball, would love to have seen his like in his prime.

....take it from this old fella that there was never a truer chant than 'who's the greatest of them all, little curly Alan Ball'. Bally was rhapsody in Blue, truly world class as a footballer aligned with a genuine love for the club. It was a priviledge to watch him.
I met his Dad in Everton Supporters Club after the 1970 Championship and he let me touch Bally's winners medal. Great memory.

I stole an Alan Ball biography (which isn't easy to get here in the states) because I felt like I should have it more than its previous owner.

Never met, saw play or even remember him but his comments 'once everton has touched' is my favourite EFC quote.

 

[ToffeeMike]

Legend.
