[The Great Eastern]

Peacefully passed away this morning. A classy midfielder who scored the 1st England goal in the 1966 world cup final. Matured into a silky player who almost single handedly perfected the knack of making late runs into the penalty area to score vital goals for his clubs and country.
RIP.

Remember him scoring against us in that great game 5 - 4 v Norwich. Typically ghosting in for a header.
