Pelé’s shimmering legend was forged in the heat of the 1970 World Cup in Mexico. His four goals, including one in the final against Italy on June 21 (Mexico City), helped push Brazil to victory. His greatest goal during the tournament, however - most commentators agree - was the first he scored in the match against Czechoslovakia on June 3 (Guadalajara). The present photograph was taken during that match. After the final Pelé was officially named ‘Player of the World Cup 1970’.
This is an original b/w silver gelatin press photograph from 1970, which has a small fold in the lower part (within the white edge). Furthermore normal signs of age and wear.
