    Another of the history making England squad gone, having played every minute of the 1966 World Cup campaign as well as 459 games for Fulham as with many in that era a one club man.

    I was at that match, my dad was a Stan.

    A certain Mr Haynes scored.

    Strangely enough I had seen Fulham the week before at Elland Rd, my uncle was a Leeds fan.

    RIP Mr Cohen, you did England and Fulham proud.

    Sad to see another go. One club man, never chased the money, so much has changed

    Looking at the Fulham tram, some big names there

    One of my earliest footballing memories being at this match. Fulham seemed like giants compared to Avenue.

    George Best said he was the best full back he ever faced. That's some accolade.

    RIP to another class of 66
