Did you read the BBC headline and think he'd died too?

Yep, it's an instinctive reaction these days, isn't it?! Celeb of a certain age.

Marrying someone 40 years younger than him 15 years ago probably gave him a bit of extra spirit for his final years.

He has Alzheimers, diagnosed in 2016, so I wouldn't expect him to be away from this thread for too long I'm afraid. :(

He's had Alzheimers the last 6 years. Such an awful condition. :( His goalscoring records are stunning.

I’d imagine a lot of players from that era will end up with incurable conditions like Alzheimer’s. It’s happened to a few of the Lisbon Lions as well. Probably time to have a genuine conversation about banning headers.

Sean Lock's died of cancer at 58. Really sad, I was binging 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown clips this weekend so he's particularly fresh in my mind :(
