To celebrate and recall Pele’s famous 1,000th Goal, which took place
40 years ago, on November 19th, 1969, scored at
Maracanã Stadium, against Vasco da Gama, during the Silver Cup tournament (Taça de Prata), I have inserted below videos with images of that happening.
The goalkeeper who took the one thousandth goal by the King of Football was Andrada, Vasco da Gama’s Argentinian goalkeeper. Santos won the game by 2
x 1. The referee who awarded the penalty kick was Manuel Amaro de
Lima and the defender who committed the foul was the back Fernando (who
still today denies having committed the penalty foul, saying that Pele
stumbled on his leg and the referee was just trying to please Pele and the crowd of fans, who wanted to see the King’s goal).
Edson Arantes do Nascimento (Pele’s given name),
Athlete of the Century (title given by the International Olympic Committee), was 69 years old last October 20th (he was born on October 20th, 1940).
Our King of Football always deserves our respects, for
everything he did for football and Brazil. More information about his career can be found in his website.
