Early 1970s Ajax their own interpretation of the 'team photo' Shoot! 14/04/1973, who did it with texts below.
13 June 1926, France beat Yugoslavia in Colombes by 4 goals to 1. The two captains are Paul Nicolas and Dusan Petkovic. Jules Devaquez (often written Dewaquez) is on the right.
14 October 1972: Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bayern (2-1). 17-year-old Karl-Heinz Körbel in his first ever BL game (vs. Gerd Müller). Körbel would play for Eintracht until 1991 in 602 Bundesliga games (a record). The other players in this picture from left to right: Willi Hoffmann, Franz Beckenbauer, Jürgen Kalb and referee Paul Kindervater.

An exhausted Gerd Müller and Giacinto Facchetti exchanging their shirts after the 1970 World Cup semi final Germany v Italy 3-4 (a.e.t.):
A scene from a 1948 West German league game. I wonder if the player on the ball is the outside left who got past the right back or whether the player on the ball is the right back that took the ball off the outside left ....
Karl Mai? 9⃣0⃣ Jahre wäre der berühmteste Fußballer, den die SpVgg je hervorgebracht hat, heute geworden. Karl "Charly" Mai! Von 1948-1958 bei der SpVgg Fürth, holte 1954 mit der Deutschen Nationalmannschaft in Bern den ersten WM-Titel nach Deutschland. #kleeblatt pic.twitter.com/cUYFG7S5GK— SPVGG GREUTHER FÜRTH (@kleeblattfuerth) July 27, 2018
Scene from Austria v France 05 October 1958 (1-2) involving Walter Horak (Austria) and Dominique Colonna (French goalkeeper). Who are the other two French players?
Despite being two players almost the same age, between the first World Cup won by Pelé and the first won by Dino Zoff 24 years passed, they are the youngest and oldest player to be world champions
I put three photos of Di Stéfano, Pelé and Maradona before they were professionals. Alfredo di Stéfano as a youth in Imán, is the one in the background Pelé playing for Baquinho de Baurú, in the foreground crouching in front of the others. Diego Armando Maradona in his time of the Cebollitas.
Today we go with players who gave everything for their teams even if this delivery cost them their own health: Terry Butcher suffered a big cut to the head in a Sweden-England qualifying for Italy'90, but far from retiring he endured the whole game ending it in this way: Franz Beckenbauer ended up playing the so-called Match of the Century with his arm in a sling. It was the semifinals of Mexico'70 against the Italian team: José Martínez Pirri played the final of the Copa del Generalísimo (current Copa del Rey) with a broken clavicle and a fever of 40º. For this reason, Santiago Bernabéu awarded him the 1st Laureada in the history of Real Madrid (the Laureada is the most important distinction that Real Madrid gives to its players and so far only two players have received it in all of history, the aforementioned Pirri and Goyo Benito, who died this past year). The image corresponds to the aforementioned final, and not to the 1971 Cup Winners' Cup final against Chelsea, where Pirri played again with a broken clavicle: As a curiosity to say that none of the three protagonists of the previous photos managed to win their respective matches.
I wanted to make a clarification regarding the Laureadas given by Real Madrid to their players. Historically, Pirri and Benito are always named as the only players who have received it (the press in most cases only refers to these two players) but it is true that on other websites it is said that more players have been awarded with this distinction. But thanks to an investigation by CIHEFE (a body for historical and statistical research on Spanish football), the list of winners appears, although one of them is not very clear and the researchers do not rule out that there may be more players distinguished with the club's Laureada. The truth is that it is incredible that Real Madrid does not have it clear to which players it has given this distinction. The badge has been received by: - Pirri - Gento - Agustín Domínguez (He was not a player, he belonged to the club's organization chart) - Benito - Santillana - Di Stéfano - Camacho - Molowny. Here things are not entirely clear and it is not known if he received the Laureada or another distinction from the club. Since Molowny, more than 30 years have passed and no player (that is known) has earned the highest distinction from Real Madrid. In these years there was talk that Raúl could receive it but in the end it was not done. https://www.cihefe.es/cuadernosdefutbol/2020/10/las-laureadas-del-real-madrid/
I upload this photo in this thread simply because there is a big "design" error in it. The photo appeared a few years ago in a report by Diario As of Spain. What error is it? It is very easy to know.
Since no one has given an answer, I give it. The first photo is colored from an original black and white photo. The original photo is as follows: If the photo had been colored correctly, the colors that should appear would be the following: Diario As made the serious mistake of coloring Inter Milan with the colors of its greatest rival, AC Milan. The player who jumps for Real Madrid is Carlos Santillana and he does so over an Inter Milan legend such as Alessandro Altobelli. In this link in the section Real Madrid legends Nº18 you can see the wrong photo: https://as.com/futbol/2020/09/11/reportajes/1599802262_567941.html Also here on slide Nº 18: https://as.com/futbol/2016/09/09/album/1473436972_764038.html They have been making this mistake for years and they do not correct it. The image I think corresponds to the first leg of the semifinals of the European Cup of the 1980/81 season that faced Real Madrid and Inter Milan and that ended with a 2-0 victory for Real Madrid. The photo corresponds to the 1-0 scored by Santillana (second 37 of the video, where you can see that the colors of the Inter goalkeeper do not match in the photo with the ones he actually wore).
I think Inter wore blue shorts in that match. I remember they wore blue shorts very briefly around that time/era.
That's right, in the video it looks perfectly. In the photo with the Inter blue colors, the pants have been black but it should be blue. The goalkeeper's shirt, as I said before, does not match reality either.
In 1929 in the Spanish Cup a match was played that has gone down in history as “The Water Final”. The final faced Español and Real Madrid and ended with a 2-1 victory for Español. Seeing the state of the playing field, that game should never have been played but the authorities were afraid that there would be public disturbances if the game was suspended since thousands of fans from Madrid and Barcelona had traveled to Valencia (venue of the final) and because of this fear of possible disturbances, the game ended up being played even though the field was absolutely impractical.
The best player born on the African continent is Eusebio da Silva Ferreira whose country of origin was Mozambique. Born in 1942 Eusebio could not play internationally with his country of birth since in those years Mozambique was a Portuguese colony. However, Eusebio was able to play in his hometown, Lourenço Marqués (currently Maputo) in a team that was a subsidiary of Benfica's biggest rival, a club where Eusebio became a world star. The rival, of course, is Sporting Lisboa and the team in which Eusebio played was Sporting Lourenço Marques. I upload three photos from that time where it is very curious to see Eusebio with Sporting colors since the Mozambican team used the same colors as Sporting Lisbon. (of the players in the front row he is the second from the right) With his hometown team, he played 42 league games and scored 77 goals, giving him an average of 1.83 goals per game (played there between 15 and 18 years of age).
