Thanks George. Penny's dropped now.

Nice article about old 'Squeaky' Ball in Yesterday's Liverpool Echo. Incidentally, out of all the 1966 World Cup squad he was one of the few to still be playing in hte old first division by the mid-70s. Martin Peters was another (with Norwich).

Great, old-fashioned English footballer. If you mentioned Versace to him he'd probably have thought you were trying to buy him a drink.
