GK: Ivo Viktor (Czechoslovakia)
Viktor was the goalkeeper famously lobbed from the opposition half, but not beaten, by Pelé at the 1970 FIFA World Cup. At the 1976 UEFA European Championship the 34-year-old enjoyed the best week of his career. His performances against the Netherlands and even more so West Germany were the stuff of legend. After several telling saves, some bordering on the miraculous, he was voted into third place in the 1976 Ballon d’Or. Five times the Czechoslovakian Footballer of the Year, Viktor ended his career in 1977 with 63 caps.
DF: Ján Pivarník (Czechoslovakia)
