Houston Canary 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Ian Rush was the name I was thinking of too. How about the FIFA footballer of the year a while back who was from Costa Rica? Don''t know his name, but did CR make the World Cup with him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted October 23, 2009 never knew di stefano never played at the World Cup.Eric cantona didnt.. partly due to france being Crap in the late 80''s and early 90''s and partly due to the fact he argued with Platini and Jaquet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Duncan Edwards, George Best and Alfredo Di StefanoHow Di Stefano didn''t play in 1 is incredible, scored 216 league goals in 262 games for the great Real Madrid side of the 50''s and 60s alongside Puskas, represented Argentina, Colombia and Spain at international level"The first World Cup in which he would have been able to participate was the 1950 tournament. As Argentina refused to participate, di Stéfano (aged 24) missed his first chance at playing in the World Cup.For the 1954 World Cup, Argentina did not enter and FIFA declared di Stéfano was not eligible to play because he had previously been capped by both Argentina and Colombia.[citation needed]He acquired Spanish citizenship in 1956, and played four World Cupqualifying matches for Spain in 1957, but the team failed to qualifyfor the 1958 World Cup.In 1961, di Stéfano (36) who had already won 5 European Cups, helped Spain qualify for the World Cup of 1962. A muscular injury just before the competition prevented him from playing in the finals.[8] He retired from international play after that." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,902 Posted October 23, 2009 [quote user="NCFC_Shaun"]George Best? Did he ever play at one? Surely thats got to be the winner.[/quote]I would think he''s the best Shaun. But an ex City player who''d be in with a shout is Ronald Tudor Davies. Sir Matt Busby once described him as the best centre forward in Europe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
