Best player in the comp without a doubt.

I think he gets overawed by the occasion at times. Then you don’t know he’s playing.

Plus playing on the pitches we have today, with the boots and balls we have today. Plus the protection skilful players get today. I saw Finney play when he was basically finished and he was still magic.

Saka ? Not for me.

I’m going to ask you the obvious question - did you see both of them play ? I did. When FIFA selected a World 11 to play England in a commemorative game in the early 1960’s DeStefano was selected for that team. If they were picking another World 11 would DeBruyne be in it ?

Me too. A genius on his day. Blackburn’s Messi.

Beckenbauer was absolute class a young midfield player. He moved back to sweeper to prolong his career quite early on. Back in the day DeStefano was brilliant, like DeBruyne only better. He never stopped running. Garrincha was another who could beat teams on his own.

There’s your next shirt Herbie. That was my first Rovers shirt. I wish I still had it, not that I’d be able to wear it. Just one of many shirts I had and never really looked after as a kid. You just wore them never thinking they’d be worth keeping.

Playing out from the back we’ll concede more goals from it than we score from it. I thought JDT called it the “ Dutch disease “ ?

The best player I ever saw. You can argue about who was the second best.

That’s a great shirt. I might be tempted to buy one in the summer. If not for myself but for my grandson. He’s only 16 but he’d need the Coddington or Mulvaney size. Then you see the date on the photo 1969-70 season. Fifty odd years ago ! Where did the time go. Several of those players are no longer with us unfortunately. John Barton looking a fine figure of an athlete on the end. Did goalies actually train back in those days ?

Bertie Auld was a nasty bastard if you got on the wrong side of him. Very spiteful in the tackle.

Sanchez of Chile broke the jaw of an Italian player with a perfect left hook and carried on playing !

I always laugh at that bit were Tommy Gemmell boots that Racing Club player squarely in the nuts.

You need to watch Racing Club v Celtic in the world club championship.

Yep, goal for me.

Exactly, not all of the ball is over all of the line. You need to see an imaginary line dropped down from the edge of the ball.

Yeah, Spain were a bit one dimensional in the second half.

Croatia rode their luck in the last 15 minutes.

Late in the second half of the Argentina - Poland game last night I saw Argentina were lined up in the old 2-3-5 formation.

Yeah, never a pen in a million years. That was a terrible decision.

Err, no.

He’s not been at his best so far but he set Rashford up for that golden chance in the first half and Foden up for his goal tonight. Maybe he’s not 100 % fit but I’d still play him on Sunday. He’s a player most opponents will be wary of and he’s a great penalty taker, if we get one that is.

They’ve got to be - Wales only scored one goal and that was a pen. Senegal qualified for the next round.

We were a lot better but that first half was awful. Like Rovers at the moment - once we score first we’re a threat.
