I was aware of him briefly before but was only 9 in 1998 so too young to appreciate and was harder to see foreign football back then. But after that world cup I was an ultra fan of his for life. Remember being gutted when all the final drama happened with him. They were definitely the first non-black pair of football boots I remember. Was the Brazil/Nike advert at the airport for WC 1998? I was 8 at WC 1998, but from memory can remember the teacher in our primary school wheeling in the TV to let us watch England v Tunisia. The Romanian's playing in bleached hair. Owen and Bergkamp's wondergoals v. Argentina. Chile's red strip with the giant rebook logo across it. Tino being sent home by Colombia. Maybe because we're getting older and it's natural to think everything is shitter now, but I definitely feel like the quality of footballers back then piss all over the majority of today's players give or take one or two.

Remember being gutted when all the final drama happened with him. This is the ultimate footballer to me. Perfect balance of what makes a player great. Other players have been better, others have done it longer but if I could build a football it's this. Strong, explosive, quick, skilful, balance etc. - even being Brazilian and sponsored by Nike is ultmate. They re-released this shirt for like £150. Taking the piss. It sold out quickly too.

Was kinda hoping we could mess around with it and check out that wild knucklebally movement. But he’s put the whole thing in a glass display case now anyway, so it’s basically a museum piece.

My brothers and I used to get the (official or otherwise) ball every World Cup and then proceed to play them until they popped. The gift was a nod to that .

The College Dropout Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 There was a fifa out at that time that I enjoyed. Maybe PES. Newcastle were a good 4.5 star team. Just had to get the ball to Hatem. That was the tactic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
