    I don't see many mentions of Dembele as being the greatest ever?

    There's absolutely no way that they won't be.
    They've absolutely shredded the record books and been at the top of the game for a long time.
    They do things every year which would be unbelievable for pretty much any other player.

    They've both scored over 600 goals. Proper ones too, not the crap that Pele uses to boost his number. That's insane.
    Brazilian Ronaldo was an incredible player, more of an out-and-out striker than either of them and he ended up about 200 goals behind where they are now.
    Ronaldo's won 25 trophies and Messi's won 29. They'll be talked about for a very, very long time.

    I think you’ll find Frankl was a racehorse.

    Loved this team and felt sorry that they never won the world cup even if it was my team that beat them. They made the game an absolute joy to watch.

    It shoes how much football has changed.

    Going back to the 70’s, if you went in a certain pub in the Kings Road almost any night of the week you’d find Osgood, Alan Hudson, and Charlie Cooke working their way through the pints. They were such a regular fixture that nobody took much notice of em.
