I remember Banks' impossible save from Pele's header in 1970 WC, Pele couldn't believe it and shook his hand. True sportsman.

I watched this 17 year old score two in the World Cup final against the home nation Sweden.He had scored Brazil's 3 goals in the semi final against France.I was in my 12th year and had never seen football like it.
In 1966 I watched him carried off the pitch after Portugal had kicked him black,blue and red on both legs from thigh to ankles.Yet he come back in 1970 to win his third World Cup.
He is part of my football life.
I also enjoyed my runs ashore in Santos when I was in the Merchant Navy,enough said about that.
