Thankfully hung on till after World Cup.

Technically the best…kicked to bits in 1966…no cheating unlike alleged goat messi and ronaldo

No contest. Just regret never seeing him play despite being within two miles of his match in late 1960s

what a player and what a team he played in, iconic is very apt I don't need any over inflated descriptions of what a class act he was from helium gulping commentators  of ITV and BBC sad tonight and it's a great loss to the world of football

GOAT


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Just seen the minutes applause for Pele and David Johnson at Liverpool.

Saw Johnson play for Liverpool at Anfield when we lost 5-0, what a great side they had.

RIP both.

Your a lucky man in being alive during the 1970s and seeing that Brazilian side of 1970 win the world cup . Many football journalists from what I've read all say the greatest international side ever .

I saw the great Rivelino play at Wembley in a friendly against England in 1978, he played in that team, what a player.

Pleased you got to see a Brazilian side and some of their magical players play live.

I think what's a shame and  Pele admitted as much is he never got to play at Wembley.

Actually got to see him in an 11 v 11 training session in the Bahamas in 1976 when he played for the New York Cosmos. My lad played in a local league at the YMCA and the Cosmos used their facilities for training during their trip. He played the first half, made a few short passes and scored a couple of goals. No one tackled him! but feel fortunate to have seen him play even though he was past his best. RIP GOAT.

I might be pedantic here but he was not as good a bekenbaur or Bobby Moore, not as good as schmeical either, however definitely the best attacking player ever in my humble opinion.
