George Cohen RIP (1939-2022)

[coyote]

Another England World Cup winner gone - right-back George Cohen has died at the age of 83. Only Bobby Charlton (who sadly has withdrawn from public life with dementia) and Geoff Hurst remain with us. Voted England's greatest ever right-back, he provided the cross for Bobby Charlton's winner in the semi and I was surprised to read that he had to retire from the game due to injury at just 29.

I'm not English, but maximum respect. It's a shame the way the FA treated them after 1966. RIP
