Notes

When I was a lad in the sixties we only really got to see the great foreign players in football annuals and magazines.
But I recall my dad saying the name Di Stefano and how great he was,so I’d pretend to be him when playing over the fields now and then.
Eusebio,Puskas,now Di Stefano,three names from an era I say was the best. Now these three were legends !
