I thought he would live forever.

That 1970 Brazil team was the first I really fell in love with. Pele was its heartbeat.

He won his first WC at 17!

The 70 team was the best ever. If you didn’t see them play you can’t realize how good they were. The final against Italy was total domination.

And Italy weren't a poor side just played off the pitch by a collection of football geniuses.

Definitely the best international team I watched with the Dutch Total Football side being the next (Spain of Iniesta/Xavi, third). But I'm too young to have seen Puskas's Hungary in the late 50s
