I was there. You could see the remnants of his England career leaving his body as the ball bobbled out of play. (Geoff Thomas, by the way, is one of the nicest blokes in football, this miss must haunt him)
Pele missed an open net after he rounded the keeper without touching the ball, people just forget that because they were so astounded by his piece of skill in the first place!
@keversroperson Oh yeah, he was a great player and big part of Palace punching well above their weight in the early 90's . Even the best missed sitters. They just never show Pele shooting over an open goal from 3 yards out, you KNOW he must have done it loads though.

Sir Geoff Thomas...enough said.

I once tried to do the same as Geoff Thomas but instead ended up putting the ball into the net. 😞
had that near miss against uruguay gone in it would have to be a contender for greatest goal ever
geoff thomas brilliant running.... can he finish ER NO!!!
Didn't David Hirst and Alan Shearer both make debuts vying to be the next great England striker...
That team had Nigel Clough in it...
@DrJReefer Well, if you look up 'pele was shite' on TH-cam here...
Who is here cos of Fred's attempted lob

Great run, but Unfortunately he was bad at KICKING A FOOTBALL.
@aydansavaskan Yes, unfortunately all that was lacking was the necessary skill and technique to pull it off.....
Hello
