A sad day for football and sport in general as Portugal and Benfica legend Eusebio passed away, as well as a plethora of American (and one Canadian!) teams, he scored an astonishing 317 Goals in 301 matches for Benfica;

His full honours list include;

Sporting de Lourenço Marques

1 Mozambique Premier League

Benfica

11 Portuguese League titles
5 Portuguese Cups
1 European Cup

Toronto Metros

1 North American Soccer League title

As well as a whole host of personal honours.
