Nah not great goals, show me great tackles!

In the spirit of the Euro just passed I watched Three Lions on Youtube, it's a brilliant song and an amazing football anthem, but anyway one thing that really stood out was during the end of the music video where they are recreating events from matches and the tackle that Pearce and Baddiel do is sublime.

Wondering who did that tackle I did some research, and it was none other then, Bobby Moore against Jairzhino/Brazil 1970 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDG047BvFjQ

To me, a football casual I can't imagine better than that.

When I saw the thread title, that is exactly the tackle that sprang to mind.

I remember watching that game and laughing for a good 5 minutes after Boris' tackle

Don't watch if you don't want to see a pretty horrific tackle. Disgusted by this guy.

Was it Ben Thatcher who did that cracker on Mendes?
