I say Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) as George Best being from Northern Ireland I think he’s the most gifted from the UK/Ireland. Jimmy Johnstone I’ve only quite recently discovered. His ability is stunning. He did things that are Messi-esque. The close ball control, the effortless...

Had never trawled through our thread on Rawk until today, and came across this (link from a study from our Bramley Moore planning application) In the survey of which team did you support, half were RS, and a quarter support us, “which broadly aligns with the split across the city”. Has the...

I’d been watching YouTube footage of Man United being relegated via Denis Law’s backheel in the mid 1970s, then this popped up as a recommended video... Man United banned in Europe in 1977 due to riots and fighting before a Cup winner cup game in France with 33 people taken to hospital. (BBC...

Was just reading the Wikipedia article on Monty Python. Their influence on comedy is pretty incredible. John Oliver said this, “I first discovered Monty Python when I was probably 10 years old, and back then it felt like something I shouldn’t be watching. That was already a pretty big appeal...

Apparently some US women are squabbling over “equal” pay, complaining the US men get more. The standard of women’s football was an abomination (the US women’s team lost to a junior boys team from Dallas), its in its infancy and in all likelihood won’t make the huge stride needed to hit a quality...

Before the Messi/Cristiano Ronaldo decade of dominance of the worlds best player award there was Kaká, an almost forgotten man. It’s easy to forget just how unbelievably good he was in his prime at Milan. The acceleration and that long stride just saw him glide past players on a regular basis...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48534479 Is that his last chance of winning the Champions League gone? Thought when he went there he had a great chance. That Man U penalty given against them was a travesty. Can see him retiring unless another CL chasing team takes a punt. Think that’s...

The best Youtube video of a player I’ve seen has reminded me why Ronaldo is the greatest. Genuinely, there is nothing from any other player out there that comes close. For the last five or six years I had Messi at #1, Ronaldo at #2 (the next three or four after that would usually be Zidane...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42712179 What a privilege it was to watch one of the most entertaining players the game has ever seen. For three years at Barcelona he was from another planet. His bicycle kick against Villarreal is the goal I remember most because it's the only time ive ever...

The video linked ends it for me. You can't use 'Maradona won the World Cup' when comparing him with Messi. Messi is the greatest I've ever seen. When our very own Peter Reid states of Messi (at 5:30 in the video ) "I don't think he's done it at international level" I almost felt like putting my...

Been watching a lot of the History Channel as well as online stuff about World War 2.There is a video on YouTube (uploaded by a professional organisation as opposed to Joe Bloggs) about Hitler. It lists things people may not know about him, one of which that he was inspired by how Native...

Been watching loads of vids of the 'real' Ronaldo (as Jose Mourinho called him) in his prime (not the fat, podgy version in the 2000s). I remember watching him when he was at Barca where he tore the league apart, then at Inter (Serie A every Sunday on Channel 4) and again he was awesome. He was...

Ok...im a bit of a football anorak. Yep...sad.:P I have almost 50 Video tapes of football from post War onwards (1945) when the games development really took off and improved vastly from the substandard pre War...the game exploded and became global...the quality improved hugely. I have Lots of...
