Summary
The World Cup has a funny habit of throwing up the most surprising heroes who write themselves into folklore, stay with us for decades – and then, inexplicably, go on to do absolutely nothing else!
Marcus, Jim and Vish celebrate some of the very best nations and players who have been there once and called it quits. From the man who scored five goals in a single World Cup game, to the South Korean star who became better known for presenting the TV show ‘Four Wheeled Restaurant’ – it’s all right here. This one’s for you, Toto Schillaci.
