Thanks for posting, Tom. He was such a skilled player with remarkable touch in traffic. He made some of those defenders look like the Washington Generals against the Harlem Globetrotters.

One evening my family went to have a Holiday Dinner with Davies & Walter Bahr at their home. Walter told me about going to Pele's home in Brazil for dinner. Good memory. RIP to all.
