Yet another of the 'Old School' of footballers has left us.

Played for Blackpool 600 plus times and England, Managed Bolton and Leeds, then spent years doing summaries for BBC 5 Live. Never heard anything other than praise for one of footballs "Mr Nice Guys"

Rest In Peace Jimmy Armfield.

Just heard this news. A very sad loss. One of the sport's true gentlemen, we'll not see his like again.

Jimmy Armfield RIP

I've never heard a bad word about this gent and well remember, as a young girl in Blackpool, getting his booked autographed for my dad who was a massive fan of Blackpool FC.
