Has anyone around here seen Eusebio play? He is said to be one of Portubal's best (if not even THE BEST) football players ever. I'm starting this discussion to celebrate Eusebio's 66th Birthday. I want to wish him "Happy Birthday!" and to thank him for contributing to world football history. You can read about his career at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eus%C3%A9bio

I haven't seen him playing live of course but him Di Stefano and Puskas I think were the top player of the 40's-50's since they are the players that we mostly hear about when there is an documentary about football back then... At Portugal I think he is still the top player ever but C.Ronaldo might be able to make a bigger name than Eusebio if he continues having a good career...

I don't know about C. Ronaldo becoming a bigger name than Eusebio in the Portuguese football... I think he also needs international honors to achieve that. And I don't see Portugal winning any medals in the near future...

that's why I said "might be able"... It's like some players in the 90's only a couple of them managed becoming legends... (Zidane,Romario etc) we'll be able to tell in around 10 years if could be as good eusebio...
