Alan Ball, a great player with genuine skill. Whats more Alan stood out at a time when there were many very talented players. A truly respected footballer.

A great player and a great man - he will be sadly missed.

If you were moved by his son's narration of the poem "IF" please visit my profile which contains a

video of this poem over a soundtrack of the intermezzo from Cavalieria Rusticana.

Regards to all,

A great man, a legend at Goodison as one part of the wonderful Ball-Kendall-Harvey midfield

What a strange message to post. Alan Ball will be remembered on Saturday at Pompey, Everton, Blackpool, Exeter and every other ground in England. At Pompey it will be 'Alan Ball's Blue & White Army". God bless.

Small? This man was a giant on the South Coast. We will never forget him.
