Eusebio has died...

Postby Diflower » 05 Jan 2014, 09:42

Aged 71 :( .
Anyone old enough to have watched/listened to the 1966 World Cup would remember Eusebio, who played for Portugal.
He was the top goal-scorer and an absolute legend, I can still hear my dad telling me all about him :)

RIP.

I remember him during the 1966 World Cup. A tremendous player who always came over as a humble and decent man. RIP.

Tall, athletic, very powerful striker. One of the world's top players in his day.
