Unforgettable moments with Pele….

Vijay Deshpande writes from Mumbai…..

As the FIFA world cup has got kicked off , it is inevitable to forget the legendary Brazilian Footballer and the Uncrowned King of the game, PELE !

By virtue of service in Air India , I had an opportunity to meet the legend when he had an overnight halt in Centaur, on 27th Jan 1976.I had taken his autograph, a photo with him while taking the autograph and finally a cup of coffee with a 15 min chat with him prior his departure. I cannot forget the most fortunate shake hand I had with him before his going to the aircraft.Almost a dream like thing for me, who does not know more or anything about football,except it is being played by feet..That was the most precious and unforgettable moment of my life of 55 years of autograph collection.
