Brilliant to read and see man. Thanks.

If I could draw like you I might tackle his fight with Uruguay vs Colombia… standing over his peers like a famous Greco-Roman warrior. Ajax, Achilles...

Fascinating player. I wish he was still around.

Thanks for having a look! Yeah he was fascinating. I always think back to Barney Ronay describing him as like watching a stallion trample a beach ball

lol that’s brilliant.

Imagine getting rid of him the year the beach ball stallions themselves, Sunderland, come back up! 😂

… and thus began the story that he was crap at his near post. It was all the beach ball’s fault I tell ya!
