best footballer not to be involved in the world cup has to be George Best, if he was a Brazilian he would have been known as one of the best players in the world ever, that means on par with Pele, Cruyf, Maradonna

[spondulick]

couldn't argue with you except for one,henry cooper great on british and european scene at the time but with the likes of liston, clay, and patterson plying their trade at that time no.not heavy enough for a start most of his fight weights were between 13 and 13 and a half stone also suffered from too many cuts,his only claim to fame in world boxing was the knockdown of clay when clay was a great young brash upcoming boxer.

According to wiki Baresi didn't even play a minute during that World Cup and ended up with a winners medal.
