My dad saw Duncan Edwards and said he had all the skills and grace of people like Best and Cruyff had but was built like a brick outhouse. Think Edwards was a teenager at the time. Scary to wonder what he could have been but wish I'd seen him.
Also would love to have been at Goodison to watch Eusebio when North Korea irritated him into life. Loads of my family went to that and said they'd never seen a performance like it.
Saw Ball in some testimonial game and his touch and vision were amazing even though his legs had gone. He never stopped running at his peak apparently so I'm gonna bend the rules and if I had chance to watch any of them at their peak it would be him.
