It appears to be worthwhile to study typical scenes of informal learning in history. We are trying to present the process of informal learning through the famous football player Puskas.

The unwritten law of the empty sites taught him to respect his teammates and his opponents - this is the only way to be successful (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
