Brazil Pele Captain & Football Legend T-Shirt With Colour Print

Product Information

In his father's room, he looked to a picture of Jesus on the wall. "If I'd been there I wouldn't have let Brazil lose," he declared. "If I'd been there Brazil would have won." Twenty years later, he made good on the promise. Brazil would beat England by a goal difference, and although West Germany would eventually eliminate the English side, that match left one of the most memorable images: Bobby Moore and Pele exchanging their shirts with a gesture of mutual admiration. His importance as a figurehead had only increased during a time of instability and uncertainty, with the country under military rule following the coup d'etat of 1964.

Portugal defender Joao Morais would be the last in a line of hatchet men tasked with nullifying Pele by any means at that World Cup, his most brutal act a trip followed by a two-footed lunge that left the Brazilian forward powerless to influence what would be a 3-1 loss. One of the best defenders of the time, Tarcisio Burgnich, would explain about Pelé: "We jumped together, but when I was on earth, he was still in the air. I had thought to encourage myself: Pelé is flesh and blood, like me. But I was wrong." Once again at a crucial point there was Pele, his assist so simple yet exact in its execution, his selflessness never better exemplified. Even without Pelé in the equation, historians agree that the 1970 World Cup was the best World Cup in living memory.

Leading the way with his drum is singing winger Jairzinho, 'The Hurricane', scorer of a goal in every one of his team's five games so far in the tournament, all of them victories.

England were the benchmark at Mexico 1970, the current holders that many felt had only grown stronger in the four years since their maiden World Cup triumph. For Brazil this was a 'final before the final'. For Pele, it was also an emotional hurdle to clear.

The opening game was a ferocious rebuttal to all those who had written him off, including Czech coach Jozef Marko who's side took an early lead but was then left to rue describing the forward as a "spent force". Against all odds, Pele's 1970 jersey flew through the Italian side, opening the scoring with a header, followed by three of his team-mates. Italy would be defeated 4-1 at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. It had been England celebrating in the summer of 1966 as Pele sat at home, nursing his bruised body and pride. Symbolically, this was the game in which he could finally lay all the frustration of four years ago to rest.

Better known as Pele, the young Brazilian led not only the best Brazil of all time, but also the most lethal team in living memory. The club started up again as the MLS became increasingly popular and for the 2011-12 season they played a series of friendlies and exhibition matches, Manchester United legend Eric Cantona was the club’s Director of Soccer at this time and the following season the club joined the North American Soccer League – the second-tier of American football. With tears on his face and the repetitive beat of his team-mates' batucada [percussive samba] filling his ears, Pele calms himself. This is not a time for doubt. He is the most established of his country's players, a two-time world champion, a leader. Having undertaken such a journey to get here, he must not stumble now. They won the Soccer Bowl 78 final 3-1 against Tampa Bay Rowdies, the attendance of 74,901 is to this day a record attendance at a North American football match.
