What a nice ground and good match to end the year on. Last few matches have been goal heavy, but I'm not complaining. Best to both of you and your families. Thanks to Luciano, Ravenelli, Billini, Tilly, and Mason Colgate for joining throughout the year. Been a good one and can't wait for next year. Keep up the great work Finners.
Looked like a really nice stadium. Only 4 people on the tour would be excellent. No crowd and no rush. Remember to pace yourself on those cervezas amigo. Keep up the great work Finners.
What a first match in Spain. Very nice that everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Then meeting the fellow Englishmen made it even better. Shame about the lackluster stadium conditions. But, they are 4th tier and can always improve. Stay safe and keep up the great work Finners. Looking forward to the Malaga video.
Merry Christmas to you all. I am glad you lads enjoyed the shirts. Welcome back Luciano and Congrats on your Portugal trip. Sorry the night almost froze you as you watched the match. I cannot even imagine the divots after a horse walks on a pitch. Keep up the great work Finners.
Welcome back Ravenelli and Congratulations to you and Flick. Billini is very good at her tricks. Looked like a good pre-match meal you and Tomaldo were having. Was not expecting the goal fest. But was not unhappy about it. Looked like a very nice ground. Keep up the great work Finners.
Interesting
Great Video man. I do miss Wimbledon and the Crazy Gang, coming from an LFC Fan lol.
Good job paying respect to a legend of the beautiful game.
@@TheRandomDude. thank you
Finners you look like a Spaniard with the hat and the beard!!
SEASON 1959/60 WAS THE LAST TIME BURNLEY WON THE LEAGUE. ON THE NEXT SEASON, 1960/61, THE CLUB MADE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE QUARTER FINALS.
That is way my man Wayne Rooney (18) supports Everton Dixie Deane (9)
Thankyou for reminding us ❤🎉 AFC FOREVER
I’m a spurs fan aged 65 this year … Alan ball was my hero , I was 6 in 1966 .. and watching England my dad ( Brighton supporter) was telling me look at this lad , Geoff hurst might of scored a hatrick but Alan ball was MOTM .. that stuck with me and followed him ever since .. what a player , what a worker , what an influence… even signing for Arsenal didn’t sway me .. imo so underrated in real terms .. top 10 English player EVER ..
Oldest for Man Utd, Man City and Wales and in an FA Cup semi final at 49
Had some great years as a Vancouver Whitecap at the end of his career
Totally glossed over his time here in Vancouver. A fan favorite and member of our title winning Whitecaps
everything in your video is about "someone told" or "someone heard" but no facts.. so your "documentary" is just subjective. Btw, it would be nice to see your documentaries about England 1966, Italy 1934, France 1998, Korea-Japan 2002
Saw him at Norwich when playing for everton
I met Alan Ball many times . After his management career finished he did football tv shows and was a commentator on radio Solent for Southampton Fc games until his passing
Fantastic player
Lionel scaloni Luis Menotti the cigarette magician Carlos Bilardo are greats and will talk about for life in Argentina
My Boyhood hero.. In 1966, Alan wrote his name in the history of English football. He was one of the chosen few. An incredible footballer. A real Gentleman.. Everton Legend. 💙
LFC fan here, he was simply a fantastic player, had it all...
I saw Alan soon after he joined Everton in August 1966. He scored the winning goal on his debut at Fulham, and weeks later scored 2 against Liverpool in a 3-1 win at Goodison, a certain Sandy Brown as sub scored the other. from 1966 to 1970 with Colin Harvey and Howard Kendall produced some of the finest football I ever saw. The Chairman of the FA and Wolves, John Ireland described Everton as the finest post -war side in 1969 after his team was given a 4-0 master class at Goodison in the January. My saddest memory of Alan was seeing him in tears near the touchline at Old Trafford in the 1971 FA Cup semi final when the blues fell apart in the second half after he had given the Blues the lead before half time. I recall his transfer made the early BBC Radio national news, at a time football was only rarely mentioned on non match days. Alan always seemed a shadow of his Everton days at Arsenal.
The best player in English football? If you mean an English player, true, but if you mean all players in English football then George Best was the best player in English football.
Maradona good, Messi better, George Best
What a player.
Interesting name for a team, Racing Club Warwick. It's more of a Spanish/French thing to have "racing" in the name.
Knew Alan Ball snr through his managerial work in Sweden . A real character.
One of my late dads and late uncle s favourite at Everton sold too early took us 14 years to recover thank you god bless
He also had a short spell coaching at Colchester Utd helping out Jocky Wallace in the late 80.s . MOTM World Cup final 1966
What a footballer ALAN BALL was ! World class!
My all time Everton hero.
Not included in detail: Ball’s time with Philadelphia Fury (1978-79) and Vancouver Whitecaps (1979), where he was MOTM in his team’s win in the league final
World Cup winner.
Class player. One of, if not the best English midfielder of his day !
Alan made a lot more money at Arsenal . Great player
Er?...But his heart was with Everton 💙...Where he made a lot more memories for us Toffees 💙
Alan Ball giving one of the greatest speeches I gave ever heard ! ua-cam.com/video/l-3nGYY9gro/v-deo.html
Brilliant player and person, thanks for being you, respect from a Gashead
Fabulous player…and a lovely man
He was terrific for Arsenal. Top player.
Remember the penalty he scored at the kop end.
@ I don’t. Just looked it up on UA-cam though. He was a proper footballer.
I remember on my 8th birthday my dad came home from work with a pair of his white boots and I went straight out wearing them and my home kit with the number 8 on the back and I remember thinking that life can not get any better than this. Thanks for your reply Peter. UTFT. 🙏. Three points tomorrow 🤞🏼
As a lifelong Liverpool supporter he was an absolute beast of a player but he played for Everton 😢 but top top bloke
This is what Ball said, it's worth it in full , Ramsay after the final 'Congratulations, I doubt you will play a better game in the rest of your career. I'm delighted for you' Can you imagine that kind of rhetoric being used today? For the third goal KW commentating 'here's Ball running himself daft'
Man of the match in the wc final...I'd love to see the stats on how much ground he covered that day...to me it looked like a super human display of fitness
As a Southampton fan I have fond memories of Alan Ball. As a player he was one of the best signings the club ever made. As a manager he did very well with a squad that probably wasn't the best in the club's history and he definitely got the best out of Matt Le Tissier who was never quite the same after Ball left the club (yes there were a lot of great Le Tissier performances after Ball left but the days of Le Tissier scoring 20+ goals a season never came back).
It was all good until you mentioned Brizol Rovers
I remember seeing him play against us at Hampden. You know when you are a good player when the opposition supporters jeer your every touch. A fabulous player even if he was an English World Cup winner.
I loved him at The Arsenal a real Great
Great great player, at his peak at everton, still good at arsenal, joined southampton in the twighlight of his career, but still hugely influential. A real football man, gone from us far too soon.
World Cup winner, yet mention his name, and white boots is the first thing I think of, lol
