Redstart Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Who could forget Pele getting a battering all game, goes off injured, comes back on and then despite being half dead, broken shoulder etc. etc. scores with an overhead bicycle kick. They just don't make em like that anymore.........Thank God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I recall him showing his anger at the City fans at Grimsby when we sarcastically cheered our first shot on target, a daisy cutter that bounced six times before it got to their keeper, after 83 minutes of utter crap. If I now went away with City, would I suffer from deja vu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was , he said it at half time when there had the chance of escape through the sewers. Judging by City performances under Russell he must have used “come on lads we can win this” to no avail on more than one occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I remember going around Osman's house, and the only thing on the walls that gave any indication that he used to be a footballer, were pictures from that film. His housekeeper had no idea that he used to be an ex footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Three things I know about Escape To Victory: 1. John Wark was so Scottish, they had to dub him for the cinema 2. Peles bicycle kick was one take 3. Most importantly, Sly Stallone bet Pele he couldn’t score past him. Pele took 10 penalties - Stallone touched one and broke his fingers I never watched the film until I was 22. But I watched that match hundreds of times as a kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich Winger Kevin O’Callaghan was the goalie replaced by Stallone....don’t think they really broke his arm. 5. Laurie Sivell, Ipswich keeper, was the German keeper beaten by Pele.
