A Thread Full Of Retro WORLD CUP Footballers

[strings]

He played in the 1974 World Cup, I give you...

Fabio Capello

 

[Jam The Man]

He played last night, but back in the day he gave the world cup the 'Blanco Bounce'

 

[Mendoza]

Stephane Guivarch

Jesper Olsen

 

[Simster]

Stephane Guivarch

Surely the SHITTEST striker ever to win a world cup winners medal?

 

[rcf0712]

hello! possibly the most famous turn ever, and this time even with zee germans tugging his shirt - legend....

and Krankl was a top striker

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

The Charltons

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Despite having the appearance of one who spends his days sitting on the grass in the Old Steine shouting at pigeons and drinking Tennents Super, Peter Disztl managed to find time to keep goal for Hungary in Mexico 86.

[Lady Whistledown]

The Butcher of Bilbao

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Jose Batista (seated) along with - that I can see- Roy Aitken (mullet), Steve Nicol (ginger), Graeme Souness (Magnum PI). Not sure who the Scottish player having a snooze on the pitch is.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Mark Hateley

 

[Lady Whistledown]

My own personal Mexico 86 favourite (I'm finding it hard to suppress a childish playground snigger even now):

Cha Bum-Kun

 

[Mendoza]

ahhhh, The man responsible for the Brighton vs Palace rivalry

 

[Captain Haddock]

The brilliant Monsieur Platini

Undoubtedly the Frenchist looking Frenchman that ever did strut their World Cup stuff

 

[Captain Haddock]

Despite having the appearance of one who spends his days sitting on the grass in the Old Steine shouting at pigeons and drinking Tennents Super, Peter Disztl managed to find time to keep goal for Hungary in Mexico 86.

 

[Captain Haddock]

Emilio Butragueno

Kev (with his Mini-Me)

Dennis The Menace

Claudio Gentile (evil bastard)

Jairzinho

 

[Brian Potter]

Jose Batista (seated) along with - that I can see- Roy Aitken (mullet), Steve Nicol (ginger), Graeme Souness (Magnum PI). Not sure who the Scottish player having a snooze on the pitch is.

The "Magnum PI" isn't Souness, it is Willie Miller

 

[Austrian Gull]

The "Magnum PI" isn't Souness, it is Willie Miller

Correct. Can also see Paul McStay and I guess the player having a snooze is Strachan.
