I read someone write the other day that he is not one of the greats as the quality of the opposition he faced was not good enough.

RIP

Does my memory serve me right in that he came on to the pitch at Pittodrie during the group stages of the Under 16 WC in 1989 ? Brazil played their group games there.

That was obviously read by one of my boys and cast up to me in a discussion recently after Messi finally won a world cup.

I of course told him to stop havering.

The 1970 World Cup was my first real memory of international football.

Gerd Muller was obviously my favourite but Pele was sublime.

I googled it and certainly pictures of him in Aberdeen, but I can't remember him at the games and I was at them, but he may well have. I'm sure someone with a better memory will know.

RIP Pele, the best kind of human to have ever played this game.

Pope Benedict deid now.

It's weird how every year a load of famous people die in the few days after Christmas. It's like they've been hanging on for Christmas and then expire a few days later.

If you are not quite old enough to have personal experience, you'll begin to find this to be a particularly "popular" time of year for it, sadly.

Fair few in here I hadn't know, or had forgotten, about.

A lot of big names and sad losses in there.

Ignore the wifey at the top!

So the Pope's deid, that means the Pope can be Pope now does it?
Because up until now the Pope couldn't be Pope because the Pope wasn't deid.

Clear?

A lot of pysh: "notable".
Those mums, dads, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters and children were all "notable" for those who lost them.
