Pele - was he that good? And why ?

Watch escape to victory.
Will tell you all you need to know.

Not only has he won the World Cup but he fucked up the nazis after breaking his ribs and pulling off an overhead bicycle kick to free the prisoners of war which lead to the collapse of the 3rd reich.

i used to pay to watch gerry creaney ,youre saying could of been as good as him :)

He wasn't far behind, just needed to practice his passing, heading, running, chasing, shooting, and he could have been in that Brazil team. He was only short of having a Brazilian grandmother.

From Peter Doherty to Pele? I thought wumming was a code of conduct issue?

You are right. Pele was no match for our Pete.

He was pre-TV period and before the rise of hyperbole and wall to fucking wall punditry, so he was shite and couldn't lace the boots of Rooney.

 

[Super-Barwuah]

I find it hard to take him seriously when he counts his friendly and army goals in his career total whenever he speaks about his goal haul.

Hmm why would he not talk about it he was the one scoring them id be proud too! Who would you take seriously fake ronaldo :))

Not only has he won the World Cup but he fucked up the nazis after breaking his ribs and pulling off an overhead bicycle kick to free the prisoners of war which lead to the collapse of the 3rd reich.

But Sylvester Stallone got the Man of the Match award

Brilliant player. Light years behind Diego.

I only saw him play in the 1966 World Cup era and he had been kicked so often by then he may have already been past his best. From highlight reels I have seen he certainly looked special.

If anybody doesnt think he was brilliant, you might be on the wrong type of forum. In fact, no might about it
