Pelé, R.I.P.
« on: December 29, 2022, 01:28:56 PM »
I gave being a soccer fan a try in the '70s after the Cosmos brought in Pelé, Giorgio Chinaglia and Franz Beckenbauer. Even though he was already a pretty old guy by then, Pelé was amazing to watch.

He also was an incredible ambassador for the game. I went to an outing at which he was the featured guest, and he signed autographs for everybody there -- stayed hours to do it. I still have that little sheet of paper with his signature.

Truly one of a kind. He will be missed.

Yes, I made a mistake and realized it immediately. I just put it there.

Pele was selfish and took all the shots. Regular chucker.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

But he only made the easy shots.
