Hanging around

[101Walterton]

Hello,

I worked with Pele back in the day. He was a great person - had plenty of time to chat with kids and others at the photo shoot. Everyone got an individual photo with Pele. See the photo attached - I'm in goal - the shot went wide. I have a story about penalty kicks I'll share with anyone in a pub.

That's brilliant photo mate, was that when he played for NY Cosmos?

Hello,

No. This was after he retired and was doing promotional work for Umbro. I was signed to Umbro as well so we got together for a photo shoot in Greenville, SC. He was still magic with the ball (You want to strike a ball over that kid's head 40 yards away over there? No problem!). The outfits they gave him were reminiscent of the Cosmos' gear. We made out like bandits on grabbing free gear. All my family's Christmas presents that year were from Umbro.

Hello,

I played for the Albany NY Capitals (or rather, "Lack of Capital") in the old ASL and APSL. It was a decent league as far as level of play - my teammates included Paul Mariner, Steve Powell, John Harkes, Chico Borja, Mike Masters (first US player to score a goal at Wembley) and others. It was fun to play but terrible as far as professionalism (paychecks frequently bounced).

Looks great mate.
Is that Leeds Utd in the other photo?

A signed picture of Norman Hunter who I met at an after dinner speaking event.

A real gentleman - & before people call him a dirty thug he was the first players' player of the year in 1973 (as voted by his fellow professionals).

You don't get one of these banners for nothing

Just bought this picture of Norman - It says at the top 'Welcome to Leeds'

I can't remember if that's a good movie. I last saw it in 2001.

It's Rocky dressed up as noir. And it is certainly not a good movie. But it is entertainingly bad.
