Default Jimmy Armfield, former England captain, dies aged 82

He was on 5 live from 1978 till recently,. he had been fighting Cancer for the last decade

A lovely man to listen to.




Armfield played 627 games for Blackpool in 17 years at the club

Defender was part of England’s World Cup squad in 1966

A legend of the game, one of the greatest ever English full backs.

Injury before the 66 World cup cost him being part of that winning team (he was in the squad but lost his place to Cohen), after he was by all accounts England's best player at the 62 World cup.

R.I.P Jimmy
