Free Spirit; Footy Guru spotlights OG Predator...

Here is a look back at one of the most famous soccer boots of all time...

In the early 1990s following his retirement from the game, ex Liverpool winger Craig Johnston designed and created the prototype for the Adidas Predator football boot.


In 1994, the Adidas Predator was launched, proving to be a revolution in the footy world. Furthermore, players noticed they had more power, more control and more swerve, and that the boot allowed them to strike a ball with pinpoint accuracy. In addition, it did not hurt that the likes of David Beckham and Zidane were the poster boys of the boot.
1998; a year to remember for Beckham, adidas, and the Predator Accelerator and all of England with the loss to Argentina.
