Absolute gent, hero and inspiration.
Approaching his centenary he is raising money for the NHS and this is AFTER a hip replacement.
Puts the refusal of Arsenal pampered ponces objecting to a 12% pay cut into perspective.
Shame on you all.

Good Morning ALL - Let's start the day with 1 of the best stories to come out of this Coronavirus Updates -
WW2 veteran, 99, completes 100th lap
A 99-year-old World War Two veteran who is walking 100 laps of his garden before he turns 100 has now raised £12m for the NHS.
Captain Tom Moore originally wanted to raise £1,000 for NHS Charities Together by completing the distance.
But he has hit 12,000 times his initial target, thanks to donations from more than 600,000 people online.
Captain Moore, who relies on a walking frame, aims to complete his 100th lap at about 08:30 BST this morning, live on our Breakfast programme on BBC One.
"It's a lovely morning. I feel fine. Being in the army, we are used to getting up early," said the World War Two veteran, who turns 100 later this month.
"We started this off as a family joke. I had a broken hip and skin cancer on my head - the service I've had from the National Health Service was absolutely marvellous.
"It's an absolutely fantastic sum of money. It's unbelievable that people are so kind."
