Pele's great’s final match in England went down in local folklore but nearly never took place after a bitter dispute over the match fee 🟢 Richedwards0803
The crowd in both of those league games was nowhere near the 37,639 who poured into the ground to watch the great man perform. Which was part of the problem.
But fearful of the reaction if almost 40,000 Pilgrims were told that Pele was heading for the exit and taking his ball with him, he relented. Alan Hardaker, the Football League secretary, also made it clear that he would support any move to ban Santos from playing in England again. “It’s well documented that they demanded more money,” Plymouth archivist Bob Wright tells. “Funnily enough, we framed a lot of the memorabilia from that night a few months ago. We’ve still got the match ball too.”
