Alan Mullery who became a good friend of Pele was interviewed earlier on Radio 4. He recalls a game before the 1970 World Cup when England played Brazil. He was tasked with keeping close to Pele and following him wherever he went to reduce his influence on the game. At half time, the England team were having a pep talk but Mullery was missing. He came back into the changing just before the England team went back out. 'Where the hell have you been Mulls?' asked Ramsay. 'I've been doing what you told me boss. Following Pele around and keeping close to him in their changing room!'
RIP Pele.

Best player I've ever seen for sure.
The 1970 WC final was his pinnacle in my opinion. Part of a remarkable Brazil side that is the best I've seen at international level.

Came over as a decent individual as well as a truly exceptional player. A sad loss.
