RIP George.

George Cohen used to tell a story about Nobby Stiles from the 1966 World Cup. Nobby had performed a really hard tackle on an Argentinian player and the South American turned to him and said, "You do that again Stilesy and I kick your teeth in". "You'll be lucky", said Nobby. "They're in a glass jar back in the dressing room".

Yeah. Such linguists in them days.

RIP

Disappointed it came so late on the 6.00pm news on the BBC. Maybe a distant memory for most.
