JamieD 19,077 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Apparently he didn't even know that they'd won the World Cup in '58. He didn't know the format of the competition and thought there were more games to play. He just took every match as it came. Unbelievable tekkers.

Unbelievable tekkers.You can see how disformed his leg is in that video.Imagine him getting looked at murray park and the likes they would take one look at his leg and shake their heads. Especially when they turn kids away for not being tall enough.FFS its not basketball we are playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jela 20,582 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 The best ever ? For me its the Real Ronaldo but many, many brazillians certainly believe it was the wee man himself, and I can see why, obviously a magnificent talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
