jim mk2 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Surprised no one has started a thread on this. Another member of England's one and only World Cup-winning team has gone. Alan Ball, Ray Wilson, Gordon Banks, Bobby Moore, Martin Peters. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50880336 Saw him play at Ewood. A class player.

bazza Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Known as "The ghost", Alf Ramsey could see something in him that we supporters couldn't at the time. Of course, Alf knew better. R.I.P. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone Shoelaces Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Very sad, he wasn't really that old. He suffered from Alzheimers according to the radio. Another victim of heading the old balls ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbitro Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Another great player (and person by all accounts) passing away. He was so graceful and he seemed to glide around the pitch.I RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another victim of heading the old balls ? Possibly. Though I'm pretty sure that 99% of people with Alzheimer's haven't ever headed a ball. The truth is that doctors and so-called experts still haven't got a clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I tried to identify the past players on the pitch before the Spurs v Chelsea game and only got Pat Jennings and Ossie Ardiles. Can anyone help with the rest, especially the chap nearest the camera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Peters was a noted ''header'' of the ball. Only those of us who played with that sort of ball know how heavy it got when wet.

Clive Allen was also there and Chris Hughton too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
