Simon Clifford is a visionary, whos been to some extent "fucked over" to say the least by the English game.All these great players and world cup winners are his friends and back his ideas because they know he is trying to spread the right way for young players to develop. As for Tim Vickery like you guys say the best journalist we have in England no question.His writing , topics and even listening to his enthusiastic voice educate us on the football going we are not always aware of.. a pleasure
One of my all time fave players in 82 world cup I was 13 and saw Socrates for first time blew me away a magician I tried to copy him in fact that whole team with Zico Eder Falcao Junior the list reads like football god's I'm so glad I was able to see them the best team not to win the world cup things different now for me I'm 51 now the magic went as soon as money grabbers got involved rest easy Socrates you are still very missed
