To see PELE, in the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, was most football fans dream.
Whereas, he’d been savagely kicked out of the 1966 World Cup, here was a man, at 30 years of age, with dodgy knees (no super ops in those days), taking on and beating the worlds best.
No one will convince me differently.
Today’s footballers, are yesterday’s pop stars
