sport news ALAN MULLERY: I was so proud to get Pele's jersey until it was STOLEN - but  ... trends now

Brazil shirts have always been yellow and green. The shorts have always been blue. Why would you change that unless you had no option? I can't understand it.

Is it about the money? Ah, because I'm afraid when money comes into the equation, it all starts making sense.

Those colours represent Brazil and nobody else. You can't say that about many football shirts.

I wouldn't want to see them playing in any other colours - it would take something away from the occasion.

The yellow shirts will always remind me of Pele and those marvellous teams over the years. It will be the same for millions, maybe billions of others going back to 1970, when that brilliant Brazil side lifted the trophy the first time the World Cup was broadcast in colour.
