it's difficult to compare eras, but for me, as a kid in the 80s, he'll always be the best of them all.

all the more impressive that he managed it all while living life like Bez off the pitch

Absolute genius tbh. I think him and Pele, in the 20th century anyway, were just at a different level to all the other greats like Cruyff, Best, Platini and so on. RIP

I really like the theory that Pele was a fraud, but I’m miles too young to have seen him play

I reckon half of Pele’s goals were made up tbh :lol: 

Like his “greatest ever”

I remember watching the quarter final against England in 86 as an 11 year old. I was with my dad and his brother and it was either at Blue Flames or what was the Ministry sports ground (now the Newcastle training ground) with a room full of people, all wanting England to win. Mainly I guess what you’d call everyday working class lads, probably with little love for Maradona or Argentina. And when he scored the second goal people just spontaneously applauded. 

Terry Fenwick should’ve brought him down like.

I remember watching this on TV as a kid when he was warming up when Naples played Stuttgart in the UEFA cup. We all tried to copy it in training for ages.

That fucking tune though
