[Mr Olympia]

BREAKING NEWS

Former footballer Alan Ball who helped England win the World Cup has died.
The ex-Arsenal and Everton player, who also managed Manchester City, Southampton and Portsmouth, was 61.

He passed away last night after a heart attack.

The marauding midfielder was the youngest member of the country's cup-winning team in 1966.

His ex-England team-mate Alan Mullery told Sky News: "He was a loveable character. He loved football and just lived football.

"He was a fit little fellow. He played a lot of golf, did a lot of exercise. I'm just shocked (at his death) I can't believe it."
