Alan Ball R.I.P.

Everton and England Legend Alan Ball has died of a heart attack at his home in Hampshire overnight. Bally was part of that fantastic Everton side that swept all before them when winning the Championship in 1970. He joined up with Colin Harvey and Howard Kendall to mastermind Everton's success with one of Everton's greatest midfields in the Club's history.

Bally's crowning glory came for his Country when in 1966 his man of the match performance helped England lift the Jules Rimet Trophy in defeating West Germany 4-2 (aet) at Wembley. (25/04/07)
