There’s footage out there of Pele and Maradona in a studio playing head tennis , lovely piece , suggest people Google or you tube
He was a fantastic footballer and always a gentleman on and off the pitch.

Is that Johny Fullam marking him?
Neymar said a lovely piece on Pele how he turned entertainment into Art , and I agree , but equally I’m thinking if you really believe that why do you cheat ? Why do you dive ? Your Brazilian you fooker you’ve probably met the man , yet you play the game ina completely different manner to the great man
( rant over )

Seemed to have a way with people . Everybody liked him ( except maybe his ex wives but that’s acceptable)
Remembered everyone’s name and had time for all
Rare to see any soccer stats do the same now
Wasn’t a problem, as he seemed to have another on the waiting around the corner 
. But yeah he always came across as a friendly guy, always seemed to have a big smile.

Yeah, think it was him, he scored in that game, he lived near me, very nice family.
Never saw him play but seems to have been a legend and a decent skin. Rip.
