Very sad news - a top player. A World Cup winner - made a major contribution on the way to picking up that trophy.

Sadly knew this was coming last night. His granddaughter works for my son in law and he sent her home from work yesterday because she was upset and worried then.
Sad news. RIP Roger.

Sad news, one of the unsung heroes of the '66 side.

 

[Ex pfc wintergreen]

Wonder how many of the side are left .

RIP Roger.

To this day I believe his reaction to Hursts shot helped to convince the linesman the ball was over the line

Wonder how many of the side are left .

Sad news indeed.

I was wondering the same myself; I think George Cohen, Geofff Hurst and Sir Bobby are left.
Time waits for no man.

Ron Flowers and Ian Callaghan are still knocking around.

As are Terry Paine and George Eastham.

Yes, I looked at the team rather than the squad.

Bizarre how so many - 6 - have died at such relatively young ages. Average mortality for men who reach 70 is 87. I would have thought these chaps are above average fitness and all should have made it to late 80s

41 goals in 41 games, that’s how you help get your team promoted.
RIP Sir Roger

A nice bit of trivia that will be RH’s for ever. Roger Hunt scored the first ever goal on Match of the Day.
