FOOTBALL LEGEND NAT LOFTHOUSE DIES AT 85

Sad to see that great England and Bolton legend Nat Lofthouse has died aged 85.He played under my old boss,the late Billy Wright,for England.Billy brought me to ATV as a presenter in 1971.He used to talk about those great days,some of which I remember as a kid.Nat scored and was known as the Lion of Vienna in a famous 3-2 England win over a then great Austria side.He was battered from pillar to post,even unconscious at one point.Youngsters today don't obviously recall these great players,may not have heard of them and didn't realise how tough the game was then.Little protection from referees.Billy was wing-half and centre-half.Played for Wolves for 21 years and 105 times for England...yet was never booked.Nat Lofthouse spent all his career with one club,too.Bolton and I saw him there until the last few years.What an ambassador,what a legend!
