Just read that.

Had to have another look at his goal against Ipswich. Sublime.

I knew about Nobby Stiles but not about Martin Peters.

I had one of those old leather footballs with the laces when I was a kid. When it was wet it used to double in weight!

I just about remember them. I think a lad in our street had one and we couldn't use it in the wet due to the weight.


Shame about the World Cup lads too. there was a recent documentary on Sky about 1966 and noticed Nobby's son was on as Nobby was poorly. Didn't realise why though.

Former PL footballer David Ginola has reportedly suffered a heart attack.

He's put it down to playing football in the midday sun, but is having tests. May be a heart problem, but then again he may have just fainted from the heat.

He may have a point about playing the WC in Qatar during the summer.

Rumours that he tweet wasnt him, and that people who went to see him report he is in a coma.

Great guy, great footballer..... best wishes to him and his recovery.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Blimey, now reported he is recovering after quadruple bypass surgery.

Id ignore it, every story is different at the moment. Some people are saying coma, some dead, some that he didnt have a heart attack and just fainted......

[Aidan11]

Whatever the truth let's just hope he's ok.

Not my favourite footballer but that's irrelevant.
