The World Cup Story the first sixty years

Pelé

The 1970 World Cup was perhaps the greatest moment in Pelé career. He played brilliantly throughout, scoring four goals. He was the best player in perhaps the finest team in the history of football.

Pelé did incredible things with the ball. In the semi-final against Uruguay he tried to chip the goalkeeper from the halfway line - and almost scored! And watch this amazing trick!
