"Football legends"

Name a football legend for what they did in the world cup.

Gordan banks

Produced on of the greatest ever saves to deny the legendary Pele in a classic confrontation between Brazil and Enlgand. Banks look stranded on the near post as the brazillien crossed the ball with a down word header. Pele turned to celebrate, but banks spang from accros his line to somehow scoop it away.

I'd say Johan Cruyff is another.

I remember seeing this one penalty that he scored, where the ball was actually passed forwards first before being struck into the back of the net.
It's all legal tonight.

We could moan about that hand ball all day really, however buy Mike Bassett England Manager (the film), it will make it all better

i would have to say marradona not for the hand of god goal but for the other one against engaland he took on nearly the whole team and scored a great goal

Garrincha is my hero. He was born a cripple but turned out to be one of the best players the world has ever seen.

juste Fontaine

Scoring an unbeaten 13 goals in the 1958 tournament.

I know cheating git! I hate him! Good legend tho :)

Maradona.

Scores one of the best goals against England...and in the same game gets away with one of most cheekiest goals in World Cup history. He made it look good though...

Especially when he punched his fist into the air celebrating that goal...

To discuss about it.

Why?
