Pele, the world's greatest footballer, is also the world's greatest flatterer!!!

If you were asked to name history’s greatest footballer, then Pele would top a shortlist of one.

But if you were asked to select the game’s most egregious flatterer, the old boy would probably top that list as well. Pele being Pele, he is frequently asked to pick his own finest player.

He is just a touch predictable. If he’s in London, it’s Bobby Moore. In Buenos Aires, it’s Maradona. In Belfast, George Best. And so on. Likewise with teams. If it’s Budapest, then it must be Hungary; in Amsterdam, it’s Holland. More...
