GordonD Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 If Morais hadn't left him limping for much of the game at Goodison Park we might have been spared fifty-odd years of references to "1966". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Roberto Carlos’ goal against France, I don’t think i will ever tire of watching that goal. Rip to an absolute legend.

Thistle Bonnet Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 i was fortunate enough to see Pele at Hampden against Scotland in a friendly just before the 1966 World Cup. Billy Bremner kicked him up and down the park...and that was just during the National Anthems. Nobody noticed Scotland until they scored in the first minute. Sadly Pele suffered even more brutal treatment and was literally kicked out the World Cup in the qualifying round. I was 14 at the time of the 1970 World Cup...we could watch football on colour TV and we had genuinely never seen anything like it. Jairzinho, Gerson and Rivelino were fantastic but Pele was something else. It's the goals he didn't score that particularly stick in the memory...Gordon Banks' phenomenal save from his header...nearly lobbing a startled Czech goalkeeper from the half way line...and the dummy on the Uruguayan keeper which moved everyone watching one place to the left. It's always said that sportsmen with special talent seem to have more time than anyone else...the iconic fourth goal in the final against Italy was the perfect example....he controlled the pass from Jairzinho, had time for a puff at a cigar before rolling the ball right into Carlos Alberto's stride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) An iconic footballer and will always be considered one of the best of all time. Existed in an era before footballs mega salaries so you can hardly blame him maximising his income from advertisements. Seemed a normal, pleasant guy too which certainly doesn't apply to all elite footballers. Could have met him at a work event a few years ago but didn't go. Oh well, sure it didn't affect his life too much. Edited December 30, 2022 by Satoshi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 3 hours ago, boomboomyards said: Pure class. I'm maybe being a bit of a bam here, but what's so impressive about this goal? Ball won in own third, simple pass to CH, couple of easy passes into midfield where there is absolutely zero press, a decent bit of play by the midfielder to draw a few players in and get some space, TBF but still over 60 yards from goal, a basic ball down the line, winger cut inside, an easy ball infield and an simple pass to the expected on rushing full back. That's going to be lucky to be in the top 10 league one goals this year. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
