No but they did play against each other mentioned in here. Plus a pic of him swapping shirts with a Celtic player (although in a Scotland v Brazil match)

Amazed Celtic have not managed some ridiculous tenuous link like he mentioned the Lisbon Lions at some point. Probably still to come.

Only team to be leading the scottish league at the time of his death 

[Ten Caat]

Thread on Follow Follow paying tribute to him. Sevconians of a certain age all agreeing he was the true GOAT and saying he was their hero growing up.

Presumably not realising the great man was a devout Roman Catholic

 

[BrianFaePerth]

Poor bastard never realised his childhood dream of playing for Glasgow Rangers

 

Unlike Nacho Novo

Jimmy who?

[Poodler]

Anyone here actually see him play? Even on tv? 
 

sure he was good but half the players then smoked and drank even during games. Standard would have been mince

im sure him being the GOAT is just the result of a myth growing arms and legs, like the hibs petrol bomb incident

He was pretty decent apparently.

[BrianFaePerth]

He never played in the EPL, so a question mark will always be there 

[Ohjimmyjimmy]

No doubt our resident Brazilian will be wallowing in faux grief.

[maryhilldon]

He played in a great Brazil team surrounded by great players. It's hard to judge how good he really was though, he played his whole career in the Brazilian league (apart from a short spell spit roasting models with Davie Robb in the States) Europeans only saw him every 4 years at the World Cup.

[Poodler]

Adding friendly goals to his goal tally when Ronaldo surpassed his official tally just showed him up for the fragile man he was. 
 

added on like 500 goals haha come away

I read his autobiography years ago. I remember thinking he seemed like a bit of a dick. Just talked about money and sponsorships all the time.

He was an arsehole and shite. There we go, another mystery solved.

Skinner & Baddiel had him sussed in the 90s

😄 I remember the 'Pele was shite' section. Some outrageously shite shots/free kicks. He'd get slaughtered for them these days.

I was at the World Cup Final in Sweden.  1958.  Just behind the goal.  

Got a selfie with him.

Nothing yet, but at least we can.

Pele was a shareholder in the Dons!

Your mention of black and white TV is relevant to my point regarding the 1970 World Cup.This was the first World Cup to be televised in colour and for hundreds of millions of people to see football in a new dimension.

 

aye berto min, pay close attention

Away and find pretend friends you baboon.

interesting. that’s not very friendly.

 

the post wasn’t directed at you, btw. so you didn’t need to jump in.

[Ten Caat]

Some of us are old enough to have seen Pele play.

He was right at the end of his career admittedly....but when the USA first tried to make "soccer" a big sport their clubs in the NASL snapped up legends at the end of their careers and paid them whacking great fortunes. They also signed younger UK based players on 3 month loans when the English/Scottish leagues were in their close seasons.

Cant remember if it was BBC or ITV but around 1976 to 1978 or so they'd show highlights of the matches on Saturday lunchtimes.

I agree with you there. My point was he is 100% an icon. That’s undeniable. 

Would you have let him suck your sons Willy if he asked?

This is a bit anorak-y but I think this is the sound of Brazilian football in full flow:

Listen to this and watch the video below it at the same time:

Both my lads are over the age of homosexual consent so the great man could have approached them directly. 

It would certainly be a heartwarming anecdote at Christmas dinner. “Remember the time Pele sucked your cock.
 

Would like to think he’d prefer do have been hoovering shit loads of coke up his Mozambique with Maradona.
