Alan
Ball Tribute Song By Martin Murphy
Southampton
supporter, Martin Murphy has written lyrics to the Oasis music,
Wonderwall. He has now recorded it and is allowing Evertonians
to download it free of charge. All he asks is for supporters to
donate £1 to the Bobby More Fund in Alan's memory. Alan's
children Jimmy, Keeley & Mandy have asked for no flowers to
be sent to the funeral at Winchester Cathedral tomorrow, but for
donations to be sent in Alan's name to the Bobby Moore Fund.

The
Lyrics
Today
is gonna be the day that I'm gonna say a prayer for you
we say you were cruelly taken away when you still had so much
left to do
I cant believe that anybody could possibly forget about you now
Small
man, a giant on the pitch, he had power, touch and bags of skill
Nice guy, he had time for every fan, it's a mighty pair of boots
to fill
I cant believe that anybody could possibly forget about you now
coz
all the runs you used to make were winding
the way you got le tiss to play was blinding
there are lots of things that we would love to say to you,
but it's too late now
You're
shining
Like a star with a ginger lining
You're loved by all
You're our Alan Ball
One
day you held the Jules Rimet on a summers day in 66
You shone, as the years went on with a passion, pride and lots
of tricks
I cant believe that anybody could possibly forget about you now

Bally's
Hometown Remembers
Hundreds
of football fans turned out in Bolton for a Memorial Service
for the late great Alan Ball. Bally's family were joined
by friends and locals, to celebrate the ex Everton and England's
players life in his hometown of Bolton. Sir Phillip Carter
represented Everton Football Club, and as requested by the
Family, many Guest's arrived in football shirts as a mark
of respect.
Alan's
Daughter Keeley says: "It means a lot because
this is where both my parents were born and I think that
dad would have wanted it. He would have been really proud
that people wanted to do this. It's been overwhelming. We
are still in shock and disbelief." (10/06/07)
