A Great,Great Player!

How Eusebio seems to be so under-rated in England is no mystery. With strength and skill in abandunce he was a striker who's ability transcended his era and was eclipsed only by the flair and popularity of pele. When the legendary brazilian's injury ruled him out of the '66 World Cup, the world was able to take solace in the next best thing and Eusebio had his chance to steal the headlines. Unfortunately for Eusebio England forgot him when they won the competition as did the rest of the world who pointed out that due to 'that linesman' perhaps we didn't deserve to. Another disappointment for a great footballing individual, but justifiable jubilation for a great footballing nation.
