beautifulthailand99 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) I'm from Preston and was brought up by my Dad to worship the ground he stood on. Met him for an autograph in 1969 - a real gent and in the words of Pele - one of the greatest footballers of all time. RIP - and the local paper pays tribute. http://www.lep.co.uk/ Edited February 15, 2014 by beautifulthailand99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
