Lev Yashin Euro 1960 (via thevintagefootballclub)
Here on footysphere we love Lev Yashin - the greatest goalkeeper of all-time and also the instigator of what has turned out to be the World’s largest football tournament - Leather Ball

The legendary Hungarian side that taught England a new way of playing the game back in 1953 at Wembley, including legendary forwards Ferenc Puskás of Madrid and Barcelona’s Sándor Kocsis. (via eenfish)

A great Calcio poster from way back when. Im guessing it must be around 1955-56 as Novara are in the picture. I also love the Lazio player (fascist salute?) and the Roma player who looks like he is about to wipe him out. (via thegentlemanultra)
