RIP Bert Trautmann

[Gloom]

TBH I thought he'd passed away years ago.

His autobiography is a fascinating read. He had a life of triumph and tragedy in equal portions.
RIP

There was a great TV documentary out a few years ago about Bert, repeated tonight on the 'Yesterday' channel.

RIP.

You will Bert.
