The 1958 and 1962 World Cup campaigns are famous for the rising Brazilian star Pele (although Pele was injured for the finals after their first game), who was his not so famous striker partner who when they were both in the line up for Brazil they never lost a game?

There have only been 6 host nation cup winners, which shakermaker has listed, he just got a bit carried away. How come no-one has answered the next one? I know Omar would know the answer but is no-one else willing to have a go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vava was his strike partner at around the same time though wasn't he? 58780[/snapback] Don't forget this was a time when a 4-4-2 wasn't played, so maybe strike partner is the wrong term but he was definitely a forward/attacking player. The clue is in the stat about them never losing a game when they both played together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stories about the guy are just unbelievable, things like he had no tactical knowledge (no mention of souness please) so managers when naming their team when they got to him said to him to just do his stuff or the story where he dribbled around three defenders then gets one on one with the keeper to dribble around him twice before putting the ball in the back of the net. Or that allegedly he fathered over 30 children throughout Brazil with his 12" penis. All that and the man couldn't even stand up straight and he ran like a crab!

Lothar MATTHÄUS (Germany) 128 pts 2. Jean-Pierre PAPIN (France) 113 3. Gary LINEKER (England) 40 4. Robert PROSINECKI (Yugoslavia & Croatia) 38 5. Marco VAN BASTEN (Netherlands) 23 6. Franco BARESI (Italy) 12 7. Iván ZAMORANO (Chile) 10 8. Andreas BREHME (Germany) 9 9. Gianluca VIALLI (Italy) 8 10.

Lothar Matthaus was absolutely awesome in that competition - a primary reason as to why West Germany won it IMO. He was as important to them as Lampard is to Chelsea these days.
