downendcity Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Saw the Eintract Frankfurt match on telly as a youngster ( don't know if it was live or highlights) and was struck by how massive the Hampden goalposts were. They were some team and to have Puskas and Di Stefano, would be like having Messi and Ronaldo in the same team today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 This should give some idea - My favourite is the outrageous flick by Puskas on 1' 24". Loved that. I have to say that I was impressed by the sheer pass of some of their football, when you watch old stuff these days it can seem quite pedestrian against todays standards, but some of those players looked like they would have no trouble (if they could be transported here by time machine ).
