That same game marking the Portuguese legend, Jordao, who taught me a few lessons that night spinning me around in circles a few times.

At 21, playing against the famous Polish World Cup star, Grzegorz Lato, then meeting him at dinner in Krakow that night.

Scoring 2 goals against the Czechoslovakian Olympic team in Poland winning a bronze medal in the Polish National Olympics.
