The past counts for nothing does it?

You have got to learn about football, history, people and life in general. At 14 you are a virgin in life experience, (and probably other things too) so do not assume that because a person no longer attracts a "great" tag, he isn't still great.
Big Nev was probably one of the top 3 keepers in the world at his peak. He will always have that, and will be remembered fondly because of that.

Big Nev lives in Deal now .

[ooh!!bodyform]

he was a quality keeper in his day!

And anyway, we should respect people for what they have achieved, and what contribution they have made. We all get older, and things we do today we may not be able to do tomorrow - that does not make us any the less a valuable person.
