A Walk With Legends: The Number 3️⃣
from With Aplomb Hosted by eterno
Paolo Maldini. Roberto Carlos. Ashley Cole. Bixente Lizarazu. Denis Irwin. Patrice Evra. What do all these legends have in common? They all played left back and wore the #3 jersey. Not only incredibly intelligent defenders with a keen sense for situational awareness, but they were also a genuine threat going forward in attack. As the game has evolved through the century, full backs (left or right) are asked to both defend and attack on the flanks. In fact, most of the all-time great left backs regularly chipped in with assists and goals, the latter often in the form of free kicks and penalties. Join us as we delve into the history of the Number 3 jersey and the icons who have adorned the shirt! -- -- -- 🗣 As promised in the episode, here is 1:30 of perfectly timed Maldini tackles set to some VERY epic music!
