OTBC!!
Right a couple of curve balls. Gordon Banks and Peter Schmeical. Both outstanding players who altered the outcomes of major games by making saves that were almost unbelievable.
Also I agree with Garincha, in Brazil considered by many to be the equal of Pele despite a deformity. Not regarded as highly as a personality due to indiscretion in his private life.
The utter parochialism of some of the posts on here beggars belief. Yes, the UK has produced some good footballs, a number of whom never had the chance to show themselves fully on the world stage, e.g John Charles
The utter parochialism of some of the posts on here beggars belief. Yes, the UK has produced some good footballs, a number of whom never had the chance to show themselves fully on the world stage. However for all round greatness , you have to look at a hand full of players headed by Pele, Cruyff, Maradona and Best.
Hmm, which World Cup did George Best play in ?
To be fair if you put Pele or Maradonna in the Northern Ireland team of the time they still would not qualify for the World Cup final. Pele claimed "Best was the greatest fotballer in the world"
He got to the highest level of the pro game winning the European Cup.
Ask Ian Evans or Glyn Pardoe
