Most sports stars and celebrities these days are fiercly protected by publicists and managers. Clearly Pele, the original soccer superstar didn’t have those interferences. I am assuming the others in the shot are his fellow players and it’s nice to see that easy comeraderie that teammates have with each other.
Exactly how it should be – nice and relaxed – no fear or nervousness.
This pic must have been taken during Pele’s time with Cosmos New York. The great ass on the right belongs to German soccer royalty Franz Beckenbauer.
