I hope the great man pulls through is illness. A mate of mine’s claim to fame is he had a kick around with him many years ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was lucky the match went ahead as this was at the time of power cuts with the miners on strike. I've found this cracking YouTube video with the match highlights. I know it's not strictly a photograph but thought it's well worth sharing. EDIT: Just seen that this video has already been posted in the Pele thread by @sidcow Did I? Must have been pissed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pele was absolutely great and happy to have a kick around with the kids. A genuinely great man. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follyfoot Posted December 10, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2022 would have been 99 today. Can we please have a colour version of this in the next few years. A lot of us could die Happy men at that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m 59 and whilst I wouldn’t rule out living for another 59 years, it’s rather unlikely and so come on Villa get a move on. Champions of England, Europe, numerous large cups, it’s all been a fabulous adventure, punctuated with plenty of heartache but the cup that we’ve won so many times has now for 66 years alluded us. We’ve had it nicked more times than SHA have won it, come on lads make Villans old and young joyous again! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
