RIP Pele (p9)

Wonder if anyone on Blue Moon saw him in the '66 World Cup ? Didn't Brazil stay at the Lymm Hotel as their base ?

They did, (and Korea) plenty of photos around and there is a small exhibition of the man at Lymm heritage centre in the village (5 cracking Pubs too).

In true British style the fabulous Lymm Hotel was demolished a couple of years ago.
Travesty and nowhere near enough was made of the fact Brazil and the greatest ever footballer stayed there during '66.

Always a palm to grease for developers!

Sad to hear. I found out that Mario Zagallo is still alive (91 years old) the last surviving member of the starting 11 of the 1958 World Cup winning team.

WTF!
FIFA plans to ask every country in the world to name a stadium in honour of the late football legend Pele, its president Gianni Infantino has said.

Yes all football should mourn the passing of Pele but Infantino is getting well above himself.
