I did not take this photo, it is just my humble tribute to Pelé, who was the best soccer player in history and who happened to die today.
Many believe that this is also the best soccer photograph in history and shows one of Pelé's most brilliant moments.
As a staff photographer back then for Newsday Newspaper, I photographed Pele when he played for the NY Cosmos of the then NASL. What a gentleman and superb player. There wont be another. He is the only individual player to have won three World Cups.
