Remembering the '95 World Cup

[LeTallecWiz]

THis could be in the movie section but I thought I'd stick it here ...

I knew of Mandela's fondness for the team, and the 'importance' he attributed to the World Cup (or him wearing the green and gold jersey) - but I didn't know there was such a story behind with with Pienaar, a player I always admired.

Looks like a really good movie ... and I'm looking forward to it already:

You do realise Mandela was Jewish, don't you, Wizzy? His real name was Mandelbaum.

At least that's what my Yiddisher momma says. 😉
