Seen all of John Toshacks games for Cardiff City at Ninian Park, and a few away games too.

Bobby Moore (England v Wales) 3 or 4 times (WHU v Cardiff City - 1965-66 FLC Semi-Final)
Franz Beckenbauer (West Germany v Wales) once
George Best (Northern Ireland v Wales) once
Billy Bremner (Scotland v Wales) a couple of times

Saw George Best when he was at Hibs, Eck.
Pittodrie was packed that day but, as I recall, he had a bit of an off day...

If by Bremner you mean he of Leeds fame, then I have had the honour of being told by him, to my face, to f**k off

I wonder if it was my Derby scarf that upset him?

You forgot to include the Great Derek Dougan in that list did you not Eck ?
This pic of the great George Best was taken at Molineux early 70s ,you can just about se my head at Georges right elbow guy with the short hair and black beared, the game was a 1-1 draw with Besty scoring Uniteds goal.

I also saw both Pele & Eusebio in World Cup game at Goodision Park 66 ,was the only game i attended during those WC games and i can still recall my elder brother telling me you must get down to Goodison because you may never se a WC in England again in your life time ,how right that has proved to be.

The best player i have ever seen......without a dought Bobby Charlton.

I call being taken to The Victoria Ground, Stoke in the late 60's/early 70's by my father to see Manchester United and .George Best. Don't remember anything of the game except I spent the game sat on my father's shoulders. I must have been about 6 or 7.

Think i also might have seen Billy Bremner at the Golden Palace around the same time.

Saw a very young Diego Maradona playing for Argentina against England in 1979.

Saw Johann Cruyff playing for New York Cosmos at Stamford Bridge in 1978.

Saw John Toshack playing for Liverpool against Palace at Selhurst Park in 1973 - the first match I ever attended.

Met George Best outside Selhurst Park in the early 1980s when we were both going to see a Crystal Palace league cup match.

Georgie as a young kid but hazy memories.Watched ihim playing a 5 a side game before Sir Matt Busbys testimonial game,everytime he got the ball the atmosphere in the ground and air of expectancy is something i've never experienced before or since....
Ditto Bremner/Moore(would have been at games involving man utd but young at the time,i do remember toshack playing (although not happy memories for obvious reasons!)
Watched Maradona twice v United,european cup winners cup quarter final in 1984,didn't do much and a certain Bryan Robson stole the show....
I went to Eusebios testimonial in Lisbon,1992 Benfica 1 United 0,Eric Cantonas 1st United game....

Pele
Maradonna
Cruyff
Beckenbaur
Best - at Goodison
Bobby Moore - at Goodison
Bremner - at Goodison
Toshack - at Goodison and Anfield
Eusebio - introduced to the crowd Everton v Benfica

Pele and Beckenbauer played 66 World Cup at Goodison - I wasn't there. Cruyff must have played for Ajax at Anfield late 60s. Don't think Maradona had the pleasure of Liverpool on a wet Wednesday.
