As a regular poster on the Politics thread, I have actually previously commented exactly that - that there is a definite imbalance of opinions. However, if no-one responds, contests or just posts alternative opinion then the situation will not change. Raise a discussion over there and see how it goes.
RIP The epitome of the beautiful game in playing and representing it, after his retirement. We are unlikely to see another like him. 1970 was my first WC. From WC coins and sticker albums to watching that incredible Brazilian team, it was an absolute joy and it was a long time before a WC was anywhere near as good...and Pele was front and centre in all that was good. Only the best kid on the playground got to play as Pele....I was Tostao at best.
Wasn’t around during his era but the man was ahead of his time and some. Watched enough of these to know:
No doubt, but in the playground, it was definitely.... 1. Pele 2. Jarzinho 3. Anyone who wasn't Felix, Pele or Jarzinho
In '82 my older brother played in a Sunday team, whose centre forward was nicknamed Serginho...he was that bad!
Underlying memory of Pele, the 1970 world cup team , I remember 66 but to me this was the world cup that stood out and one name was Pele ,he was the master who everybody wanted to see , RIP
Nah... @Dier Hard is a grade A turd Posted before I saw The RIPs ... been a few recently that have impacted many lives
RIP It wouldn't have been nearly as much fun without the fashion element. More than most people in the punk scene, she was a true visionary and enduring talent. Even today, there's usually 1 bloke at every gig wearing one of these... please log in to view this image
He was the GOAT in my opinion. Yes, I am biased, as like you, this was the idol I grew up with. But there was something very special about the man. RIP Pele - a man who brought light to a game and to his country! And this picture is etched in my memory:
