Re: GMs Birthday Soon-ish
In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 967):
That is a really good movie.
Also stars Bobby Moore, Osvaldo Ardiles, Kazimierz Deyna, Paul Van Himst, Mike Summerbee, Hallvar Thoresen, Werner Roth and Pelé.
Bobby Moore was a member of the 1966 England World Cup Winning Team, and an English legend.
Osvaldo Ardiles was Argentine and played in England during the Falklands war. There's a really good 30 for 30 movie about him.
Werner Roth played for the New York Cosmos and is a legend here in the states. Played as a Center Back. Sadly, played during the 1950 - 1990 era where the USMT were virtually nonexistent. They played 3 maybe 4 times a year, and usually sucked.
Kaz Denya played for the Polish National Team and was an excellent mid fielder. He played in the old NASL with the San Jose Earthquakes. He was part of the Poland Team that came in 3rd at the 1978 world Cup.
Paul Van Himst is a Belgium legend. HE played striker, for Anderlecht, the Belgium powerhouse. He played in 433 games, scoring 233 goals, which is 53.8% strike rate.
Mike Summerbee is an English player who was a striker / Winger. He played with Manchester City from 1965 to 1975.
Hallvar Thoresen was a Norwegian Attacking Midfielder. Had is most success with PSV in Holland. He played 179 games and scored 106 goals for them.
And, then of course, there is PELE, the greatest player of all time.
