In this iconic photo print, the legendary Pele captivates the crowd with his heartfelt farewell speech before his final game. The football maestro, representing Cosmos, stands at the center of attention as he addresses the eager spectators. With a microphone in hand and passion in his eyes, Pele urges the crowd to join him in chanting "love" five times, symbolizing unity and harmony through sport. To Pele's right stand two notable figures from the world of football - Franz Beckenbauer and Alberto Carlos - both teammates who have shared countless victories with him throughout their careers. Alongside them is none other than boxing legend Mohammad Ali, reigning as the World Heavyweight Champion at that time. Completing this star-studded lineup is former England captain Bobby Moore, adding an extra touch of prestige to this momentous occasion.
