EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photograph captured by Colorsport Images, the legendary Pele and his Cosmos teammate Giorgio Chinaglia are seen preparing to kickoff for Pele's farewell game. The atmosphere is electric as fans eagerly await the start of what would be a historic moment in football history. It was January 10th, 1977, at Giants Stadium in New York when Pele took to the field one last time, donning the famous Cosmos jersey. As he stands alongside Chinaglia, there is a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect between these two greats of the game. Pele's farewell game was not just an ordinary match; it was a celebration of his extraordinary career that had spanned over two decades. The Brazilian maestro had mesmerized audiences with his unparalleled skill and grace on the pitch, leaving an indelible mark on football. As the referee blows his whistle and Pele kicks off for the final time, emotions run high among players and spectators alike. It marked both an end and a new beginning - bidding farewell to one era while passing on the torch to future generations. Colorsport photographer Andrew Cowie expertly captures this poignant moment in black-and-white, emphasizing its timeless significance. This print serves as a cherished memento for football enthusiasts worldwide who hold dear memories of witnessing Pele's greatness firsthand.
