Yes you read that right. At 1st I though ekk is this just happened. No today we go back to 1923. Here's the article for you. He was killed on Armistice day too. Awaits the chicken jokes

The Aston Villa centre-half shot dead in a row over chickens

................................................................................

Tommy Ball was murdered on November 11 1923 during a dispute with a neighbour a day after playing for Villa

................................................................................

Today is the anniversary of the day a towering Aston Villa centre-half earned a macabre place in the history books – as the only British professional footballer to be murdered.

Tommy Ball was shot dead 92 years ago today on Sunday, November 11, 1923.

Just a day earlier the 23-year-old had played for the 77th time at the heart of Villa’s defence in the 1-0 victory over Notts County that took them third in the old First Division.

The football world was stunned by the murder of the Durham-born player by his landlord and next-door neighbour.

I'm shocked by your attitudes, this is no yoking matter.

 
Your opinions are worthless Fear, one might call them chicken feed.

 
Well, I'm not changing my opinions for you, I'd be forever walking on eggs shells if I did.
 
Going to have to LAY my cards on the table and admit I'm all punned out now.
 
I bet his family were spitting feathers when it happened.

 
Why did the chicken cross Trinity Road?

Because gabby was trying to eat him whole between two slices of crusty bread
