Aye, and he played till was 34, what I am saying is he only had a small number of years when he was really elite compared to the likes a Zidane or Ronaldo.

Not skating the lad here by the way he is literally my favourite player ever.

I think he wasted a few years at PSG as they were nobody compared to now.

I lived out in Brazil back in 97/98 and watched him come through at Gremio as a kid. His debut goal for Brazil V Venezuela was outrageous for someone making his debut at 17/18.

No sign of any kit leaks yet, other than what seems a barely guarded secret that the 3rd is gonna be a bit of a ‘wise men say’ tribute in black and pink.

Guess it’s to do with the sponsor not being out yet.

Some Hummel kits out, Malaga and Betis and both are superb as always.

Can’t wait to see ours.

This years home was a real grower and it’s a folklore kit now.

Aways this season were near damn perfect the blue is an all timer for me.

So happy it got the Derby win attached.

Gorgeous shirt, wonderful details. Absolutely adore that shirt.

I watched him control an entire game at the Maracana for Gremio against Flamengo.

The goal he scored against us at the WC was not a one off.

I do remember at the time posting on a really old SAFC forum we should be doing for him, but that was probably a naive 14 yr old talking lol

The kits this year were all class and controversially I like the panel bit on the back of the home made it so unique - i only bought the away blue long sleeve this year and some young kid set a flare off behind me before the game Sunday and it now has 3 or 4 burn holes in it - Could hardly be angry with the kid total accident - Said to my dad and mates itll either be reminder of the scenes before us getting to Europe or just a nice top with holes in it

Ive seen two mock ups of the black and pink - the one shared im actually not that keen on theres one with more of a collar which I liked more and surely if ya doing Elvis it must have a collar

Aye I’d be annoyed at that but also like you say it adds to the memory.

I’ve got a burn mark on front of my white Nike Reg Vardy one which was us celebrating by having a bucket on the train home (young and daft).

Raises a smile in my now boring old age.

In the 90's, I was on the terraces at Roker Park in a pair of those flared jeans with big turn up's on.

Someone must have flicked a tab end and it had landed in the turn up and was smouldering. A bloke tapped me on the shoulder and said "hooo pet, ya troosers are on fire" :emoticon-0102-bigsm
