George Cohen (1939-2022)

Another one bites the dust.

One of the least celebrated of the 1966 team, of who only two survive (Bobby Charlton and Geoff Hurst), possibly down to his career-long association with Fulham. There are fewer and fewer of us left who watched the final live.

I wasn't aware that Ben Cohen, of England rugby fame, was his nephew.

This guy was rightly revered by Fulham fans over a certain age.
