Site Supporter Spider Posted December 29, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted December 29, 2022 Always hard to “get” the fuss of someone you never saw play, but I don’t think there’s any real doubt that he WAS football. Nice that he passed surrounded by family, holding his hand. That’s the way to check out. That, and being a 3 time WC winner. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter victor meldrew Posted December 29, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted December 29, 2022 With football being on tv 24/7 these days , people’s knowledge of footballers is much greater than back in the day from when it began 1900’s to the 60’s . No doubt he is in the top 3 of all time players. my all time favourite was ian moores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderlust Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Without doubt the GOAT not just for the >1000 goals or being the only player ever to win the WC 3 times but for what he did for football. He forged Brazil's footballing reputation, he cracked the USA turning crowds of 5k into 80k and making "soccer" their biggest participant sport, and he was an ambassador par excellence.

Their route from their hotel to Burnden would have involved a drive through Farnworth and either Swinton or Walkden. How many people back then realised that some of the greatest ever players and in particular, Pele, passed just a few yards away from them. Doubt they went through Little Hulton so I missed that experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
