RIP Nobby and thank you

You played when men were men and not the diving show ponies we have to put up with today

You are going to have to go back a long, long way to find the halcyon days before diving became endemic in football. Even now, perhaps the most famous diver is still Francis Lee, known throughout football in the 60s and 70s as Lee Won Pen. In one season alone he won 15 penalties.

Haller of the West Germany 1966 world cup team was a good diver, saw West Germany twice at Hillsborough in 1966.
