Another legend of the game passes away.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

From a time when I unashamedly loved Brazil. Suzy beautiful beautiful football. Like having a team of Knockaerts.

As for tackles. I rest my case. Lets face it Brazil could play and with serious pace.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72z5H9hkYGM

The 1970 Brazil team was the most flair side ever.

The 1970 Brazil team was the most flair side ever.

Fantastic and those games being played in Mexico where the temperatures were 100°f plus.

A true footballing legend RIP Carlos

[crodonilson]

Up there with the very greatest Brazilians and my word has that country produced some breathtaking talent for the whole world to enjoy, we owe a debt of gratitiude to Alberto and the entire footballing nation for what they've done for our game.

 

[BensGrandad]

Possibly the best right back that ever graced a football pitch.

 

[joeinbrighton]

Still 46 years after it was scored, I can't recall there being a better team goal scored in front of a camera. Timeless.

 

[smudge]

Sad news, my favourite goal ever. Favourite World Cup as well. England even had a great team!

 

[catfish]

The first world cup I remember watching - and the best thanks to that wonderful Brazil team.

 

[Mayonaise]

That Brazil side were the harlem globetrotters of football. That world cup was my first and I fell in love with football in 1970.

RIP to a man whose name truly deserves to live on.

Fantastic and those games being played in Mexico where the temperatures were 100°f plus.

Note the shimmying by Rivelino at the start - one of the greatest players that ever lived

Lovely angles here and great quality. You have to turn the sound down though as the music is dreadful. Clodoaldo's dribbly run around 4 players is still magnificent.

 

[Beach Hut]

RIP

Not only one of the greatest defenders ever he was also in a team of talent the like collectively we may never see again.

Also scored the best ever team goal.
