Having that twat Keys as narrator is a bit annoying but aside from that it's a good watch. I've been recording them on Sky+ and watching them back. Seen Raul, Kenny, Garrincha, Ronaldinho and Cryuff so far. Never tire of watching clips of any of those guys.

I've missed Kenny and Raul but the others have been brilliant.

 

I loved the Garrincha episode so much I've started to read the Roy Castro book again.

Pity they haven't got more footage of Garrincha, he is amazing. I will deffo have to get that book as I've heard it's a cracking read.

Never seen the Garincha episode of this but I remember the BBC done a programme before the 2006 World Cup on Brazil. 'More than a game' it was called. Anyways, he was a cracking player, but he was as bad as George Best for going on the drink.

 

During their playing days he was far, far worse Rob.

Smashed more women and Goats,drank more and was a better player than Best.All while having legs twisted and deformed from Polio.

Just look at some of his nicknames,tells you everything about the man.

Alegria do Povo (Joy of the People) and Anjo de Pernas Tortas (Angel with Bent Legs).The home dressing room at the Maracana is called Garrincha.

For me he is there with Maradona ad the most naturally gifted individual player ever.
