Pele was my first ever soccer experience
I believe it was around 1970 I was standing up turning the handle on the tv looking for something to watch
NO remote back then for you youngsters

It was ABC wide world of sports showing this game I Think
I saw this Brazilian (black guy) in a yellow shirt with blue shorts running around sweating his butt off doing backward flips kicking a ball
I watched my first ever Soccer game
I was amazed at what Pele was doing..knowing nothing about the game
And as fast as I learned about Pele.. as fast he disappeared from the game and I lost interest
In a few moments of watching him, I felt blessed I had the chance to watch and actually remember it .
