This evening we continue our World Cup iNostalgia look back, looking at the foreign football stars who came to Manchester when England hosted the tournament in 1966.
Italy - Baggio
Italy, Forza Azzurri, and Italia have such a rich soccer/football/Calcio history, hard to believe they won't be at the World Cup and I don't agree with some of how they have played the game in the past, referring to gamesmanship but still, amazing. Baggio:
Thomas Langu Sweswe
The Zimbabwean 
Thomas Langu Sweswe remains the only football player on earth to play an entire 90 minutes football match without kicking the ball. It’s one of the records that may never be broken in Football history.
Damien Duff
Damien Duff wrapped up a 3-0 win for Ireland v Saudi Arabia in the 2002 World Cup and produced one of the most fondly remembered celebrations in Irish football history.
Siphiwe Tshabalala
Siphiwe Tshabalala converted a spectacular assist from Kagisho Dikgacoi in the 55th minute against Mexico into one of the biggest moments in SA football in the opening game of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in RSA
N’Golo Kanté
N’Golo Kanté is the only player in football history to win the Premier League, World Cup, Champions League, and Club World Cup all at the same club.
