Who are other legendary players who you don't hear about enough in today's game?
A bit biased as a Fulham fan, but Johnny Haynes. First £100 a week player, Pele called him the finest passer of the football he'd ever seen, but unfortunately missed the '66 World Cup due to injuries from a car accident.
Biased as an Everton fan, but Alan Ball was one of England's greatest ever midfielders and barely gets a shout outside of Merseyside these days. Dixie Dean is another no-brainer, still holding the first division single-season goal scoring record (60) and all time record (313)
Tom Finney
TheFuckingBanshee I’m no Everton fan, but Dixie Dean deserves a video.
Being biased I wouldn’t mind seeing a Geoff Hurst video. Everyone knows about his goals in the WC final, but little of his career
Carlos Bianchi. Surprisingly few people seem to remember just how insanely good of a goal scorer he was.
A player that really could do it on a wet tuesday night in Stoke.
Danny All I’m a Blackpool fan and I think he was an amazing player for both teams should have more recognition
@@edbutler9937 as a chelsea fan i hope blackpool can get promoted to the premier league
Keyuante Johnson I can only dream 😂
@@edbutler9937 one step closer.
Good luck from a Villa fan.
@@EmeryBall ye I spoke to soon clearly 😂
I'm glad you did one on Sir Stanley. As a young teenager I was given his autobiography by my grandad. A true wizard.
The original 🐐🐐🐐
My father grew up and saw Stanley Mathews play. I remember being little and asking my dad who his favorite ever player was and it was Sir Stanley Mathews. Great vidoe!
Sir Stanley Mathews is up there with Pele and Maradona. In fact, without Stan- football would be nothing without him!
Alfredo di Stefano : *huh?*
@@1607Adi_Manz Stefano is one of the greatest...But Stanley at 50 was one of the best players .
Never knew about him to be honest. As a Latin American we don't get so much coverage from these high quality players of old, much less if they're pre WW2 players. It makes you question what would have been of many of football stars back then if the war didn't happen. Who knows, but anyways, great content as always. You should intercalate between a Latin and an European player/content. Keep it up uMaxit! (Oh god this is going to look terrible when you change your name) Revolutionizing the way we consume football content.
Matthews was the first player to be world famous and was a huge star. Although Tom Finney was just as good a player Matthews flashier style made him a greater idol to the masses and he dominated English football in three decades.
He was still a great player in his 40s but while there isn't much footage of him from the 1930s what there is shows that his legendary skills were then combined with terrifying pace.
This is the best skills vid of him compiled from surviving footage that I've seen: czcams.com/video/lOGNXuie5IQ/video.html
I would have though George Best or Bobby Charlton would have been the first rockstar football players, it's nice to learn new things. I'm currently reading on Tom Finney, the guy has a reputation, will watch for some video recordings if available. Thanks!
He was the Cristiano Ronaldo of his time. He was fast, skillful and popularised the step-over.
You couldn't get the ball off Sir Stanley. He would take it to the touchline every time without fail.
He always said, that if you pass from the touchline, you'll never be given offside.
I'd guess he had twice as many assists than any other player.
Brazil had a brilliant team in 1956, but Matthews just schooled them. And Pele said he was the first modern player.
So yes, one of the greatest.
If all this old generation players had the technology currently, they would be miles ahead of this generation's football.
Players played for the passion of the game and the money was just a bonus.
Back then World class players were spread around the world not like currently where the best players are only in the best clubs.
Obviously the best players are going to play for the best clubs lol
Albin Lundholm what I mean is that even the average teams had one or two world class players, which made the matches unpredictable.
"Albin Lundholm what I mean is that even the average teams had one or two world class players, which made the matches unpredictable."
Yes, I think this is a good thing. I think the ease with which clubs buy players from all over the world, while initially exciting, does detract from the spectacle of seeing amazing players rise up at unglamorous clubs.
If Matthews were playing today, he'd have been off to Madrid at 21, played too many games, got injured, then got sold to Palermo and never been heard from again!
Words can't begin to describe the legend
Please do one on John Charles. No one ever talks about him, but they should.
Need him on fifa 😱
Right...
I was born into a Blackpool supporting family just 2 weeks after he died, and so I was subsequently named after him - what a player, deserves way more praise than he already gets
Matt johnson or matthew johnson?
@@basedcataphract5852 Matthew of course
Excellent well done,informative,respectul and entertaining.Thanks,how about one on Garrincha?He had an eventful life off the field and died in poverty.However thousands lined the streets at his funeral.
Love Sir Stanley Matthews's playing style
The Wizard Of Dribble A Genius Stoke City Legend
as a chelsea fan i hope stoke can return to the premier league
It will be interesting if you made a video about Stanley matthews tactical evolutions.
He went from the era of kick and rush as outside right onto the era of winger-midfielder
Kudos sir... goosebumps after watching this!! Please if possible make video of Socrates!! Brazilian!
A piece on Platini would be good,great player.We tend to forget he played,we seem to just think of him as an official at FIFA/UEFA.This has tarnished his rep IMO.
How about doing one of these on Jimmy Greaves? Probably England's greatest ever CF.
I'll second that sir!
Millenial don't realise that Kane couldn't of carried Jimmy Greaves jockstrap!!!
Legend ❤️
Legendary
The Shankly/Paisley era at Liverpool.
Fantastic video, but the background music is just MAGICAL. So wistful. So emotive.
Brilliant content
Billy Meredith please. Loved this video!
I would like to say thank you umaxifootball for being the best and the greatest CZcams video of all time in history, the series is getting better and better everyday, keep up the good work, you deserve it as a mark of respect ❤️!
Thank you for your kind words Joseph! - Danny
Your welcome Umaxifootball 👍
Brilliant documentary thank you
As a Blackpool fan he is basically a God
Stanley Mathews is in my family and so happy :)
This is the good ol' football that we sorely miss in today's age, where endorsement and merchandising is more important than the game itself!
Slightly ironic that you posted this under a video of one of the first players to do product endorsements...
I caught the end of Billy Bond's playing carer. I thought 42 was ancient, but 50!? ! Blimey, I don't think that will ever be achieved again.
Love this guy
Another great video from uMaxit Football or shall I say Tifo👏..please do a tactical profile of Lorenzo Insigne!
Love your videos #tifo
Favorite CZcams channel 👌
Legend...
Do one about giuseppe meazza please
Please do brief history about shankly's liverpool

Who here are from stoke?
you a stoke fan
Keyuante Johnson My dad is, Im for Nottingham Forest (Im native to Nottingham)
@@Edwardop as a chelsea fan i hope both stoke and Nottingham forest return to the premier league
Dixie dean
He never played in a WC finals ? Did he not participate for England in their disastrous campaign in Brazil in 1950? Blackpool lost to Man Utd in the '48 FA Cup Final ,not in '49.
The Wizard of Dribble. Is a horrible nickname & whoever came up with that gave done this man a diservice.
