Brian Glanville penned the spark
Illusion in classic Hummell
Laudrup, Prince of Denmark

Five La Liga’s in a row
“Was the greatest” proclaimed Stoickov
“El Genio” thought Zamorano

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Enriched by number 9’s genius
flawless Catalonian roulette
Cruyff chose his mirror image
More poetic than native Hamlet

Solo dribble against Uruguay
“The memory be green”
“Season your admiration for a while”
