Aged 82, the greatest Brazilian footballer , Edson Arantes do Nascimento better known as PELE has passed away.
A man to whom the adjective 'LEGEND ' doesn't come close to the reality of the man.
R.I.P. PELE , my boyhood hero , you were a joy to watch when playing , a true gentleman off the pitch and a fabulous ambassador for football .

Our first opportunity at the stadium to honour Neil Robinson, who passed last month. A great servant to the club, he’ll be chuffed to be included in the applause for the Great Man.

My only memory of Pele is from the 1970 World Cup final. What a player among a team of exceptional players.

Neil Robinson. Replaced Windham at right back. Solid player.

Neil was a hard-working, dependable player who always gave his best for us. Tosh signed very few duds believe me. I remember that soon after our 5-1 demolition of Leeds in the old First Division, I went to WBA where, despite being the better side, we were hammered 1-4 with Regis getting a hat-trick. Neil got our goal with an exocet of a strike from the middle of the park about 25 yards out, which flew in just under the bar. Spectacular!!

RIP, Neil, thanks for the memories, mate. You were a good 'un.
