No he did not find time in 1966, because they kicked the shit out of him in that tournament to the point where he was gonna quit international football.Yeah - he was before my time - @Portly & @Judge Jules likely followed Pele’s great grandfather’s youth career.
His record speaks for itself - triple World Cup winner, he even found time to let England win one when he was approaching his peak.
His scoring record was sensational too.
Yes Pelé's brutal treatment in 1966 was very ugly. The Portuguese in particular set out to disable him and they succeeded. I was a spectator at Goodison Park for Brazil's game against Hungary which Hungary won 3-1. Pelé was out injured for that match.No he did not find time in 1966, because they kicked the shit out of him in that tournament to the point where he was gonna quit international football.
That infectious smile. RIP.

Stop being a queen. Football is more poplar than ever and there are stars, Mbappe and Haaland but as we don't have either who gives fuck? We win trophies and titles, good memories will still be formedPele
Maradona
Two of the game’s greatest, gone.
Messi and Ronaldo - retiring soon.
There’s nobody who has stepped up to take their places in today’s game. Nobody close.
Game’s finished.
There were a few years between Pele and Maradonna and a few years between Maradonna and Messi, and football didn't die during those periodsPele
