Just back from a days racing and heard of the death of a genuine footballing legend Eusebio. His goalscoring record is up there with the best. Remember him scoring 4 goals against North Korea (they were called the diddy men that time) in the q/finals. Was at a world cup qualifier against Portugal years ago and was regaled with stories about the great man from the locals in the pub before the match in Lisbon. Just like us with Ossie there is a statue to him outside Benfica's ground. R.I.P. big man, only 71, not old these days.
I was at Wembley watching him in the semi-final World Cup clash in 66! He was CLASS!!! We got through (I think it was 2-0) but all our fans started chewing fingernails whern he got the ball! Great player, great bloke!
Absolute legend - saw footage of the group match against Brazil at Goodison Park and Eusebio took them apart; certainly up there with the greats. R.I.P
