Pele: Seven reminders why Brazilian is a footballing great
Having made his professional debut for Santos at the age of just 16, Pele was selected to represent Brazil in the 1958 World Cup in Sweden when he was just a year older. He would belie his inexperience in stunning fashion.
In the 1970 World Cup group game with Czechoslovakia, with the score at 1-1, he spotted goalkeeper Ivo Viktor off his line and launched an outrageous shot from inside his own half that sailed just inches wide. He would not score in the game but would come mightily close, courtesy of a shot set up by an outrageous bit of improvisation.
