    Amazing player, one of the smartest guys in the game, had some radical ideas about how to improve it.  Committed smoker though.

    One of those players who,like Bobby Moore and Beckenbaur, could make the difficult look so simple. RIP.

    A large part of my falling in love with football was the 1982 World Cup and I will always associate him with that.  Very sad.

    RIP

    Smoked 60 fags a day and was a piss artist of note. Guess that catches up with you in the end. Great player - remember him in 82, By God that was a great Brazil side.

    Riiiiiight. Just like when I used to knock around with a bloke a few years back who once drank 15 pints in a day and ate only a ham sandwich - then when he spent the next morning cuddling the bog and hurling up his stomach lining, blamed it on the sandwich...

    My love of football began with that 82 world cup. Remember as a kid watching a highlight video of the world cup over and over again. Brazil were my heroes, Falcao, Junior, Eder, Serginho, Oscar etc. Socrates and Zico were my favourites.

    RIP
