I was at school at the time and they let the Pigs at our school have the afternoon offMe too. Can you believe the school let us have the afternoon off to go. (Can't remember if we actually got free tickets).
I too was disappointed with Pele, but the Santos no.9 , Edu , was outstanding.
We played West Ham soon after in an afternoon kick off but were not allowed time off
I had to do detention for going. The excuse was the Pigs could go and see Pele, I told school I wanted to see Bobby Moore
best individual display ive ever seen was beckenbaur for west germany in world cup group game at swillsbro 66 hes was unbelievable and ran the game
I went to that game as a 9 year old West Germany v Switzerland
I too at that early age was mightily impressed with an 18 year old Beckenbauer he became my favourite player
apart from Blades players. I was also impressed with a Swiss player that played in that game Heinz Bani
