Eusebio da Silva Ferreira

[Lena & Harry Smith]

We have just seen the sad news that Portugese Footballer Eusebio , considered one of football's greatest players of all time, has died at the age of 71
We both saw him play in the semi final and Harry in the final when England won the World Cup 1966. We remember how we stood holding our breath in the semi final's last minutes because it was Eusebio who was the constant threat throughout the game. after the final whistle, the loud speakers announced.. Wembley has never been like this, how true, it never has been since.
R.I.P. Eusebio Da Silva Ferreira.
