Title: Eusebio Post by: Ticker45 on Sunday, January 5, 2014, 11:07:33 Just heard that Eusebio has died. Definitely one of the greats and was lucky enough to see him at Wembley when Utd beat Benfica in the '68 European Cup.

As a young boy who loved footy Eusebio was one of the great players i remember. It was the sportsmanship that I remember....Ticker mentions the 68 game...Eusebio was through on goal fires in a shot, which Stepney catches with a fantastic stop...Eusebio goes up and applauds him. What it should be about, after all it's only a game. Title: Re: Eusebio Post by: Arriba on Sunday, January 5, 2014, 13:04:21 One of the greatest. Ever. The term world class is used to frequently. Not in his case.

Title: Re: Eusebio Post by: Dostoyevsky on Sunday, January 5, 2014, 13:45:06 Sad loss to the game. Will give Portugal a perfect incentive to put in a great showing at the World Cup to commemorate him. In a top 10 of all time.
