On the subject of Pele, here is another wee Dundee link.This photo showing Jocky Scott battling it out with Pele was taken in the USA in 1977.Jocky was playing for the Seattle Sounders at the time (Gordon Wallace also played for them) and this crunch match against Pele's team, New York Cosmos, was the League decider. Unfortunately, Cosmos, who also had Beckenbauer & Carlos Alberta in their team, won it 2-1.The Sounders did beat Cosmos earlier in the same season with Jocky scoring the only goal!
20 years ago, the world famous feet of Brazilian football legend, Pele, were striding around Dens Park.The superstar managed to find time to chat to school kids from Hill Primary, sign loads of autographs and present an award.The award was "Man of the match", presented to Nigerian, Godwin Okpara.Dens was hosting Group C matches in the under 16 World Cup Tournament. Nigeria finished top above Argentina, Canada and China.Below are some more pictures of his Dundee Football Club visit. The wee lad he is holding is, Kristofer Johnston, who'll be 20 years old now!Photos by DC Thomson.
