Pele was not the Fifa Coins only youngster

Pele was not the  Fifa Coins  only youngster to give himself a grand introduction to the world on the biggest stage of all. A 20-year-old Florian Albert wowed audiences at Chile 1962, before going on to become one of Hungarian and European football’s most elegant, accomplished forwards, while West Germany’s Franz Beckenbauer was the same age when he dazzled at England 1966.

Then there was Peru’s Teofilo Cubillas at Mexico 1970, Belgian playmaker Enzo Scifo at Mexico 1986, Robert Prosinecki of Yugoslavia at Italy 1990, England’s Michael Owen at France 1998, and Senegalese ace El Hadji Diouf four years later.
