Pele*, Milla and Hurst

* lots of other Brazilian players who we saw only in the WC, too numerous to mention and cant remember their names

 

[Pell]

Geoff Hurst.

El Hadji Diouf and Salif Diao both got moves to Liverpool off the back of a good World Cup. Both didn't do much at club level.

Weren’t Liverpool going to buy anelka then hadji diouf had a decent World Cup and they bought him off the back of that.

Roger milla. Probably the most famous World Cup player. That dance in the corner flag replicated around play grounds and parks all summer 1990.
