Yes, very sad. Only 5 caps for England was scandalous

Brilliant talent, bit of a character.
The rumours he'd be found in the bookies in full kit having a bet on the 2.47 greyhound race for a 3pm kick-off always had me in awe.

What a partnership with Gerry Francis. Stan Bowles was from a wonderful era of naturally gifted players who didn’t need to try too much and liked to party. Hudson, Worthington, Best, Marsh.

Wonderful player. Only saw him once, at Newhaven with George Best, in a charity match circa 1988.

Genuinely sad. His house was on my walk to school every day and the amount of time I lingered slowly walking past hoping to catch a glimpse of the local legend!
