Anyone else think he has a resemblance to Joe Hart in some of the pictures they are showing on this documentary?

The amazing thing about his life is that if you wrote that story, scripted it and pitched it to be made into a movie the response would be " great story but real life just isn't like that " - the guy lived such a dramatic life.
After his appearance on this documentary saw Bob Wilson live on breakfast TV extolling Bert's virtues and saying Gordon Banks thought Bert was the #1 keeper ever too. Some praise when you also consider how close to Frank Swifts career this was.
Was talking to my Dad about this as Bert is his era and he joked that given the broken neck incident he doubts that even death would see Bert come off - he'd probably signal to the bench he was ok to carry on even as he drew his terminal breath such is the guys legenday courage.
RIP Bert.

Hi guys, I started a group on facebook two or three years ago atleast to try and gain support to have a stand named after the legend that is Bert Trautmann but unfortunatly at the time it didnt really gather pace. I am hoping that due to recent events that i can count on every blue or football fan in general to sign this petition and send it to the club to have a fitting tribute to the great man. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/standfortrautmann" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/standfortrautmann</a>
Share it as much as possible please guys.

I await the day when we get a programme on telly or an article in the press that doesn't include some Rag bastard pissing on our chips.
