He only finally retired in 1979, I learn now. He's a definitive black & white era star for me, I have trouble translating him to the modern game.

I love the colour footage from the old World Cup films. Feel like he's probably not especially well-served by this reel, seeing the Brazil goalie and especially as the voiceover calls it 'fifa world cup' all the way through. The North Korea game must've been something else though - see also his second against Brazil, and the reducer for the penalty vs NK.
