Always sad when someone dies. Families mourn a lost one. I've been right there.

Sad he has died, as much as any other human being.

However I am pleased his football philosophy has died with him. He was the man behind so much negative football, I will never evr forget an interview he gave where he said, "if you don't concede a goal, you won't lose a game" . He was a key part of the philosophy that made England boring and Boring boring Arsenal.

unfortunately his philosophy lives on in the form of Mourinho, AVB and the like.
