25 January 1942 – 5 January 2014 Truly one of the all time great footballers Eusebio was also an example of how to play the game in the right way. Always treated his opponents with respect, only using his superb skills, an example badly needed in todays cynical game. Thanks Eusebio for your skill and your smile. please log in to view this image [video=youtube;xO3ZBMVh1l4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=xO3ZBMVh1l4[/video]
I remember Eusebio playing with Benfica at the Lane the night we were robbed in 1962 when Jimmy Greaves scored a perfectly good goal. I still have the ticket! R.I.P
Jimmy also had a perfectly good goal at their ground disallowed,and they talk about fixed games today!,but Eusebio was one of the greats.i remember watching his games in the 1966 world cup,top scorer in the compition that year!
His goal scoring record was amazing. Bit before my time but from many legends and greats say about him, he sounds like one of the best ever. R.I.P x
This sounds about right to me. Before my time, so I've only seen bits of his play, but there's no disputing his influence.
Bit before my time but from what I've read over the years about him and of the archive footage I've seen, seemed a very special and gifted player. R.I.P. Eusebio.
This shows all you need to know about this guy! In A European Cup Final too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THH_TnTA58M
I think he's been cloned: please log in to view this image 17-year-old Lazio youngster Joseph Minala.
He's had a hard life! Other pictures don't really help him there, to be honest: please log in to view this image Googling him brings up the suggestion of Joseph Mengele too, which isn't a great connection for him, though the Lazio fans probably don't mind.
This keeps happening. These guys aren't as young as claimed. They all burn out "early" because they're actually older than claimed. See Babayaro and Abegafeni (whatever) Martins
Obafemi Martins. Scored the winning goal in a cup final against Arsenal. Have some respect! Was that rumour about him and Celestine Babayaro playing in the same youth team ever verified? Teribo West has been accused of shaving 12 years off his age!
