I was at an impressionable age and I'd watched him at the 1958 World Cup when I was 10 years old. We had a television that we used to share on the road between all the lads, we didn't have them in every household.
Even at 17, he caught everybody's eye. I was 10, my brother was about Pele's age, it was so impressionable.
After that Santos took him everywhere to make some money and Santos took him to Sheffield Wednesday in 1962. I just thought, 'I've got to go', even though I'm a Sheffield United fan.

Pele - considered one of the greatest players of all time - passed away at 82 on Thursday night
My sister was a Wednesdayite so we went on the Kop at Hillsborough. It was an unbelievable atmosphere with the floodlight with the Santos shirts.
