The Last of the Corinthians

Just got a call off my brother to tell me that Brian Labone died last night (I've been away so hadn't seen the local papers this morning).

I obviously never got to see him play, but he was a true Everton legend, and I did get the chance to have a few words with him some years back when we me and my brother got chatting to him (after a few pints) after a 'Meet the players' type do. He was great bloke and a blue through and through.
