To those of us who are 'old timers', and I guess at 36- I qualify, he'll be missed. My first 'favorite player' in the game, and a part of Philadelphia soccer history.

Alan Ball, former Philadelphia Fury playerHe played when I was working there! A good guy who held the midfield together during his brief tenure, and who seemed to play some of his best ball against the Cosmos.
