Yes no age really now a days is it and very sad as he seemed quite unfazed by all the headlines reading some of the tributes to him.

Re: Martin Peters Dies
Hi Stan
I've read that Martin passed away from Alzheimer's. And if I recall correctly he was always the guy heading the football when the goal keeper kicked it long.
I headed the ball twice. The second time it nigh on took my head off. I ducked after that and played with my feet. I think they are going to have to start thinking about heading the ball. Far too many footballers are paying "the ultimate price".

I couldn’t agree more ASiY in fact the Walking Football group I now play with have a rule that nothing over 6’6” is legal, which works very well.
