paulhanley Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 My first sighting of Brazil was in 82 with Zico and Socrates. Brilliant team with defensive flaws. The generation before me reckoned then that Pele was the best and still does. The footage is limited but from what there is you can see the sheer talent. 1982: Now we want Pele! and 1966 Bromwich Street. Our own links to the great man.

Duck Egg Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Unlike many other players with claims to have been the greatest footballer of their generation, Pele stayed humble, was a gentleman and a great sportsman. RIP I've just read that they've not broken the news yet to his mother! Incredible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted December 31, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted December 31, 2022 Victoire! Just watched him bag the equaliser against the Germans, in escape to victory. A bit of a shiver seeing the overhead kick 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woznotwas Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I am pretty sure that Boby is correct and the Brazil team stayed at Hale which is posh Altrincham. So donning my old bloke best route hat, I think that the team coach would have turned left from Bromwich Street onto Bradford Street and then up to Manchester Road near the Tec and thus passing Burnden Park and on to Moses Gate. On through Farnworth by Egerton Street (made one way street about this time) or Gladstone Road to reach Albert Road and straight to Walkden. ie old 42 bus service. The coach would pass Walkden HL Station on it's way to Worsley and the early but short section of motorway from there to Stretford. So white fans may have spotted the great man in very unlikely setting. I actually saw Pele at Bromwich Street which was quite a decent sent up - sadly to go the same way as most of the Embankment.
