                Portuguese Football Great Eusebio Dies at Age 71

   by Reuters

   Portuguese great Eusebio, acknowledged as one of fooball's (soccer)
   greatest ever strikers, has died aged 71, Portuguese media reported on
   Sunday.
   The "Black Panther," whose full name was Esuebio da Silva Ferreira was
   born in Mozambique but made his name as a fearsome striker for Portugal
   at the 1966 World Cup in England, where he top-scored with nine goals
   to help his team finish third.
   He won the European Cup with Benfica in 1962 and was named European
   Footballer of the Year in 1965.
   The Portuguese sports daily A'Bola said Eusebio had died of a cardiac
   arrest in the early hours of Sunday morning.
