Minute's applause for legend Ball
Premiership and Football League clubs will pay tribute to World Cup winner Alan Ball with a minute's applause before all this weekend's games.Ball died on Tuesday at the age of 61 after suffering a heart attack.
"This will give supporters the chance to pay their own tribute," said Football League boss Andy Williamson.
