Lotus Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Have enjoyed listening to Gus Poyet's analysis of games. Been very insightful. Seems to really know his stuff and can pinpoint things in an instructive way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

summerof69 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Just a little bit of football history http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/google-doodle-celebrates-fancy-footwork-of-footballer-leonidas-da-silva-8801116.html Today's Google Doodle features a frame-by-frame sketch of Brazilian footballer Leonidas da Silva performing a 'bicycle kick' on what would have been his 100th birthday. Click on the gallery above to see a collection of recent Doodles. Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1913, the player was seen as the inventor of the bicycle kick after first using it in a 1932 match between his club Bonsucesso and Carioca. The unusual move caught on and was most notably used during his time playing for São Paulo in a 8-0 victory over Juventus. He played for Brazil's national team 19 times, scoring 21 goals and continued to delight spectators with his acrobatic displays on the pitch until his retirement from the game in 1950. In his later years he managed São Paulo before quitting football to become a radio reporter. He died in 2004 after complications arising from Alzheimer's disease.

Oakie Doke Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Kinnear invented the bicycle kick and then coined the term bicycle kick. Later that day he invented the bicycle because no-one knew what he was on about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Interestingly, over here we credit a Spanish-born Chilean as the inventor of the bicycle kick and that's why in Spanish we call it "La chilena". A "bicycle" in Spanish football slang is a stepover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, called that way because Argentina scored it against the then-Olympic champions Uruguay in the 1920s, and used the word to mock them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
