After their World Cup encounter with Bobby Moore’s England in Mexico in 1970, this is the defining moment which was projected and replicated around the globe, as Brazil’s finest, Pele exchanged shirts with the aforementioned.
This is universally recognised as the moment when the tradition, despite happening on a few occasions prior, entered into sporting folklore and became the done thing, as two mutually respected combatants demonstrated the ultimate way of respecting one another on leaving the field of play.
This individually numbered giclee piece – entitled, ‘Pele and Moore’ - is based on the re-imagined photograph which flashed around the world immediately afterwards, and in this particular case bears Pele’s signature and forms part of a limited edition print run available here.
