	Didi (football player) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Valdir Pereira or Didì (October 8, 1929-May 12, 2001) was a Brazilian midfield football player who played in three World Cups: in 1954, and winning in 1958 and 1962.
		Born in Rio de Janeiro, he was famous for being and intelligent player and for his "folha seca" ("falling leaf") free kicks, where the ball will swerve seemingly downwards at the right time resulting in a goal.

	BOBBY CHARLTON - International Football Hall of Fame
		Charlton was born in October, 1937, into a football family in the Northumberland mining village of Ashington.
		His mother Cissie was a Milburn, his grandfather and four of his uncles were professional footballers and one of those uncles was the legendary "Wor" Jackie Milburn, Newcastle United and England centre forward.
		They had played some breathtaking football that season, but inexplicably they missed out on honours, their FA Cup run also ending in the semi-finals and finishing fourth in the League.

	The Best x Players of the Century/All-Time
		With the 20th century coming to an end, all kind of experts are publishing their selection of best football players of all time or of this century (which, after all, is essentially the same).
		The start was made by the IFFHS in their continental "player and keeper of the century" elections.
		Players may also be chosen outside the 100 chosen by the magazine; for this purpose World Soccer also published a second list of 100 players which they apparently consider 101-200; choices outside those 200 are accepted as well.

	Appendiix: Glossary of Football Terms and Phrases
		Many outfield players in the colder climates have long worn gloves in the winter months, but they were rarely seen on outfield players in English football until the recent influx of foreign players used to warmer climates.
		A player may be generally fit in the sense that he has recovered from an injury and yet still not match-fit because he has not yet achieved the physical condition required for the rigours of match play.
		A player may also sell the dummy by deceiving the opposition into believing he is going to give the ball to one team-mate when in fact he sends it to another or keeps it himself, perhaps for a shot on goal, the dummy in those cases being a team-mate rather than himself.

	BBC SPORT \| FOOTBALL \| Brazilian legend Didi dies
		Didi, full name Waldir Pereira, was regarded as one of the greatest footballers Brazil has produced and was famous for his long-range shots nicknamed "the dry leaf" which dipped viciously at the last minute.
		In 1950, he became the first player to score at the Maracana, built for the 1950 World Cup which Brazil hosted, in a match between a Rio de Janeiro XI and a Sao Paulo XI.
		The Peruvians delighted the world with their effervescent football and might have gone further than the last eight had they not had the misfortune to meet Brazil's Pele-inspired team in a quarter-final which Brazil won 4-2.

		Their star player Eusebio was in his prime and he had been presented with the European Footballer of the Year trophy just before the kick-off.
		Yet even last season we had players doing more or less nothing to earn their money, ie sitting on the sick list (sorry Jamie Redknapp Lar, I couldn't help it) whilst throughout the nightmare nineties we had players earning a mere ten grand a week complaining that they were underpaid.
		While not the most talented player of his day, he was disciplined, dedicated, reliable, consistent, courageous, resourceful, intelligent and versatile, a wonderful sportsman on the pitch--never sent off or even cautioned--and unfailingly courteous and modest off it.

		If there ever was any doubt (in Brazil, where we who could see other fantastic players like Zizinho, Garrincha, Didi, Rivelino, Falcao, Zico, Romario, Ronaldo, just to name a few, it is almost unanimity that Pele was the best), the movie shows why Pele is the best football player of all time.
		Also, many players talk about Pele (another rarity: footage from another movie where Pele attempts to be an actor, from the early 1960s, showing a young Pele and his Santos´ coleagues).
		But if what you want to see is a collection of the finest goals of the greatest football player of all time, this is a movie not to be missed.
