In the year that is about to pass, world football has lost many faces that fans once knew, and their passing has deeply immersed fans in grief. In 2006 they were gone, but what was left for football is always worth remembering by the fans.
The first bad news of this year is the death of La Liga legendary goalscorer King Sara, as the top scorer in the history of La Liga, Sala played for Bilbao for 15 years, he scored 251 goals in 277 games, the most goals scored in La Liga so far, he has been named top scorer 6 times, this record is still unmatched. And his record of 38 goals in the league in the 1950/51 season was not equalized by Real Madrid striker Hugo Sanchez until the 1989-90 season, but the Mexican played five more games than him to complete the result. Because of his appearance, Bilbao has the capital to compete with Barcelona and Real Madrid. Sarah died in his apartment in Bilbao on February 23 of this year at the age of 85.
Fans of the British Isles, who had not yet recovered from the pain of George Best's death, mourned three famous stars in the following months. Peter Osgood, affectionately known as the "King of Stamford Bridge" by Chelsea fans on 1 March, died at the age of 59, and as one of the greatest players in Chelsea history, Osgood played 286 games for Chelsea and scored 105 goals. In the 1969/70 FA Cup, Oosgood scored in nine games to help Chelsea win the title, which is unique in the FA Cup, and a year later he and his teammates helped Chelsea beat Real Madrid in the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup to win the first European trophy in Chelsea's history. Also on the 13th of this month, Scottish fans bid farewell to former Celtics star Jimmy Johnstone, who died at the age of 61. As a midfielder, Johnstone scored 130 goals in 498 games to help the team usher in the Celtic era in Scottish football, including helping the Scottish Celtics win the first European Champions Cup trophy on the island of Great Britain in the 1967 Championship Trophy, and it was in the final that the Celtics beat Inter Milan with his goal. He also led the Celtics to nine consecutive Scottish League titles between 1966 and 1974, a record that was not equaled by their rivals Rangers until the 1990s.
Former Everton player Brian Raboni, England's most famous centre-back, represented England in 26 international matches and accompanied England in the 1970 World Cup in Mexico. He made 534 appearances for Everton in all competitions in England from 1958 to 1971 and helped Everton win the 1962/63 and 1969/70 League first-class titles, but 25 April 2006 was a painful day for all English fans, with Brian Raboni dying of illness at the age of 66.
On September 4, 2006, Giacinto Facetti, who pioneered the concept of an attacking full-back, died of illness at Milan at the age of 64. A truly great left-back, Facsetti was captain of the "Great Nations Era" and captain of the Italian national team in the 1960s, and in his playing career he helped Inter Milan, winning four Serie A titles, two Intercontinental Cups, two European Champions Cups and two Italian Cups, scoring 75 goals for Inter Milan in 634 matches in his career. He made 94 appearances for the national team, 70 of which he played as captain. After retiring from the club he held various positions at Inter Milan and was elected president of the club in January 2004, the first person in Inter Milan history to be successfully elected president from a player. As the founding father of attacking full-backs, Facchetti can be said to have made an indelible contribution to the development of football.
This month before the death of Puskas, South American football also lost a legendary scorer, on November 3, the famous scorer Alberto Spencer died of a heart attack in the United States, at the age of 68, Spencer was born in Ecuador, his father is Jamaican, his mother is Ecuadorian, he and Alex Aguinaga are considered the best players in the Ecuadorian league. Spencer began his legendary career in 1960 after joining Uruguayan giants Penalore. At Penaroll, Spencer set many records, including three Copa Libertadores titles in 1960, 1961 and 1996, and was named top scorer with seven goals at the inaugural Copa Libertado in 1960, and between 1960 and 1972, Spencer scored 54 goals in the Copa Libertadores, becoming the most goals-scoring player in the history of the Copa Libertado, far ahead of the second-ranked Fernando Morena's 37 goals. Of those 54 goals, 48 were scored for Peñarol and the other six for Ecuador Barcelona at the end of his football career.
