Football in the 60s is far more relatable to the football I grew up watching compared to the 70s or 80s where it was just hoof ball played on a mud patch.

Three Ballon Dor winners.

Incredible.

I always enjoyed Barney Curleys yarn about working in Manchester aged 15 with his dad. Working two shifts a day but they’d take every second Saturday afternoon off to watch Manchester United play.

Law didn’t play in that final. I absolutely loved him in my history of man united vhs I got as a junior footix.
Bergkamp was named after him I think.
‘He was fearless and he could score goals’

‘Their relegation was confirmed in a curious crestfallen and chaotic manner.’
And denis has done it! No elation there at all from denis law…

United are a bit of a laughing stock now but they have some history and romance behind them as a club.
Three ballon d’or winners in five years :exploding_head:

The biggest draw in football…

RIP. A proper legend of the game.

Never saw him play and know no one that saw him but they don’t hand out Ballon D’Ors for nothing

He was a skinny fucker with a wonky eye from childhood. His greatest attribute was that he was utterly fearless in an era of uncompromising defenders.
On top of that he had the strikers ultimate weapon - presence. He was inevitably right there when it rebounded off the post or the defenders shins and with either foot or head he did the needful.

Didn’t Michael Owen get one?
