My memory of watching Pele and Co. at Goodison Park during the World Cup in 1966. I was only 17 years old but the memory is still vivid. The atmosphere both inside and outside of the ground, the different colours of the kits, the Brazilian trainer with his medical box and not just a bucket and sponge. The world class players on view including Pele, Eusebio, Garrincha, Bene, Simoes and Albert. In just 2 weeks I saw memorable matches that are still talked about to this day.
