A fantastic team/squad.The whole Brazil team were the stars in 1970 !!
Because Jairzinho scored in every game though, is why I have made him the star.

Wasn't he the right winger for that team?A fantastic team/squad.

I was about 14 years old for World Cup 1970 and I was mesmerized by him and the Brazil team.
Along with City being one of the top English sides at that time,it cemented my love for the beautiful game.

I remember Banks' incredible save against Pele and the fact that Jairzinho scored in each match.

Pele,Cruyff and Beckenbauer until Maradona came along.
The above 3 played in great teams and were brilliant players.
Maradona brilliant but dragged 2 average teams to World Cup finals.
That 86 performance was amazing.The best by any individual I have seen.
So now it is Maradona followed by the other 3.
Cruyff dragged a team that didnt have directors to triple european cups on the trot trot...after his performances in '74 taking brazil apart they had to put a gun to his head to ensure he wasnt participating again.

3x World Cup winner. Ridiculous santos and Brazil national team scoring stats. I wasn’t alive when he played but the stats don’t lie. The guy was clearly a monster of a player.
