wanting-to-be-rivelino

I watched a few games in the 1970 World Cup and decided I didn’t care how England got on - I wanted to become like Rivelino, the moustachioed Brazilian midfield player who single-handedly invented the banana shot. I subsequently spent hours in the garden with my dad kicking a ball about. I insisted on trying to bend it like my hero, much to his annoyance. I still can’t kick a ball straight, much to my annoyance.
