Lev Yashin

For those of my generation who are interested in Football, here is a great article about the life and times of Lev Yashin, a wonderful goalkeeper.

I remember him well, highly regarded at the time by football fans everywhere.

Don't forget the link, Canary.
I remember the man in Black to.

Ooops, sorry.

Great link that, Canary.

Thanks, yes I thought so, including several non-football events on the timeline which brought back recollections (specially the Cuba Crisis).

That's a great report. I remember Lev Yashin too. A great keeper. Just a slight diversion away from him; in that report, he played for a World XI against England in 1963, which England won 2-1. The report doesn't tell you that Denis Law was the scorer of the goal for the World XI. Trust a Scot!
