[585 = never give up]

Tony Green.
I wore his number 8 shirt at a trial during a thunderstorm at SG. I was so in awe of the shirt, that I had an off day and was hooked off at half time - oh what could have been!

 

[585 = never give up]

Paul Mariner
Colin Greenall for Pool.

Paul Mariner (RIP) played at Chorley with my best mate, who has been assisting a US based writer with a book about Paul's football history. The book will be published in about a month and sadly Paul isn't about to read it. Another victim of horrid cancer.

 

[585 = never give up]

Roger Hunt

Roger is a real gent who had a haulage business in Culcheth (Warrington) where he still lives (he's a mate of Tony Green's).
Sadly Roger's health is in decline.

For me it's got to be Pele I remember him getting kicked out of the 1966 World Cup at Goodison Park with the worst cynical play you could imagine.

1970 brought for me the best the World Cup with that magical Brazilian side with so many great players and Pele was Pele ,
