Masopust's memory lingers on


Josef Masopust

To help mark UEFA's Jubilee, each national association was asked to nominate its most outstanding player of the past 50 years. In the latest in a series of articles looking at the Golden Player selected by the nations who have qualified for UEFA EURO 2008™, uefa.com remembers the career of the Czech Republic's Josef Masopust.

Pavel Nedved's selection as European Footballer of the Year for 2003 was the cue for fans in the Czech Republic to remember the last player from their country to win that award – Josef Masopust in 1962.
