There was a kid way back in 1958 who managed to convince his soccer mom to let him go on bigger adventures as soon as he blew the candles celebrating his 17th birthday. He joined the Brazilian squad in their foray across the Atlantic, took full advantage of his youth, unmatched skills and God given football wisdom that propelled him to the world throne of football and signalled the dawn of a new era. I’m telling you about one of the greatest: the king, Brazil’s Pelé who remains the youngest player ever to play a final and the youngest to be a champion. He scored twice to give Brazil a 5-2 victory over Sweden and its first world title.
If you can put up with the mid-20th century TV technology (and I hope you will), just look at him. A marvel beyond description!
